Being Me Conference

Asalam Alaikum to everyone

today i was at the Being Me conference in London just for sisters and it was a  great day. I brought a new abaya, some nice bangles and I also purchased the Al Kauthar 2 day course.

The speakers were good and im sure inspired some sisters immensely.

Now im home and my younger son has decided to make doughtnuts and the house smells of burnt cooking lol, alhumdulillah he tried ;-)

Hubby and hijab

Well its been long enough that i have listened to my hubby about why i should not wear hijab, but its never anything concrete except youll find it hard to get a job, why now its a bit late etc. I have noticed than when i do wear hijab he cant look me straight in the face and it does upset me that i feel im compromising my beliefs and wants for his approval. I love my hubby dearly but feel i am not moving on in my islamic way of life as we have different mind sets. Inshallah i pray for him to say to me please wear the hijab, but i know this will never happen. I feel stuck in a rut and nowhere to turn, even my sons are asking him why and hubby wont even talk about it he just walks off or ignores us. Inshallah gonna take the hijab in ramadan and as its the holiest month, inshallah he will actually get used to seeing me everyday in it and want it as much as me and my sons.

Ok moan over :-) inshallah will write good news soon

Wow do i really hate uni

I thought uni was supposed to be a good time of studying and making friends. Well so far i hate the course and the class members are absolutely horrible, they really make you feel uncomfortable and look down on you.  the course content is nothing like i was told its all chemistry and lab work, if i wanted to be in a lab i would have studied a course that was lab orientated.  there is no way im going back for year 2 id go insane doing it for any longer than the next 6 weeks. Woohoo roll on half term, 3 weeks break and than two weeks after that i finish. Gonna have to find a job instead now monday to friday is good for me.

Well thats my rant over by for now

Shopping in uxbridge

Not sure how nestle caro tastes but i really need to cutxown on coffee, i have also brought some herbal tea that strawberry and vanilla my fav combos.

Also as their 1p sale i brought the expensive manuka honey and got second for 1p yay.

Quick update

Hi well have finally enrolled on my food and nutrition at LSBU and my first official day will be on wedensday. And on the uni blackboard assignments have already been handed out, and the first one is due next wednesday, the essay has to be handwritten and is only 300 words. There are around 10 questions to choose from so a good think will be needed. Will write about first day on Wednesday.

Well bye for now inshallah will get back to the blogging soon

University

Hi all well today was my uni induction day, there wont be a big class that's ok with me. My actual modules will be biomolecules, foodology, scientific skills and physiology and nutrition. Have no clue s ton what they involve in the way of study as yet cut will find out next week on wednesday. The other positive is that it's still a 10 am start.

The uni has also installed a new registration system son that when you enter a class you use your identity card to log in and at the end of the day sign out before you leave uni, this how they check you have are attending the cousre lectures etc.

Well that's me for now

Bye for now

Ramadan so far

Salam to all my friends and inshallah your ramadan is going well.

Monday started off so well for me, I had my suhorr (food before beginning fast) then i went to bed around 4am after clearing away the kitchen and making sure that everyone was fed well.

I then arose in the morning around 8am, and after my sons had their showers, i was able to have my shower and then afterwards i then sat down in my bedroom and was able to read the whole chapter of Al Baqara of the quaran.  I did not realise the time as after I had finished it was 3.45pm and so I then proceeded to go shopping for the bits and pieces that we needed and then went back to my room to rest and listen to the womens hour on MCR the radio station i allways listen to this time of the year, they have some good programmes on there especially the drivetime, although the presenters this year have changed the new brothers are still doing a good job of entertaining.

I must say though that since day one i have been suffering with very bad migraines again this year, i have managed to fast alhumdulillah, so reading has gone out of the window but now im inshallah getting back on my feet i can inshallah catch up with what i have missed out on.

well so im now going to post some photos inshallah over the next day or so, inshallah of the iftar table and maybe inshallah of us outside tonight if we still go to London as hopefully planned inshallah.

well inshallah will write soon and will also have good news about uni, as i have to do the online enrollment sometime this month and the face to face on sept 5th.
