What I hope to achieve from this blog of mine.

There are so many blogs out there so why am I writing mine? And what am I hoping to achieve from it? 

I'm not expecting millions of subscribers or monetary rewards - I mainly want to put my opinions across with maybe the occasional rant at society or my life. 

But I like the idea of preserving my ideas/ opinions/ memories for prosperity. I've done a lot of diaries and journals over the years and I've always considered them historical documents in the making. (I said I loved history!) I like the idea of people in hundreds of years reading my ramblings and taking something from them. Blogs are the future. 

I also want to try and get across how difficult it can be in daily life living with hearing issues. I suffer from depression too so some elements of my battle will inevitable end up on these pages. But I just want to highlight that hearing problems can affect all ages - and how those problems can result in some humorous  embarrassing annoying problems. 

I will say sometimes my entries will be all over the place especially over the next few weeks as I attempt to tell you more detail about me and my life etc.... its also a massive learning curve for me so pictures and links will be added but I make no promises on how fantastic they will be. 

Some people may also not like my opinions - I can be open-minded and volatile on occasion. But all opinions are my own so any problems just contact me via the various options on my page.

My 1st blog - about me

The 1st post!! 

All about me; 

I am totally new to this blogging malarky - however after looking at other peoples blogs and how much support and fun they seem to have has encouraged me to start my own. 

I've called it muffled rants - mainly because my world is muffled. Let me explain - I need to wear hearing aids otherwise I can't hear words. I'm not 100% deaf and can lip read to a degree but telly is a no-go (unless its subtitled) and in general day to day life I can struggle - even with the aids in. 
I don't want to just write about my impediment though - there are lots of other things that make me stand out and make me.... well me!! 

I love tattoos and piercings and will try to add some photos of my collection as I extend my blog. I read a lot, I crochet, I adore entering competitions (which is why I came across so many amazing blogs!), I enjoy writing, learning about history. I cook and bake, I am a life long chocoholic and coffee-holic!

So that's what I like! 

But that's not all - I'm approaching my 30th year (27th January), I've been married for 8 years, I have 2 amazing children (11yr old boy & 8yr old girl) and a pretty fab stepson too (he is 17). Oh best not forget our dog too - we adore dogs in our house!
At the moment I am trying to look for work, obviously the job market isn't as big for me because I am limited. (Noisy environments and lots of telephone calls not an option!) But my hubby is off sick so is willing to take care of the household duties whilst I try to start my career - having had the kids young I put it all on hold. 

Thats enough for now I think - I do tend to ramble on when I write! However as I get the hang of this blogging I am sure I will fill people in more. I'm sure you are all very interested. ?!?! 

If there is anything you want to know - just leave a comment - any tips on doing this blog thing- leave a comment!! haha
