It was amazing & it really lifted me & my mood! It's done me a world of good & I'm so glad I went! It was brilliant to see my family & so many of my friends &, if the truth be known, I really didn't want to come back to South Wales yesterday.
I've got so much to say about my trip but I'm soooo tired after nearly six days away, I'm finding it hard to string a sentence together! So I'll be filling you in on all the details over the weekend I think!
However, the main thing I do want to say this evening though, is that I made a huge decision late on Tuesday evening &, although it goes against everything I've been saying for a while, in my heart, I know I'm making the right decision.
I've decided - I'm going home to Liverpool as soon as I possibly can.
I'm almost certainly delaying my reconstructive surgery by relocating, but I don't care!
I want to go home as soon as possible & I've even gone so far as to contact letting agents in Liverpool today.
Being home around people that I love has just made my homesickness even worse than it was &, as much as I love South Wales, I no longer feel settled here, I need my family & friends around me & I can't wait to get back to my city for good.
I do feel sad about leaving Wales but I've got to do what's going to be for the best in the long run & the pull towards home has never been stronger than it is now. After recent events, I don't see any reason to delay the inevitable. I'll have so much more support there because quite simply, there are more people that I know there & more of my family!
Anyway, like I said, I'm dead beat but I thought that I'd better share my news cos even though I said it would put too much pressure on me, I honestly think that I need a fresh start & that this is the way forward - I'm actually really excited about it all!

| There's no place like home, there's no place like home....!! |
I'll be back soon! I've got loads to blog about, it was such a fantastic break away, there are so many people to mention & thank.....& I have stories about a 'Hello Kitty' party for a four year old 'princess' too!
Also!! Major excitement, I'm so delighted to say that, I met the lovely Annie of Curly Hair & False Eyelashes too while I was 'Oop North'!!
That deserves a post all of it's own actually; watch this space for that one!
Until next time then, just know that I feel happier than I've done in quite a while & I'm starting to smile again. I'm looking forward to the future & I'm looking forward to seeing all of my friends in Wales before I leave!
I can feel a night out coming on.....!!
See you soon, love Chez. xx
Isn't it great when you make a decision that just feels 'right'. Made a life changing decision myself 4 years ago and have not regretted it ONCE!

It'll be our loss and Liverpool's gain. You'll be missed, but it sounds like it's the best thing for you both. All the family around and a big city to cheer you up.
ReplyDeletePob Lwc!
Knew you would go sooner rather than later Cheryl its where you belong with family and friends i know you have loads of fantastic friends in south wales but once you went home i knew it wouldnt be long before you came to this decision.

ReplyDeleteBest descion you will ever make. I may have lived in London for more of my life but I came home 7 years ago and have never regretted it for one moment. You will of course be missed by all your friends here, but your are missed by those at home aswell. Just dont go back too soon, we have a night out to have fun in September to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteSee you Soon

Aww bless ya, you really do need to be where you feel you belong, and obviously for you that's amongst your loved ones. You'll probs miss South Wales more than you thought you would, once you get home, and I'm sure your friends there will miss you too (as evidenced above of course). :)
ReplyDeleteBest of luck chick, whatever you do, rest up & take care. Hugs, Gill xx
Brilliant, I feel excited for you. Change is a good thing and I,m sure great things will come from this xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's great to 'hear' you sounding so happy - hope all goes well as you prepare to return home.
ReplyDeleteI definately think that this is the best decision. When I spoke to you, you sounded happier than you have in a long time. I am really happy for you and Laiken. A fresh start surrounded by family and friends. I will miss you though, so it won't be long before you have a couple of visitors xxxx
