Currently Reading #2 • Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I am back again with a currently reading, and yes its another Harry Potter book. I never actually finished reading the Philosopher's stone but I just couldn't resist starting the new book.  I started reading this book on the 5th of August and am already pretty much half way though. Considering how much of a slow reader I am thats good for me. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is a follow on story from the Harry Potter series, it is set 19 years later with Harry Potters child Albus is the main character. The book is written in script form with staging ideas too. So far it is a brilliant book, a real page turner, the only issue is is that it makes me want to go a see the show in London. xXx

Libaries and puddle jumping • Summer Holiday Project 2016 #9

Image
Today has been very wet and cold, more like an autumn day than the summer days we shoukd be having. Anyway we embraced the weather and still ventured out with coats and wellies in toe. The first place we went to was the libary, we had to take some of her old books back and Lil's picked some more books to take home. She picked three new books which she couldn't wait to read. The next place was town to see my parents and to pick up a book myself. I pre ordered Harry Potter and the Cursed Child a few months back and finally got my hands on my copy today which made me pretty excited, like bringing my chdhood back. I actuly did the midnight book launch for the last two Harry Potter books.  We then went to have some lunch and a quick catch up. Mum had got Lil's a couple of the suprise eggs, one shopkins and the other a frozen one.  We had a few more errands to do in town but before we could get going back home Lil's found a few puddles to jump u...

Currently Reading #1 • Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone

 I absolutely love reading and lately I have been recording what I am reading and when. I then thought why don't I write it on my blog rather than a piece of paper.  My latest book is Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone. I am reliving my childhood going back through the series and can't wait to relive the next 6 books too.  As some of you may know I am a bit of a potterhead and always go back to the films but have not gone back though the page in a long while, theg have sadly been sitting gathering dust, but no more! I don't read very fast as I usually end up falling asleep in my book so these will be very random. I would love any suggestions to add to my list of 'Must reads' and I hope you like reading what I am reading. xXx

Being a carer for my parents

Image
Both my parents have mobility issues and are bithnow in wheelchairs. Since I can remember my Mum has been in a wheelchair due to have a very worn hip joint which she was born with.  When I was in year 9 my Dad's back started to hurt and progressivly got worse to the point where he struggled to get out of bed. I am now classed as a carer to my mum which is important for me, my mum is very stubborn and sometime I have to have a little nag to get her to do things. I don't see my parents in any other way than just my parents, if that makes sense. My Mum is an amazing person who makss me proud every day. Due her lack of mobility she also has other health problems which she can control with tablets and lifestyle changes.  My Dad is still constantly on the go with his veterans and the local carnival which he does every year using his mobility scooter as his base for his structure. He does feel it after he compeltes things but I think it gives him motivation to...
