Title : Carry On
Author: Rainbow Rowell 
This book has a map on the insides of the covers to show what the school the characters are attending, it makes it really good for people who have trouble imaging what the schools or location would look like.

This book is a fantasy/romance book and it’s written in different people’s point of views, it skips from person to person to give a view on each situation happening within the book. We first meet Simon Snow who is a Mage, the chosen one who the book focuses on. We’re thrown into some drama when he’s on his way to school after a long boring summer. He’s thrown into an adventure with a taxi driver trying to kill him and become king. 
Within the book we follow Simon, his friend Penlope and his girlfriend Agatha as well as their ‘’enemy’’ Baz who isn’t actually introduced properly until a couple chapters in, as the whole book is separated into four different ‘’Books’’, though I’m actually not sure why this is the way it is but I do enjoy it as it helped me see how much I had left.

We follow Baz and Simon on their adventures, they get thrown together because of Baz’s real mother. Baz and Simon decide to make a truce with one another and help each other out. While they’re thrown together however we find out that Baz is actually in love with Simon and has been since the first day he met him! We get a little insight on how Baz really thinks rather than what Simon thinks that Baz thinks, I’ve never really read a book like that before except for another one of Rainbow’s books, Eleanor and Park which is written in the same kind of style switching between characters point’s of views.

My favourite character I would have to say is Baz, Baz is so misunderstood within the book and he puts on this strong look on the outside so no one know’s what he’s truly thinking or feeling. He has many, many secrets and the only person who knows them is Simon who he has shared a room with for four years and counting, he’s never told anyone he was gay and that he was a vampire, turned when he was five years old he kept it a secret due to the fact that magical species aren’t supposed supposed to mix. 
Simon had his suspicions from the first year together but he finally catches Baz and decides not to tell anyone about it, he’s not sure why but I believe it’s because deep down, although he doesn’t know it and has a girlfriend, he is also in love with Baz.

The first time we as the readers get a insight about Baz and Simon’s real relationship it comes at an unexpected time. We just have Baz threatening to kill himself because he feels like an awful person and he’s almost setting himself on fire so Simon kisses him to distract him and stop the fire. This is also the funniest part to me due to the fact that while they’re kissing the point of view keeps switching and they’re both wondering if they’re still enemy’s and what this means. Baz also wants to punch Simon in the face but continue to kiss him.

After the kiss we are treated to a few more chapters of the two boys going from kissing to fighting before they finally confess their feelings for one another.

There is so much in this book that I love, I would only say I hate the ending, I won’t give too much away but the ending is amazing yes but we are left with unanswered questions and a cliffhanger of sorts. I did love it and I can’t wait for October 3rd to come around so I can get the hardback cover of the new one called ‘Wayward Son’. A little pun on the song ‘’Carry On My Wayward Son.’’

I can’t wait to read more from this author, I have four more books of her’s sitting on my shelf and I can’t wait to get around to them, though I think I will space them out as she is my favourite and I do love all of her work. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone who LOVED harry potter as a kid or as an adult as I still like to read those books now.

Hello guys! I've been away again I know haha, but I'm back now and I thought I would give a little book review! So we all know the books or movies called Twilight, I personally hated the films but I thought I would give the books a read and see if they were any good...They are!

The book is Twilight, written by Stephenie Meyer. Now as I said I wasn't a big fan of the movies as I found them to be quite cringy, I would even say bad acting on some parts just because the casting could have been a lot better. They also changed a lot of aspects from the book and in the film.

For example, in the movie Bella is portrayed as this awkward antisocial teen who is very clumsy and not really good at anything but in the book, she's actually a teenager suffering with depression, broken up parents and she has all of these different hobbies that are expressed in the book. The depression is actually brought up a lot in the book which, from personal preference, I like, I like it because it feels like it's bringing attention to depression in teens and others. Not many books focus on characters that have depression.

A lot of the characters in the books have huge back stories! I never really knew about Alice from the movies and reading this book I got to know the character a lot more, we learn about her past...well we learn about everyone's past including Esme who was also depressed, I think that's why she takes so kindly to Bella because she sees herself in the young woman.

Roseline is a character in the book who is a sister to Edward, we learn in the book that she was supposed to be his girlfriend but they didn't like each other. Also in the book she never speaks to Bella directly whereas in the movies she's actually given a lot of dialogue that originally comes from Alice. 
More on the family...
    We actually see in the book that Emmet and Jasper are fond of Bella, they both feel like she is apart of the family and that she makes Edward happy. Emmet even treats her like a younger sister towards the end of the book, caring for her and trying to help her when something bad happens. 
Even Jasper, who is a new ''vegetarian'' vampire, warms up quickly to her, he even picks up on the things she's feeling. For example.

