A lifestyle blog
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
I am sorry that there is another Ranty Friday about drivers but, well, there you go. There is because there is something that I am raging about on a near daily basis at the moment. I do a 60 mile a day school run. Yep, 15 miles each way and at the moment that route includes three, yes three, sets of road works
If you take a look around you at all all the stuff in the shops for Christmas you would think that Jesus was born so we could stuff our faces with buy two for a tenner tubs of chocolates. When did massive packets of everything signify Christmas? Nothing says “Joy to the World” quite like a yard of Crunchie, does it?
Are you? I think I might be. Presents I have ordered have started to arrive and I starting my planning of Christmas food and goodies. The spare bed is now my Christmas store as presents get piled on to it and now food and goodies too. I discovered Lidl this week and we now have more gingerbread and Stollen than should be legal.
I am loving all sorts of things this month so this is another round up of all sorts that I want to tell you about as some of them will make ideal Christmas presents. Yes, you may now talk about Christmas within earshot of me since it is December.
I can hear you now “what is she on about now? Ranty Friday and fake likes? What?” What even is a “fake like”? Well let me tell you because this week on Ranty Friday I am both mildly ranty but actually really sad that social media has come to this. Below is a copy of an email I received this recently: My name’s Ben and I design apps
Father It has been a while since my last confession. Oh hang on a minute. Wrong script. Let’s start again Father Christmas, hello
ah morning morning morning. My busiest time of the day. The results of which normally exhaust me. The theme today for The Gallery is Morning and I expect there will be beautiful dawns, cheery baby smiles, pictures of toast but for me the picture above is what morning means to me. Keys for the 60, if I am lucky, but more like 90 minute school run. Tea because I can’t
There has been much debate today with some friends about how to make the perfect cuppa. Be it tea or coffee. Sparked by one friend saying “I hate making tea. I don’t really drink it so I can’t make it”. I have similar thoughts on coffee, I can’t make coffee and do you know what, I don’t care as I don’t drink it. And thankfully Mr B drinks it black
Following on from my post on Friday (what do you mean “what post?” It is here Ranty Friday. Go read it. I will wait for you to come back) where I had a full blown rant about a teacher’s attitude I thought I would follow it up with the exact opposite. Something that just by its very nature promotes positivity in body image. I am waffling. Let me rein it
