A lifestyle blog
is today!! Today is the day that all their plans for 2014 are revealed. And I just wanted to give you, my lovely readers, a heads up on some of things on their website: Sport Relief There is much excitement and chatter about an episode of Only Fools and Horses being shown soon as it features DAVID BECKHAM *runs round with pants on head*. The “Lovely David” as the gorgeous
Everyone knows about the FA Cup. Don’t they? It’s one of those iconic things that you recognise whenever you see it. Children dream of their team winning it. Players dream of lifting it. And whilst they all dream about it and think about it, it is always just out of reach.
To date I have not had to blog about the same rant twice on Ranty Friday. I blog, I get it out of my system and I calm down again. Or whatever it was I was ranting about get resolved and that is the end of that. Not this week though The reason I spotted the gift cards in B&Q that made me rant last week was because we
I look out of the living room window at this time of year and vow that we will get our garden sorted this year. There is nothing really wrong with it, it just needs a bit of tlc. And at this time of year it looks even more neglected than usual. The grass is too long, there are leaves from the trees on the grass, there are weeds, it just
This time last year I was knee deep in #SecretThing. My immediate family knew that I was off to Ghana with Comic Relief with Annie and Penny, but nobody else. The suspense was killing me and as Sport Relief and the Great British Bake Off aired I got incredibly emotional. We watched as Lorraine Pascal went to the Virtuous Women’s Bakery knowing that a fortnight we would be there too.
Ranty Friday is back baby. Not with a bang but more with a grrrrrrr. It didn’t feel right that my first post of the year would be a Ranty Friday so I skipped last week. And to be honest I didn’t have anything in mind until we went to B&Q at the weekend. C had hardly got her car off the drive en route to her new flat before
I don’t know about you but I need routine. It was with a massive sigh of relief that I greeted yesterday and felt myself visibly relax. Not that I realised how tense I really was. You see, I am a creature of habit, I like routine. It makes me feel grounded and safe and a lack of it makes me edgy. So when youngest teen went back to school, middle
Such a simple thing this, but they say it is the simple things that are the most effective. Much like myself: simple yet effective. I can’t remember where I first saw the idea of a happiness jar, probably on Pinterest when I tried to start using it again over Christmas (that and Google+). The idea is this, you take a jar, and everyday you put a scrap of paper in
Life is too short to dust a smelly candle I actually read a story once, or heard it on the radio, I don’t remember which, about a lady who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and she resolved to start living her life to the full. She didn’t want to focus on the negatives, she wanted to concentrate on the positives during the time she had left. The
I uploaded a picture to Instagram on Tuesday night with that #. And something along the lines of “there are just no words”. I had been to see C and D in their new flat and deliver their new microwave to them (along with a week’s worth of microwave dinners from M&S. They might have moved out but it doesn’t mean I have to stop worrying about them).
I didn’t think I was going to be able to take part in the Gallery this week as the theme was Christmas Tree and we weren’t going to have one. We aren’t here on Christmas Day so I was all “what’s the point” / “there will be no presents under it” / “if we have a real one it will just drop needles and make a mess and if we
It’s all change at Barrow Towers today. And I don’t mean moving the sofa out of the way so we can get the Christmas tree in. Or buying new plates to host family on Christmas day. Or indeed redecorating a bedroom even. No I mean proper change. New beginnings resulting in a real change in our family dynamic. Today is the day that my gorgeous eldest daughter, the beautiful Miss
