Silly little things take two

So, following on from my negative post the other day I figured I'd do a more positive post on the flip side.
Yes silly little things can kick start a downward spiral.... But the smallest comment or gesture can just as easily add a tiny happy spark to a bad day.
So often when I'm struggling visibly the people around me am what they can do. Which is a thoroughly reasonable question, it is painful to watch someone in pain and not know what you can do to help. Unfortunately the answer that trots off my tongue more often than not is 'nothing' (there's no point nothing will help I don't deserve anything....Yawn the depressed mind is terribly dull).
It's the wrong answer though. A better answer would be 'nothing special'. I don't expect people to wave a magic wand, and I don't want to turn my friends into therapists (I can't afford to pay them enough :p). The things that make all the difference are those 'silly little things'. The reminders that I'm loved, I matter, I'm real. A simple 'I hope you're okay' message, or a how are you from someone who actually wants to hear the answer. If you know someone with mental health issues the simplest and most powerful thing you can do is just check in.
That's not to day half the time I don't answer with a highly irritating 'im fine'... But that doesn't mean it haven't registered, just that talking is too much just then. Our maybe in just fine Haha. Don't be discouraged if you seem to be hitting brick walls all the time, every little helps (Oh dear lol).

I need to blog earlier in the day my brain turns to mush after dark. But my point, essentially, is that all the little things do matter and are appreciated....More than you probably realise. The best way you can help a friend is to... Be a friend basically, simple as that.

(Nails- I played with striping tape, colour club unnamed Blue topped with a blue textured 17 polish.... um I think? I'm bad at this Haha)

Quick and silly

I don't have a lot of any great import to say today tbh. So I figured I'd just share the fact that it's Roald Dahl day today. And I'm a geek so I painted Roald Dahl books on my nails. Well attempted to anyway, i'm certainly not claiming to be an artist lol. I loved Roald Dahl so much as a kid, read them all and still remember most. They're just fun Hehe. Him and Dr Zuess have a lot to answer for! Aaaaanyway did I say quick? In case it's not obvious from my amazing artwork ( :p) we have (from thumb to little finger) James and the giant peach, George's marvellous medicine, the enormous crocodile and the BFG's dream trumpet.
I confess the stories were chosen more for ease of imagery than because they are favourites.... besides I would struggle to pick favourites anyway. Yea I never grew up. Honorary mention to the twits though....I loved that one just couldn't draw it lol. 
Erm polishes? White is a Barbara Daly one, plus there's color club navy and peach, tarastalons sandcastles, barielle sailors delight, Green is simple pleasures I think and the teal-y bubbles are rimmel blue eyed girl. Plus models own nail art pen and loreal something out other for the pink nail on the magic finger.
Phew lol.
I like a bit of silliness.

And for my next trick...

So today was training day for the time to change event I posted about a few days ago. So off I toddled to Huntingdon..... Very proud I found my way all the way there and to the right building and everything without the satnav. Largely cos I've forgotten where I put it Haha. Anyway I met some lovely people and chatted about some interesting stuff..... Some of which I may touch on another time. However, since the drive took about two hours Thanks to the road works at Thetford (but Yay dual carriageway is coming :D) i'm kinda shattered. And I fail at coherent sentences at the best of times. So I'm afraid it's another list.... This time of things I want to try:
Like this Cath Kidston design by one nail to rule them all... She makes it sound so simple in her tutorial but I'm not convinced :p. Fun to try though.
Kettlercise I need to get motivated to use my gym membership. And there' s a lady keeps telling me how much fun this class is.
Homemade hummus.... For no or reason than in totally obsessed with the stuff right now lol.

I'm sure there were more but it's really too late for this thinking malarkey :p. Night.
Oh ps. Nails lol:
