In my life this week…
BBC Radio Berkshire
This Wednesday I had a
rather exciting day. After being nominated for a Beat Volunteer Award I was
contacted by a press officer, asking if I would be interested in appearing on
BBC Radio Berkshire. At the time I was saving my energy for the Houses of
Parliament Awards Ceremony, so, with a heavy heart I had to decline. But a few
weeks later I was contacted again by the same person, saying the BBC were still
very interested to speak to me and were happy to fit around my health. How
could I refuse?! So, on Wednesday, my Dad drove me over to BBC Monitoring in
Caversham, where a lovely radio assistant greeted me. I was then taken into the
studio and introduced to Anne Diamond, before going live on air for an
interview about my eating disorder experiences. I’m planning to do a separate
blog post going into more detail, so I won’t spoil it by telling you too much.
However, if you want to listen back to my interview, it is available here until Wednesday 2nd July. I start talking at about 10 minutes in.
New bras
Is it just me who loves
buying new underwear?! There’s something about wearing pretty bras that makes
me feel nicer than if I stick on an old discoloured bra. I haven’t bought any
new underwear for ages, so this week I treated myself to a new bra haul from
good old Marks and Spencer. They’re always my go-to shop for bras, as a trained
lady can measure you and find a size that fits you perfectly. Typical me, I
needed different sizes for different styles, so God knows what my size actually
is! But I now have a whole new bra wardrobe and throwing my old manky ones away
was very satisfying.
Buttons
I’m really getting back
into my arts and crafts and have a whole variety of projects on the cards.
Something I’m going into is starting my own little business, Jaffa Cat Designs;
selling cards, scrabble art and button art. I’m so excited to get going with
this and I’m currently making some example pieces that I can display on my
website for people to view when they’re trying to decide what they’d like me to
make. I will be doing custom, personalised pieces depending on what the
customer is after. So I’ve been stocking up on materials, which included loads
of pretty buttons. I never knew there were so many to choose from and I’ve been
addicted to browsing eBay to find hidden gems.
Just as an aside – I’ve
uploaded another video to my YouTube channel and I’d love you to check it out!
What has grabbed your attention this
week? I love hearing about people’s new discoveries and you may end up sharing
something that makes it onto my list next week!
