The Amazing Spiderman 2 and An Emotional Wreck

Oh lord, I'm a teary mess.

I just watched The Amazing Spiderman 2 for the first time and, oh my god, I'm an emotional mess surrounded by a mass of tissues and tears. I actually don't know what to do with myself right now. Don't worry, I'm not going to give you any spoilers or tell you anything but, had I realised the things that happened in it, I wouldn't have chosen tonight to watch it. I would've probably put it off for, oh, I don't know, the rest of my life!

Once again, I have come to my little space here with no clue what to write about. All I know is I need to write about something if I'm going to stop the inevitable flood in my bedroom from the amount of tears that are leaking from my eyes.

I love my Marvel movies, as I'm sure you all know if you've read some of my other blog posts, but that one I was not expecting. Confession time: I've never actually fully watched or read any other Spiderman based thing until The Amazing Spiderman series came out, then I started watching them (not going to lie, it probably had a lot to do with Andrew Garfield... And even a little bit to do with Emma Stone - she is one amazing actress). Anyway, because of that, I had no idea about what happens in them. I've googled it now but I so wish I had done that before I started watching them, then I could have at least prepared myself a little and had more tissues and chocolate on standby!

I'm trying to decide between FRIENDS and Only Fools And Horses now as to which is going to cheer me up more so that I can actually get some sleep... I planned on a relatively early night tonight too - guess that's not happening.

Well, this has not quite turned out to be the rom-com movie night I had planned. I think I might start googling what happens in movies before I watch them now. I can't handle surprises like that. I feel like I need a lot of hugs; my flatmates are lucky they're asleep or I would have probably gone and asked them for hugs, I need them that much right now...

Night guys...

5 Things to Do When You're Sick

Hello!

I looked after Daisy on Sunday when she wasn't very well and it appears I now have her sickness bug - throwing up everywhere and all of that gross stuff (TMI, by the way...). Needless to say, my bed and I have been best friends today whilst the bathroom has just been interfering with our relationship.

I always struggle when I'm poorly because I hate feeling like I have no energy - something you know you're lacking when you don't even have the strength to turn the bath taps with your nimble toe skills, but you also can't be bothered to sit up and reach for them, so you just sit as the water gets colder and you look at it wishing you could just make it heat up by staring at it. Yep, you guessed right, this has happened to me today.

My lack of energy and inability to want to do anything means I always get bored and end up feeling sorry for myself, so here are 5 things to do when you're a poorly little thing (they might even help you feel a bit better!).

1.

Watch lots of movies!

Snuggle up in your duvet, either in bed or on your sofa, and watch tons of feel-good movies. Personally, I always end up watching Mary Poppins because I lurvvv her! If you're not sure what to watch though, then HERE is a list of feel-good movies that I wrote a little while ago - there's some good uns', even if I do say so myself!

2.

Hugs.

I'm soooo soppy when I'm ill, I just want constant hugs and baby-ing, so hugs are always a good thing when you're ill, they make you feel oodles better, too - you just have to find someone to hug who doesn't care that you're highly contagious...

3.

Go outside.

A funny one to think of doing if you're not well but don't go far - obviously, you have no energy, remember! - you don't want to spread your germs either. Just go sit in your garden if it's nice weather, fresh air can never be a bad thing. Unfortunately, this isn't something I've been able to do thanks to the tail-end of Mrs Hurricane Bertha that's hit England; I don't fancy sitting in a torrential down-pour, thunder and wild gales.

4.

Sleep... Lots.

Let's be honest, sleeping is never a bad thing but it's definitely not going to hurt when you're sick, sleep it all off, that's my advise for the day.

5.

Take a lovely, long, luxurious bath.

Any excuse to have a bath - add a nice, smelly bath bomb too, if you can - light a few candles and just lie there and relax!