In a hotel scene Bella is feeling like she isn't good enough and she isn't worth all of the fuss that is happening around them. Jasper actually comforts her on this and explains why he thinks she is and helps change her mood with his creepy vampire powers...but in the film we see him keeping an awkward distance and always staring at her...so the book is a fresh new look at his character.

The big fight at the end of the movie and book. Now if you've seen or read Twilight you'll know what I'm talking about here. But there is a big fight scene towards the end with another vampire. I won't get into details but a big deal for me was when Bella goes to see him.

In the movie she stupidly leaves the vampires after hearing her ''mum'' in trouble. She instantly runs away not thinking about anything and just goes to find her mum. However in the books, she's more hands on. The bad vampire actually tells her what's happening, and that she has to leave the Cullens behind...which she does and she does with great skill. Using a back exit in an airport she's in with Alice and Jasper.

Another big no no for me while reading the books was the venom scene. Bella is bitten by a vampire and has the poison which will change her running through her body. In the film we see a dragged out scene between Edward and, a very poorly acted, Bella. She's screaming out in agony as the venom goes through her but in the books she's actually dreaming, she thinks she's seeing an angel and doesn't feel the pain. Once she looks around the room noticing a fire in the corner she thinks that's the pain in her hand, yes I said hand, in the movies it's her wrist.

Edward doesn't struggle to stop as much in the book as he does in the movie, he said he found it hard but he knew he could stop because of how much he loved her.

Just a few more things, 
 Edward isn't creepy towards Bella in the books, he feels open with her and in fact makes a lot of jokes about her being in love with him even though he is a vampire.

Anyway long story short,

THE BOOK IS SO MUCH BETTER

Saying goodbye is hard, it's even harder when that goodbye has to come at an unexpected turn in the road. Last night, (16th Septemeber 2018) I had to say goodbye to not one more two of my little babies.

As some of you know I love my animals and I'm close with every pet I own, last night around 4 pm I went to feed my two pure black cats like I do every day when I found my youngest one (Angel) unable to move her back legs and blind. I quickly scoped her up into my arms and called my mum to help me, I'd seen this before a couple years ago with three of my other cats. Then 15 minutes later I went to call my other two in for dinner and only my black and white one appeared. I went out into the garden to find my second pure black on in the same state as Angel, I picked him up and carried him inside,

I spent an hour on the phone to different emergency vets that wouldn't let me come and see them because I don't get paid until the end of the month until finally, one let us come and see them.

Unforutently it was too late for our little furbaby Angel as she had passed away on the ride to the vets in my brother's arms. We raced to the hospital to try and help Salem only to be told he was just in as much pain as Angel who had been fitting a lot on the ride there. I had to make the decision to have him put down, which if you're any pet owner you know it's one of the hardest decisions to make. We all said our goodbyes and he was laid down to rest whilst in my mum's arms.

This procedure is costing me £263 in total which I have to pay in the next 30 days before a debt collector is called to my house. I was never told this part until after someone had seen me, I'm currently trying to find out if I can pay in monthly instalments as I do not work due to my anxiety

I'm putting this out here to warn other people about the dangers of putting out antifreeze or slug pellets. But this wasn't just a one-off occurrence this has happened many many times in my area and we've phoned the police to report the incident. Whoever it is finding sick joy in taking away other people's pets/ family members, I hope Karama finds you and bites you in the ass. I've never been able to understand how people can be so cruel to others, and other things around them.

But, R.I.P Angel and Salem you will forever be in my heart and I will never ever forget you. xoxo Leigh

I feel like I always talk about my anxiety and depression on here but it's my place to let it all out. I've been living with Agoraphobia for a few years now and I've decided to start writing about it, I never really knew what was wrong with me specifically until about three weeks ago.

If you don't know what Agoraphobia is the NHS describe it as ''A Fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult or that help wouldn't be available if things go wrong'' Though I see it that way I also see it another one.

The fear is so vague that it can be applied to anything or any situation, my Agoraphobia dictates where I go, what I do and it needs to be in control of every tiny little detail and I can't be independent. It has sucked the fun right out of my life, I can't do anything.

What started out as Scared of public speaking, speaking to people I didn't know and generalized social disorder worrying about things I didn't even need to worry about all of the time about everything soon turned into relentless stress in my brain and body. My brain had decided the safest place to be would be my own home.

