ten things
10 things about your appearance: 1) I have freckles but wasn’t born with them. Too much desire for a tan in the eighties meant that I burnt badly several times. 2) I have 4 tattoos - my first wa...
Just me.
I’m sitting drinking a slightly plasticky tasting lemon & ginger tea. This is because we bought a new kettle yesterday and despite having boiled it and emptied it out the taste still lingers....
survey time.
Would you ever parachute out of a plane? I have done, several times. Thoroughly enjoyed it too 😁✈ What’s the most daring thing you’ve done? Hmm, daring comes in many shapes and sizes - you could ...
The Scream. (school questions added)
I would like to apologise for my scream last weekend; it was unprofessional and the kind of thing that pisses me off on Facebook but I needed to let it out somewhere other than directly at my dar...
reality check - the slightly too hot edition.
WHERE: in the bath, I haven’t put enough cold water in so I’m sweating a little - it kinda defeats the point of a bath! WEARING: bright orange nail varnish, a bracelet that Tally made for me, a b...
The Green Man Festival. highs and lows of camping in Wales.
General observations. The Freedom of kids was lovely. Allowing them to go and play around the site, to go to the portfolios alone. Seeing/hearing behaviour of other kids makes me proud of my own...
I forgot to mention...
…while swimming yesterday, I was aware that my swimming cosie is old and has given way a little in the bum area so I was keeping my bum under the water a lot. After we had been in the water for ...
food shopping
For the festival had cost over £100! And that doesn’t even cover all meals! We ate going for a whole week though… I’m going to take my running stuff… And I’m going to henna my hair before we go… ...
Reality check. The clothed edition....
WHERE: sitting on the sofa in the living room, the sofa that only eats small things but not the one that eats people because I’m a person who doesn’t like to be digested by DFS’s finest - and DFS...
fighting fit!
I had a fantabulous run this morning! My alarm went off mid dream, which isn’t usually a good thing; I stumbled to the bathroom and had to switch the light on! The first time this summer that it ...
Make up and runiversaries.
MAKE UP On Saturday the girls asked me if they could do my make up, I got all my slap (as my sister calls it) down from the bathroom, explained what it was all for, closed my eyes and let them ge...
Thirty Years.
While I’ve been running I’ve had various things shouted at me, the most bizarre was “You’ve lost your bike!” And the most common, “it’ll ruin your knees.” Well, I started running because I’m shit...
Turning a mountain into a molehill...
Our local group of churches run a summer holiday club each summer, just during one week. This summer my girls asked to go. We’re not a particularly religious family but believe that a lot of the...
Answers... Edit: I've added the necklace photo.
do you plan to ever take a trip to the USA? Food Master. Not in the near future, however I used to live in the USA, I was in Florida from the age of 23 to 25. I’ve also visited Georgia, South Car...
Ask me.
Another of my friends is doing an Ask Me Anything entry at the moment, so I thought I may do that too. So, go ahead, ask me anything.
30 questions.
List the credit cards in your wallet. I only have one, it’s a visa and to be used emergencies. I don’t do debt. How close to perfect was today? Well, it’s only just started but I’m in a bat...
In case you're wondering.
I went to work today and it was, mostly, good. I had a couple of moments when upright felt left of centre, but I even managed 50 minutes (of an hour) of standing on the field at lunchtime before ...
Put on your Geordie accent.
Day Four in the Sick Mummy House. Well, I’ve eaten porridge and toast! Go me!! I’m even contemplating a shower! Although I still feel dizzy when I stand for too long. But I need fresh air, and I...
Not so bizarre.
Edit two I farted! This makes me so happy! Edit one I have got fifteen minutes to decide whether I will well enough for school tomorrow. I’ve eaten an Apple, drunk some milk. I’ve got a gurggly t...
Bizarre feelings.
It’s very strange, I felt so weird today. Lila went to a party today at an indoor play area near here and I asked Talaia if she’d like to come along to play as well, although she wouldn’t be allo...
Facebook status.
This was one of my updates today. And a few minutes before Lila’s birthday garden party, the rain starts… And It is possible to add a few things which didn’t make it to Facebook. ten minutes befo...
Fake it till you make it...
You may, or may not (depending on whether you knew me last September or were paying an appropriate level of attention to my every word ;-) ) remember my mantra once I was working in a school. Y...
Reality check. The rushed version.
WHERE: I’m in the bath but I don’t have a massive amount time. I’ve also made the water a little on the cool side, accidentally, so I’m not sure how long I want to be in here! WEARING: I usually ...
