New Year, New Start and New Dress

So things have been changing...or rather things haven't changed so much as my attitude has. Must be all the positive thinking coming from blogland! It's probably not breaking news but the concept that things are not naturally happy and shiny but must be made so has taken quite some time to filter through to me. I am determined to work towards what I want to get out of life and that I get to decide that, not the words or opinions of other people.

In other news here is a picture of the dress I will be wearing to a wedding tomorrow:-
Anyway apologies for the long silence, I'll make no vows since I broke the last one but have missed my little spec of the internet xxx

Radical Self Love

I am taking part in the lovely Gala Darling's month of Radical Self Love. Beginning this month I promise to my self to keep moving forward, to live openly, honestly and healthily.

So to that end I have started this blog (something I have been considering doing for a while) and been giving things some thought. So here's me:-

I'm 26, I live in Manchester with two housemates (more on them later). I'm interested in films, reading; I get geeky about a few TV shows and love hanging out with my best friend who lives about 4 hours away. Over the past year or so I have started getting more interested in clothes and am learning, slowly, to make my own. I have had issues with depression in the past and social-anxiety at the moment. Also I suffer from seasonal affective disorder but this year wasn't so bad thanks to Bertie, my light therapy box. And yes, I name technology.

So there. That's more than my current workmates know about me.
