So much has changed

What is my life. Where am I going and what am I doing. I don't even know where to begin.

Ill try and make this as short as possible, considering my life feels so shit right now, Ive got so much that's happened in the past 2 years.

I'm still with my beloved Dean, we have our ups and downs but I don't know where I would be without him. In november he got promoted to Night Manager, which was amazing. In my opinion he is a brilliant leader and he will go on to do great things eventually. Unfortunately things didn't go quite as planned as recently his Colitis got quite bad. He's been suffering with anxiety and depression aswell, so he took the very brave decision to step back down to colleague. I am so proud of him for being strong enough to say 'you know what, after everything I've achieved, my health is the most important thing'. There should be more people in the world like him.

On the flip side, last august I got promoted to Produce Section Leader, which involved me taking a huge step and moving onto days. It was one if the hardest times of my life, because I was basically learning to be a colleague whilst having people rely on me as their leader whilst at the same time taking a pay cut of nearly £400 a month. I entered a job with no prior knowledge of the role, I didn't even no how a day ran on the day shift, so its safe to say I was very very stressed for a long time. I would never wish what I went through upon anyone.

Things did work out for me though eventually. Ive now been on days for nearly a year and I've learnt so much and made so many new friends. I'm now section leader on counters and its great. Another challenge, I've never done anything like counters and I think I've done pretty well considering. In this past year I've really discovered a lot about myself, I'm adaptable and confident in what I know. There's still a lot I've got to learn yet but I'm slowly getting there.

I've made some boss mates, who I would actually now consider to be my best friends. I've never had a proper group of girl mates, i love them all ❤ ive attached a pic, the only one that's missing is Leah. *note to self: Photoshop Leah in* haha

Last year so many good events happened...

First of all, in June me Sara and Jennie got last minute tickets to Download Festival.... £20 quid each!! I somehow managed to get the time off work, quick pack and we left haha. Spontaneous decisions are always the best afterall.

In August, me Leah Sara and Sarah went to Creamfields! It was amazing, totally different atmosphere to any other festival I've ever been to.. Mainly because it was full of drugs and scallys hahaha

In September, I went to Benidorm with Leah and her family for her mums 50th! We had so much fun, highlights include Sticky Vicky .. Like yeh just no need to even explain lmao, and Alison being so drunk in a bar she had to hold on to the rail hahah.

In October, Dean and I went to Mexico! Like literally, the most amazing place in the world. I've never been on a holiday and said straight after, I wanna go back, but this time I did. We stayed in the Grand Bahia Principe Akumal, and omg I loved it so much. I've attached a pic of me and dean snorkeling in Xel-ha :)

Now back to this year, 2015 and I've just got back from Download Festival again hahah. Dean traveled in on the wed and Sara and I got there Friday morning :) as always slipknot were amazing!

Last but not least. I did so well on my weight loss with going the gym and dieting, I hit 12 stone 10lbs last year .. Literally the lowest I've ever been since my weight loss journey. Unfortunately, since Christmas its been a different story. I've kept piling the pounds on and in the space of 5 months I'm now 15stone 2lbs. :'( feel like everything I achieved has been thrown away. I definitely need to start again
