Do You Believe In Spirits?

Hi girls! I hope you all had a good weekend!

My weekend was kind of a mixed bag, as it was Robert's Nana's funeral on Saturday, which was obviously a sad occasion. She had been ill though so I guess everyone was prepared for it. She died a week ago today and the weirdest thing happened to Robert, which is why I am asking a question in the title.

Robert has got a brand new phone, only a couple of weeks old and he has got used to how to work it and what not. All was good with his phone. Until Monday morning, Robert had set his alarm on his phone for 6.30am as usual, but when it went off he put it on snooze for a while, as everybody does!! His alarm suddenly went off at 6.47am, so he tried to switch it off, no luck, the alarm kept on going, after trying to swipe the screen (it's a touch screen phone), he then ended up trying to switch the whole phone off and that still took a minute with the alarm still ringing all the way until the screen went black. Now obviously we were both thinking what on earth was up with it!! Any way we just went back for a little snooze and then Robert got up for work. Robert then phoned me about an hour later saying that his Nana had died.... and her death certificate said 6.47am. I think I was a little shocked to say the least, I mean no way could that be a coincidence!! I think his Nana must of been thinking of Robert as she died and then her spirit has passed through his phone to let him know that. What do you girls think? It is quite creepy right?

I do think that things like this happen all the time and people just don't realise it or realise that it actually means something. Like when I went onto work on Saturday after the funeral (yes I know I probably should not have been at work, but I didn't want to ask for the day off!) and on the shop floor, were these big pink glass diamond shaped paperweights, that I know Nana would have had bought one of them if she had seen it! She had so many of them all around her living room. It was really weird to see them in the shop I work in, as we have never sold paperweights like it before! I mean what are the chances that they just happen to be in the shop the day of Nana's funeral?! Oh and by the way I bought one of them and we are going to put it at her grave, just because!

Also, Robert's mum was at the hospital when Nana died and his mum could hear a banging, when she asked the nurses what it was they said they could not hear anything and then a couple of minutes later Nana died. Its weird I think that a spirit can touch us in such a way, but I completely think that it happens to many people, when they lose someone and even when they have been gone for a while they still can remind you. Such as when the clock in my room, just stopped randomly. I never realised it had stopped, but I am so sure it stopped on the 5th of February, which was exactly a year after my precious cat died. I was at work when she died and I think it was her trying to let me know what time it had happened. If you want to know what happened to my precious Jess then click here! The time on the clock, would actually correspond to what time my dad got home and then him getting to the vets with Jess. It would probably work out exactly at 5.09!

So has anything like this ever happened to you? I totally believe in the saying of "everything happens for a reason", because I think this kind of thing happens a lot, but people just don't ask  the question of why is my phone acting weird or why has my clock stopped. I know a lot of this kind of thing has happened to me, but I have just forgotten about it. Last Monday before any of this happened with Robert's Nana, Robert's mum had phoned his dad asking him to come and pick her up , because she had felt she had been in the hospital for too long. When he got there instead of going straight along the corridor to the lifts, he walked away down the wrong corridor (which was where Nana had been the last time she was in hospital). He then realised and walked back and went up the lift. When he got to the ward, Nana had just died. Now if he had went the correct way to the ward, Nana would have been on her own when she died, as Robert's mum and dad would have been walking out of the hospital by that time. It is just so obvious that this happened so that Nana would not have been on her own and she would still have her daughter beside her! 

It is just so strange, isn't it?! Although I really like that feeling of there is some greater power of spirits making things like his happen. Just so you know, I do not believe in God, so I do not think that this is happening because of that. I believe that when your loved ones leave you they look after you. I totally believe that Jess is looking after me, like my guardian angel. 

What do you girls think? Have you ever had any strange things happen to you and then you have realised exactly why it has happened?! Do you believe in spirits? I would love to hear your stories!

2. Your High School Self - duh

3. Your College Self - if you didn't go to college get creative

4. Your Right Now Self - a recent picture of yourself

5. Your Furry Friend - your real pet or what you'd die to have as a pet

6. Your Manly Friend - boyfriend/husband/gay bff/celeb crush

7. Where You Once Lived - a place you no longer live in

8. Where You Now Live - wherever your butt currently resides

9. What You Love - self explanatory

10. What You Miss - could be anything!

See Easy Peasy! Ok, here we go!

1. Teehee! I love this, I would have been around 2 and a half in this photo! I think I was a wee cutie! Don't you think?! The dress, was obviously how my mum dressed me, haha I don't know how big that underskirt was! Hehe!

