Detox

I disappeared again didn't I?

Sorry about that, it wasn't intentional. Just been a little bit busy getting back on top of life.

Plus there was the no internet thing....

How on earth did we cope before it? In fact for the last few weeks I have had no internet, no phone and no car. I went old skool baby, and I lived to tell the tale.

So now I'm back. I did survive. And it was probably good for me. Being only able to check your emails, FB, Twitter, Blog, G+, Instagram and work between the hours of 9 and 12 forces you to focus on the important stuff (ie getting paid) and the 'nice to have' little addictions simply fall away.

In truth I surprisingly didn't really miss any of it apart from this little corner of the internet I like to call my own. And so I'll be trying to show my blog a little more love in the coming year and the rest of the jumble that comes with it, a little less. It's truly amazing the amount of time and headspace that are taken up by it all.

During my detox I've not only moved house and got the kids settled back into their old school, I've done little craft projects, read books, written with an actual pen and paper in those lovely notebooks I keep buying, and got through the whole first series of Downton Abbey without once being interrupted by my phone (or rather my need to check all my updates on my phone).

There's a lot to be said for it, living in the moment instead of continually updating your status on it.

It is good to be back with the cool kids though...
