Ola!

Wait, what is this?  The tumbleweed has finally disappeared from The World of Beth! It's been a little while, yes maybe more than a little while *hangs head in shame* but I have returned! A lot has happened in the teeny-tiny time space I have been away, 3 months isn't that long reaaaaally, including the details of:

1. I have finished university, forever
2. I have to be a grown up
3. I have the keys to my (our) very own apartment in York
4. And none of the above statements have actually sunk in yet.

That sums up my life pretty well I think, or at least the waves of thoughts circling around my brain. Technically, no longer am I stuck spending hours staring at a computer screen, longing to be a part of the real world again instead of drowning in assignments. I do still spend hours watching Netflix, currently working my way through Once Upon a Time, which I'd recommend to any fairy tale lover out there. But that doesn't count really. It's more a distraction that I will no longer be returning to Southampton to live with my BFF's, sniff, as in the words of Monica: "Now I have to live with a boyyyyyyy". 

But if Monica can do it, I can do it. There is already a cupboard full of cleaning products under the sink. However I always imagined myself to be more of a Rachel person. I knew there was a reason I didn't want to be a grown up. Not only can I no longer take advantage of student discount, lounge around in my pj's all day or eat pizza for breakfast, but accept that I am Monica rather than Rachel.

I think it's time for me to go and think this new realization over, and do boring things like add to my financial excel spreadsheet, adulthood is really living up to it's name right now. I promise not to be a stranger no more as this ship has now anchored and I hope you're all still happy to board the decks.

There's a Spring in my step

We have done it. We have survived winter, not that the rain and miserable weather is showing much signs of leaving yet but we are that one step closer to blue skies and fluffy white clouds. I know it's been a little while since I last posted but my life has been pretty hectic with my first of many presentations and other bits and bobs. But as it's St David's Day today, along with my Mumma's birthday (Birthday shoutout to Mumma Webb) I thought I'd give you a little post as to what I have to look forward to in the next month.

Daffodils. I bought my first lot of daffodils last week after waiting for them to come back into my latest Sainsbury's and for a pound you can't really go wrong. They brighten up my room and will certainly be a constant feature on my bedside table for the coming weeks.

York. I'm heading back up to York again in a few weeks and hopefully they weather will finally start to be a bit nicer so I can go for some walks around the city and enjoy spending some quality time with Jay.

Baby Rumbles. There's a new baby coming soon and I couldn't be more excited. She'll practically be like another little sister and I can't wait to spoil her rotten with kisses and cuddles.

Easter. At the end of this month I shall be heading back to the shire for three weeks before my last hectic month of uni commences. I love being at uni with my girlies but I know my the end of this month I'm going to be tearing my hair out with all my deadlines so it will be a welcomed break.

It's going to be a non-stop month for sure, but hopefully with some nicer weather and more frequent appearances from Mr Sunshine, my motivation will be on a high and it will be a wonderful March!

Roses are red, violets are blue

Yes, you've guessed it, this one's on the theme of love. Don't worry it won't be a pile of mush, or at least I don't think it will. With the upcoming celebration of St. Valentine on Saturday I thought I would write a little post of appreciation to the wonder that is Jay.

We're not big celebrations of Valentine's Day, but this will be our third, well technically our fourth. Our first we celebrated at the ripe age of 15, on a double date to ASK, cute I know. Then I went ahead and broke his heart 10 months later (what a bitch). But as the saying goes, Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realise how much they need to fall together. Once this realisation kicked in we spent our second 6000 miles apart, however I did get a beautiful bouquet of flowers delivered to my halls in first year, of which my sister actually believed they had come from Malaysia! Our third was spent in bed with a take-away as Jay was recovering from a hernia operation, yes I became nurse Beth for the week, and let's just say once you've had a flannel bath there's no going back! This year I'm heading back up to York, but with not much planned apart from pancakes, pretty little liars and a treat of a meal out in the evening.

Anywho, the real reason behind this post was not to tell you my life story but to give you an insight as to why my boyfriend is better than yours.

1. He shares his food with me
Yes, you read that right. It took a little while for him to overcome this hurdle but now it's a given that if he brings up a hot cross bun, I will have half of it.

2. He makes the bed
Still needs a little prompting on occasion but we are getting there

3. He always calls me beautiful
Even when I wake up from snoring and dribbling on him with my hair looking like a birds nest

4. He writes me letters
Call us old fashioned but there's a nice feeling about receiving a hand written letter through the door

5. He supports me and keeps me going
Even when I'm having a mental breakdown and he too has 101 problems

6. He sings with me
We are that couple who will duet 'Love is an Open Door

7. He puts up with my hormones
It should be classed as a talent to go from the top of the world to the grumpiest being ever

8. He can't dance
But he still puts 100% into trying 

9. He tolerates my nagging
I can seem like his mother at times

10. He looks after me when I'm poorly
And I'm not always the best of patients either

11. He doesn't get too mad at my indecisiveness
Sometimes

14. But most importantly he loves me
Too cheesy?

You may have already guessed too that my love for Disney has rubbed off on him whether he likes it or not, but every situation calls for a Disney situation! To cut a long story short I am very grateful to have Jay in my life like I do, and in true Disney style I believe I've found my happily ever after with my Prince Charming, at least until Prince Harry comes along to sweep me off my feet.