I was and still am terrified to leave my own home, someday I find it hard to walk past my front door without wanting to have a panic attack on the floor. There are days when I can't answer the door to the post lady or to someone my mum was coming over as my brain makes up these ridiculous scenarios which I know are ridiculous but I can't stop my brain thinking it and my body going in a full panic attack.

Everything I used to do was getting further away from me like someone was pulling it on a string and I couldn't go towards it, I stopped going to college, I stopped meeting up with my friends and going out to the shops alone. I couldn't do it.

I found myself only comfortable with certain people or certain places, I would only leave the house with my mum, a friend or a family member, NEVER alone. My house was my safest place, my mum's car and the shop down the road with my mum with me. 
Wherever my mum went I went, unless it was to her workplace which I could not go to. 
My mum had become my babysitter, my chauffeur and I was completely reliable on her, I can't function without her.

Some of my agoraphobia demands are

- I can't go in big crowds
- I must avoid any shops that on a high street
-I can't go in large open spaces
-I can't be in small spaces
-I must take my mum/brother/friend everywhere I go or I can't go
-I can't do anything spontaneous everything has to be planned out and I have to have the specific time and date 
-I must plan every single detail
-I must not travel long distances alone
-I must not use public transport without earphones and stare out of the window
-I must not sit on the end of a row of seats
-I must not go above four floors on a building
-I must walk a certain way upstairs
-I can't leave my comfort zones for long periods of time
- I can't do something I've never done before
-Someone must be with me or going to meet me at all times
-Never answer the phone unless you know them

I know this all seems so silly to someone who doesn't understand this disorder but to me these make sense and it's how it controls me. I feel like I'm constantly living in a Simulated version of myself and someone is controlling me never letting me do anything, making me panic when sometimes I don't even need to. I hate being like this as it's starting to be strains on my relationships with not only my mum but with my friends. While they can go out whenever they want I find it hard to even leave my house.

Rant Over

He used to live with his mum until she passed away with alzheimiers, now its just him and the cat. I feel you, the world can feel a lonely place sometimes. The times my uncle has cried on my shoulders. This is a subject that really touched me because I've had to experience seeing my uncle go through the same thing...A massive thank you for sharing and hope you all the best my dear.

ORourkeDesigns › Thank you and yes people need to know about this. I have very very mild but I still get my panic attacks daily. Specially if someone knocks on my door. I only go out with my husband to walk in the streets to get my photos. Nature helps me calm down. All winter longer I went out only 8 times for a 10 minute walk. Never to malls ever I would die. People sadly don't want to talk about this some say it's all in our heads and to get over it! It's not that easy depression also comes in which makes a lot worse. Bless you dear and we can do it. Or at least try I live one sec at the time and I now try not to think about the next day or I will ho mad with fear of what it may bring. Hugs love and stay strong

The night of February 11th I decided I was going to dye my hair red. I took the dye I always use which is designed for bad hair like mine and set to work, I worked out that I needed to remove the clour I already had on which I did. That night when I was washing my hair I began to notice there was a lot of hair at the bottom of the bath tub, I thought this was strange because my hair has never come out like this before. I pulled the hair out thinking it wasn't probably just mine only to be horrified to see that it was in fact my hair that had clumped up in the water, I got out wrapping a towel around my hair and letting the water out. I didn't think much of my hair falling out because I just thought it would have been the dye. To my own horror though there was so much hair in the bottom of the bath I could have made a wig for an old man. I picked up the hair calmly and began going down to see my mum.
I sat in the kitchen having a huge panic attack whilst more hair began to fall down my back and onto my lap. I hadn't even touched my hair when we started to notice a bald patch starting to form at the front of my head. I was told not to touch it and go to bed t try and relax. 
I woke up the next morning to my pillow covered in my hair, I had two major bald patches starting to form as well as hair that just kept falling out without contact. I went to see my doctor who made me have bloods.

I have a thyroid gland condition. Nw if you don't know what the thyroid is don't worry neither did I, looking into it I started reading about what it was and what it actually does for my body. It's basically an organ that is in your neck that stores, realease and produces hormones t send out int your body. The two main hormones it produces are 
Triiodyrone (T3)
Thyroxtine (T4)

Too much T3 & T4 causes Anxiety, irritability and moodiness nervousness and hyperactivity, sweating and being sensitive to high temperatures, shakiness and hair loss

Too Little T3 & T4 causes trouble sleeping, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, dry skin and hair, depression, sensitive to cold temperatures, muscle and joint pain as well as a heavy menstrual cycle

Now I have both too little and too much which is impossible for my doctor to believe.