2. Me in 6th year of school, which is the last year of high school for all you Americans! Hehe!

3. A photo taken while in University, not college! Hehe!

4. A recent photo of me taken before going to work at the shop last weekend! I have very minimal make up on here, basically under eye concealer, eye lid primer, eye brows pencilled in and lipstick!

5. Ok so it says Furry Friend, not friends, but oh well!! This is my babies, after giving each other a kiss or rather a clean! Hence why Alice has got her tongue stuck out and why Flo has got a look of content on her face! Hehe, super cute!

6. My lovely, amazing boyfriend of almost 4 years (!!!), Robert! I love this man the most unbelievable amount! He is my rock, my best friend and my soulmate! I'm so lucky to have a man like him! Please hurry up and put a ring on my finger, hehe! How about when we go to California!! Yay!

7. The house where I used to live, now when I lived here it didn't look exactly like this, the new owners put an extension put up into the roof. This is how it looked a couple of years ago! I lived in this little house up until I was 15! I absolutely loved living here! I never wanted to move at all, very good memories!

8. This is where I live now! It looks really small here actually, but it is for me a big house!! I didn't use to like living here, but I guess I have got used to it now! Hehe, and I cannot wait to move to my next house with Robert, hopefully soonish!

9. I really do hope its not bad to put a picture of my car here for a "what I love picture"! I do love Jenson A LOT! He is my very own car and he is just great! An amazing Ford Fiesta Zetec S, with a 1.6 engine, he is a fast little beast!

10. What I miss... Jess, I miss her. I will always miss her. She was my gorgeous little princess Jess! My perfect kitty, who I know is looking down on me wherever she is taking care of me!

Hope you girls enjoyed this post! You can still take part, as Erin is holding this link up until Monday!

Love, Jen x

Meet the Cats!!!

Hiya guys!

So I really wanted to do a post on my little babies!! My cats mean the absolute world to me and I love them to pieces! Just now I have two 1 year old sisters, but they are totally different to eachother in looks and personality!

Firstly though I just wanted to mention my absolute princess Jess, who I mentioned in my last post. I got her from the Cat Protection when she was 12 weeks old, which is a charity for cats! She died on the 5th of February 2011. She had a really rare form of anaemia, which made her so weak, and she died at the age of 7 which is really young for a cat. It was terrible because the vet didn't actually tell me that she could die, even though she really did look very very poorly. I spent so much money at the vets trying to get her better and I would have paid anything at all to get her better, but unfortuantely she lost the fight. It was horrible as well because the day she died I was at work, I will always remember the last time I saw her and she was just lying in her bed watching me go down the stairs and I remember saying to her to hang in there and I will see her soon and she just looked at me and gave me a wee quiet miaow and at the time I just thought awww wee pet, but the next day I thought about it and I knew that she was saying goodbye to me.

When I got home from work I saw her travel box in the hall, which is not normally there, so I knew that something was wrong. I ran into the living room and screamed "where is she?!" because I think i kind of knew already. My mum and dad told me that she had died. My dad had got home and Jess had been sick and done the toilet in her bed and miaowed at my dad and he knew that he needed to get her to the vet. He went to the emergency vet in the city centre and all the way there he could here her moving and breathing, but when he got to the vets I think she had just given up the fight. I was absolutely devasted, honestly that wee cat was my complete world and I couldn't have imagined her not being there anymore. Jess was always following me about, sleeping with me and she was just my baby!! I stayed awake that whole night, I didn't want to sleep, because then it would be the next day and it would kind of be more real as to what  had happened. She wasn't well for a couple of months so I guess that her time had come and she couldn't fight it any more. Here are some photos of her!

Ok so I just had to put pictures up of Jess because she will always be my little precious princess and I have her ashes on my desk and I will take her with me when I move out. It may seem strange, but I feel like I have to! I will move on now to the girls that I have now though! I got Flo and Alice about two months after Jess died and I had to get two because one would not have filled the space that Jess left!! 

So Alice is exactly like what her mum was like, she is a slender all black cat. She likes night time cuddles, loves catching flies and watching birds from the window and cackling at them!! Hehe if you have a cat you will know what I mean!! Flo is a chunky tabby and white cat! She adores her food, morning cuddles and sleeping in the sun! The cats don't go outside as yet because I'm moving out from my parents soon and I don't want them to be used to going out and then not being able to go out when I move!  I do however take them out on a lead!! You may think this is mad and but they do enjoy a walk around the garden sniffing around and they walk really well in their harnesses!!I will put some pictures below!

Cute wee kittens!!

On their leads :)

In their beds!!

Catching a fly!

So there you go! I would love to get another wee kitten! But I'm not sure if three is too much!? Hehe hope you liked my little babies!!

Love, Jen x
