Pressed In Time

18/03/2024

Over the weekend I went to an event (don't know if I mentioned it enough in the lead up 🤣) but it was AWESOME. A charity football match at Ware FC for Lillys Tiny Bestfriend Oakley.

We had a great time. Never have I followed football ⚽️ except when it was the World Cup and I was allowed to take the night off work (pre Lilly)... Well I was going to support a great cause along with seeing friends but I had so much fun and got involved in the match.

Lilly even said "Mum you know you can just clap you don't have to shout / cheer". After her embarrassment dulled she got involved too - so much so it was the longest time she hadn't been glued to her phone. WinWin I'd say.

Thanks so much to my dad Martin Goodwin for being Taxi and chief bag carrier, as an hour away we couldn't have made it otherwise. Shame Mum wasn't well enough to come. We had such a laugh. Always next time Helen Goodwin 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Last but not least it wouldn't have been possible without the amazing and inspiring Daryl Nicholls Tom Grant and family for their efforts arranging and helping to coordinate the Charity match. Along with Joanne Wakeling husband Simon and their Luxury smelling business Memory ScentsX . Was lovely to meet you, putting a face to your names and getting to thank you in person for everything you do to support OakieDokie 💖

1 year ago today I broke my knee. Snapped 2 ligaments and fractured my knee cap.

In that year I have gone from being in a splint, crutches, mobility scooter to get around, to an open brace and now no brace. Gone from cant walk unaided to now leg press 60KG.

Super proud of how far I have come. Doing my physio and regularly attending the gym. For once I've listen to my body. Slow and steady and I've got there.

Thanks Joshua Freeman for being my gym buddy. Keeping me consistent and motivated.

I've never had a savory waffle before. And I'm not very good with new food but this was a good gamble.

THE CHI CHI CHICKEN

A big waffle with 12 hour marinated buttermilk fried-chicken, Asian slaw, sriracha mayo and sesame seeds

"CHI CHI'S" https://www.chichis.co.uk.

Me and sister shared both savory and sweet waffles. So filling and tasty.

Staff were so friendly and welcoming.

Was great day visiting London. Thanks to my little sister treating me and daughter to Brunch.

Do you remember as a kid putting these buttercups under your friends chin to see if they liked butter. Or picking the petals "he loves me, he loves me not". Saw loads of these at the park today. Had to play around with the camera to take them. Simple pleasure.

Hmmm.... I'm a foodie. Love my food but stick to what I know usually.

This is a great incentive I've achieved. Free food, I'm able to try new foods from around the world as a Thankyou for helping people save money. If I don't like the new flavours nothing lost. But it's the small incentives and Thankyou along the way that make me focus on the bigger goals and achievements.

No time for breakfast, don't judge 😂. Today's been busy with training. Catch ups. My own appointments and then supported appointments with a new team member - the days not over yet. Still a call blast session. Zoom and 2 more supported appointments to go.

Mum guilt. Being a single mum and running a business it's sometimes hard to find a balance between building a business and taking time for myself and doing things together when I could be earning money. But there's times I will never get back. Like bedtimes, school pick ups. Etc. I'm lucky I can take my daughter to work with me but only sometimes is she OK with that. Sunday I said we would chill in the morning and do what she wants then in the afternoon we must work. But we was having such a great time at the park we chilled for the whole day. I overdone it walking to the park as its the longest I had walked since breaking my knee (Fractured knee cap and snapped ACL/MCL). The pain was worth it tho to see her so happy to have her Mummy playing and having quality time together / building memories.

I should be in a splint for another 5 weeks and then start the process for surgery with a 6 month estimated recovery. Instead ima work my arse off and build financial security during these coming week so can live comfortably during recovery.
