Rememberance Day

So as you all know today is rememberance day. I was just looking through facebook status' and I have to say I was suprised and felt my heart warmed at the amout of rememberance poems and messages on peoples profiles. Remember that today we aren't just remembering those from the 2nd world war, but also from the current war on terrorism, world war one and all of the battles that have gone before. Remember the men and women who gave and continue to give their lives to allow us to keep our freedom. Honour and respect those individuals and thier families. I personally am full of admeration and deep respect for all of them.

My Grandad Frank was a soilder. From what my mum told me, he dug out the trenches along the front line. My great uncle Doug was also a soilder. I'm not sure what his position was in the war but I have to say, I'm very proud of them both. I'm honoured to call myself his grand daughter.

The second world war is something that has interested me since I was young. I  have since read and watched many documentries on the subject. I'm in awe at how people survived, how the soilders lived. How the women on the home front took on work loads and held together british society. The war to me was a true mark on humanity and civilization. The war was the hardest time to be living in. The people rallyed round, supported each other and every street was an extended family. They let the nazis know that they could not shake the foundations of a great nation.

I'm not a religious person but God bless the soilders who are out fighting for our freedom at this moment. God bless the souls of the fallen soilders and their families. God bless the soilder who have been injured service.

The memorial nearest to where I live. Built in 1924 - First world war

Forces grave yard - St. Marys Manby in Lincolnshire

Just a note to those who say that these men and women aren't heros just remember if you aren't willing to stand behind them and support them, feel free to stand in front of them!

Puddles & Cars dont mix

Yesterday it was pooring down with rain. My mum, my sister, my nephew and myself were in the car. When my mum spotted a guy and a girl were walking along the pavement ahead. They didnt have coats on or anything. This is how the conversation went inside the car:

Mum: "They look wet dont they"

My sister: "Just a bit."

SPLASHHH!!

Me: "Well, they are now!"

We we're roaring with laughter. My mum didnt do it on purpose but it was funny. Thought I'd share that with you.

Scottish Widows....

Ok I just saw an advert for Scottish Widows... Its a bank for everybody who doesnt know. It reminded me of something that made me howl with laughter. So anyway a few months ago my sister was round my house and the phone rang. She picked it up and this is how the conversation went.... (SWR = scottish widow representative).

My sister: "Hello...."

SWR: "Hello this is (cant remember her name) calling from Scottish Widows. Would you have a few moments to spare at the moment?"

My sister: "Why? Whats this call about?"

SWR: "Like I said im calling from scottish widows and would like to inform you of the offers we have currently in regarding to our excellent mortgages..."

 My sister: "Well, I'm not Scottish And I'm not a widow... so thanks but no thanks..."

I dont remember anything after that because I was laughing too hard... I'm going to have a wild guess that the person on the end of the phone was laughing pretty hard too!!

I promise... to work out more!

I cant count how many times I've made a promise to myself and then broken it because of one reason or another. I always keep promises I make to other people but the ones I make to myself just dont seem as important to me. It occured to me a few moments ago that I'm always promising something to myself and yet only 20% of what I promise myself actually happens. I keep telling myself I will get fit and start working out more. I start it and then something comes up and then I lose track. My mum would say its because I'm lazy. Secretly I'd agree with her but I'd never tell her so. The thing is, I like to sit and read... but I also like that rush you get after a work out. Ok so at first when you start out you dont get that rush its more of a gasping 'oh my goodness this is going to kill me!' sort of feeling, but then after a few times of doing it, it starts to feel better and you get the rush.

For the past two weeks I'v been ill on and off. With my back at first and then this week with an infection. Working out is what I've been thinking about and wanting to do but with being ill, you just dont feel like it. I am literally itching to get on the exercise bike... I mean it too! Tonight I've been fidgeting, restless and want to do something. So this is it. THE promise I am making to myself. Right here, right now. To all of you good people. I am going to start working out. Every 6 weeks I'll do an update blog on how its going. In adition to my other blog posts I mean. Anyway, I would like to know from you, (yes you, dear reader), what are your favourite ways of working out? What makes a work out seem less work for you? Are work out sessions quiet times to reflect and plan or time for pumpin' music and a energy fest?

Regrets?

If you had asked me a year ago if I had regrets, I would have said yes I do. If you were to ask me that same question today... I know I dont have as many regrets as I thought I did. I know, and I'm not going to go in to it, that I did somethings I'm not particularly proud of but I dont regret them! I have learnt from my mistakes. I have grown from them. I understand so much more about life now than I did then. For example I now know that intensions, even if you have the best of them, dont actually mean anything. You could intend to make the world a better place.. intend to solve world hunger. But unless you actually physically do it, then it means nothing.

I know I've hurt people in my past. I wish I hadnt. But some of them, one in particular is an amazing person. Maybe the person I hurt the most was a guy who, at one time would have said I loved, I realise now it wasnt love. It was infatuation. I liked what he was not who he was. Thats something that suprises me as I normally go for personality! It taught me alot though if im honest. Trust. For one thing.

I remember a conversation between myself and my best friend. She was the girl who was afraid of comitment. I was the one who wanted comitment. Then we both went through relationships. Both of us got hurt. We went out to get drunk and I found myself hating comitment and she wanting nothing but. Roles reversed I guess. I think the one thing that  always kind of new was in me was that deep down I didnt trust anyone like that. Romantically I mean. I know now I dont really fully trust anyone romantically.

I guess its true what they say, the past is what makes you who you are in the present and even help shape you in the future!

Times, Life and Desicions

Recently I've been under-going some counciling. As if you've read earlier blog posts by me, I've blogged before about depression. My depression in fact. Hence the reason for the councilng. So I've been writing more. I've decided to start an aditional blog for those stories or memories. This is just a heads up for the up and coming blog! I also have more for this blog... as this isnt stoping. But for now this will have to do. My sister is nagging me to make a hot chocolate! Yay me! Take care!

Mail Order Husband?

I was recently watching a programe about mail order brides and it got me thinking. Are there mail order husband websites to? I decided to do a little research on the subject. Personally I'm not looking for a mail order husband but my curiosity was peaked, thus being the reason I have done a little bit of researched in to mail order husbands! So on my first search I found only one website, which seemed to be more of a joke than anything else!

On this particular website, I was looking through the "mail order husbands" and came across one guy from the USA. He specifically stated he was looking for a girl named "Julie". He said the reason was that he has a Julie tattoo and would like a girl to match it! He also said he would consider women who were willing to change their names! I couldnt help but laugh! Hence the reason I thought the website was a bit of a joke!

I continued my search in the role for truth and found another website that is a mail order bride and husband website. I finally found a website that seemed to be genuine. I looked through it and there actually seems to be a growing "industry". I know that there are people who would love to have a gander and maybe even look in to it more. So I will supply a link. But my quest to unearth the part truth about mail order husbands has been answered.
