It's been over a month since I last posted.....there is a reason for that...

2012 had to be one of the most emotional and mentally draining years of my life...

We found out all about our specific infertility issues, that we cannot get funding and need to raise the money ourselves, we held a fundraising day which was a massive challenge and I lost my job!

Smiley pictures!
 We didn't have many of these last year!

So I promised myself that after our fundraiser in December, it would be time for a rest, time for a break from 'thinking' every single day about how on earth we could raise the money we need and to concentrate on getting myself better and in a better place so I would be strong enough to continue with our fundraising.
As part of our fresh start we are moving house, we haven't told many people about our move as we didn't want to tempt fate but all seems to be going well and January has seen us busy with decorating and interior design!

Ready for painting!!

It has made such a massive difference to how I am feeling, I am burning calories and finally on track to losing the 3 stone I have put on over the last year...I have a reason to get out of my bed each morning and my body is actually agreeing with me for once and my mind is occupied with something other than babies and raising money which is exactly what I need!
So, once we are moved I am on the lookout for a new job, perhaps just part time to begin with and then we can look at fundraising ideas again.

In the meantime we are still getting so much support and so many messages from people. I have also spoken to a few people that are in a similar situation to us, giving them advice on how they can perhaps raise the funds they need, I feel great being able to help other people too.

Also spoken to a lovely lady at Sutton Sanctuary (find them on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/sutton.sanctuary), they offer a relaxation cd for people undergoing infertility and fertility treatment. They retail at £6.50 and they have offered us a percentage of their sales for each sale they make...

So if it would be something you would be interested in please follow this link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130841948521?ssPageName=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 or contact them on Facebook and mention 'Paula & Pete's Fundraising' ..... this is such a kind and lovely idea and we are so touched by their support so a massive thank you to them :)

  I aren't saying I don't think about everything, probably every day, but I aren't letting it take over my life, I can't and I won't...my main priority is me and my wonderful husband.....

I will leave it here for now...thank you for reading xx
