Life Updates - June 2014

I have never done one of these posts before just because I never really blogged much on here and I didn't feel there was a need to blog on my life. So my life hasn't been that exciting but I have a few updates in which might be interesting to you and I just want to write a nice and informal blog post that I don't need to edit or look over. 

Anyway the first update is that I might be buying a place of my own...eek! This I think is the biggest update and the most exciting one for you and especially for me. I don't know for sure if I will be buying the house just because I don't know how much money I can borrow which can be the only thing which could turn this around. The house is my granddad's and I want to buy it just because it is a brilliant way to start on the property ladder and its a place of my own. I live with my parents, brother and a dog and I have the smallest room which is nice living with my parents but I need the extra space now that I'm older and I do want to be more independent and just get on the property ladder. I don't actually know what the place is worth just because my parents haven't got a valuation on the place yet but I might be able to lower the price just because its family owned and I wont have the estate agents fee to pay. I think it will be a good life experience moving on my own but then again its scary at the same time just because I will be on my own without my parents there. Anyway this might not even happen for many reasons but I really hope this works out and I can buy a house of my own.

The next update is that I am now 21!, I turned 21 in April and I didn't have anything special for my birthday apart from going to highclere castle for my birthday. I love highclere castle due to my love of Downton Abbey. It was a nice and sunny day and I drove to highclere with my mum and we spent the day looking around the house and just roaming around the grounds. If you love Downton Abbey then you will love highclere castle. Turning 21 is a big milestone for anyone, so turning 21 was a big deal for me. No one believes me that I am 21 just because I look younger than what I am which will be a big bonus for me when I'm a lot older. 

  I will hopefully be churning out blog posts a lot more now. I have been doing youtube for such a long time now and I want a different challenge. If you have a look at my blog, then you will see posts from a couple of years ago and they where not very consistent and just ended up being a few a year. But hopefully that will all change. I have changed my blog name from laurensmart1993' blog to Miss Lauren Jane. I wanted a name change since I have grown up a lot more and I think it sounds more professional. I have also changed the blog image to be more grown up and suit the name change. If everything goes ok, then I hope I will be blogging at least once a week. So you will me seeing a lot more posts from me from now on.

 My job is the same since I have been working now for the company for 1 year and 6 months. If you don't know me, my job title is Contracts Management and Health and Safety Admin for a national company. I love my job and I love the people I work with. Also my relationship status is now Single. I decided to break it off with my ex. It was an on and off relationship and I decided I wanted to find a better man and have a proper relationship that doesn't end up in a big row. 

I think that is it on updates on my life, I hope you enjoyed this post and I will update you on the house situation when I know more and If I can get a mortgage.Please let me know if you like these posts and if you would like to see more posts like this?
