An Actress Arrives

What a few days it has been! I'm not usually one to share random events in my life, but I've learned lessons from my adventures this week. Brace yourselves, this is a long one but I'll include pictures to break it up. So the plan was this. Myself, my two children, my mum and my three younger brothers (13, 11, 10) were going camping together while the hubby was away. I had an audition Friday morning and we were heading off to Scarborough straight afterwards. In preparation, my children were sleeping at my dads overnight on the Thursday night so I could pack, tidy the house and have childcare for my audition. I'd dropped them off and was home by 2pm. That morning I had received a phone call from my mother in law asking if we still had the pump for the airbed we had borrowed as my father in law couldn't find it in the bag. My intention was to look for it, and deliver it when the kids were settled at dads. I tore my house apart for and hour and a half searching for

I'm not too good at this weekly blog thing am I? I promise to try harder. So what's been going on in the world of Victoria Hudson. This is mostly going to be rambling by the way. Well my daughter hid my debit card for 5 days so that was fun. Saved me some money though. I've booked a camping trip with my mum, three brothers and my two kids. I've had a business meeting which was both exciting and terrifying at the same time (no I'm not giving details just yet). I've been happy and I've been low. I've been very low. I really have struggled at times and have found myself crying in the kitchen when my daughter spat juice all over my clean clothes. It was the last straw. I almost booked a flight and went abroad by myself until I realised that my name needs changing on my passport. I was leaving the kids with my husband, I wasn't going to just abandon them. Instead I talked to my husband and he has offered to send me to a Spa for a weekend when he gets

I hate bullying. In all it's forms. I hate prejudice. In all it's forms. There are enough shitty conflicts in the world and enough problems that need solving without idiots going around body shaming, mum shaming, you're too gay/religious/female/male/disabled and on and on and on. Worse than just saying it to each other, we spread it around the internet, we buy it in our media. Newspapers spreading racial hatred and 'beauty' magazines telling us we're not good enough. It's no wonder the world is full of insecure people with low opinions of themselves, who then lash out at someone else to make themselves feel superior. Just stop it! Bullying someone else to make yourself feel good just makes you a twat. Buying into pathetic stereotypes just makes you a twat. So what if that little girl wants to play with cars and that little boy wants to wear pink shoes. Where is the harm in that? There isn't any. So stop bitching at each other and go do somethin

I have Aphantasia. You probably haven't heard of it but I'm trying to spread the word. I doubt this will be the only mention of this on my blog but it is the first, obviously. So Aphantasia is the suggested name for a condition where an individual has no mind's eye. Basically when you see those sheep your counting at night, that's something I can't do. When you visualise a sunny beach, that's something I can't do. When you see your loved ones faces in your head, yep you guessed it, I can't do that. I first discovered I had this in quite an unusual way. I was sat on the sofa with my then fiance (no we didn't split up, he's now my husband) and he told me he had just read a really interesting article. We like to share geeky science knowledge. The conversation went roughly as follow. Tom: So apparently there are people who can't see images in their heads! Me: People can see things in their heads!! Like actual pictures. Tom: Yeeeah. You do

Hello! I am a very opinionated and determined Yorkshire actress. I have a lot of loves and a lot of hates and I expect that throughout the course of this blog you will see a lot of both. I am aiming for at least a weekly blog, though if I feel an urge to discuss something in particular, I will do so at will. I welcome comments and discussions but please be nice to each other, there is enough hatred in the world without using my blog as another tool to hate on people. So about me. For those of you who don't know me, I have two precocious toddlers and a husband who I adore. Recently acquired husband by the way, we got married on the 20th May 2017. I adore my children, which should be a given really, though they do occasionally drive me bat shit crazy. Should probably mention that I am from Yorkshire, so my language may be colourful at times. By at times I mean pretty often. I have a degree in Forensic Science and hate woo woo bull shit and anti vaxers. So if you're into tha
