Although....Having said that, as nice as home cooked meals are, it has been nice to finally get out, just me and Mark, book a table and go out for a lovely meal in a restaurant.. M x
So Restful At Times [I Love the Ocean]We’ve all gone to the seaside a few weeks ago now. We headed out early as we had heard and seen the pics of severe lack of social distancing in places. We headed up to Yorkshire, on the coast, and found a little spot where our little bubble could...See More »
I Miss Them.It would be nice to get the whole world back to normal and that school trips would be on the agenda again. I enjoy the whole ‘looking at the world thru a child’s eyes’ thing. Give me perspective and helps me see other viewpoints. I had been to a...See More »
No problem really... [I Have An Alcohol Problem]I just take each and every day as my first day off it. I learned, early on, that I had to stay ‘on point’ - I instinctively found myself reaching for a friend’s glass one day and it made me have an irrational meltdown. So, stay on point. Stay...See More »
I'm Not Always At My Computer ScreenWhen the sun’s been out, i’ve been out! Simple.... Schoolwork with the kids, we try to do outdoors too... Music on.....bikini....soaking up the sun... When life gives you lemons....etc... M x
I'm Not Always At My Computer ScreenWe’ve had some fantastic weather recently, and again this week, and I love doing the home schooling with the kids, with books and pieces of, like, actual paper, outdoors..... It’s quiet, with the exception of the wonderful noise that the birds...See More »
I Like Doing My Hair, Makeup and Dressing UpEven though we’re all going through this lockdown crap - a necessity, sure, but crap all the same - I try to keep to my routine and really not letting myself go.... I shower....shave my legs....and other parts.....put on nice perfume....and nice...See More »
I Believe Family Is Very ImportantEspecially at this time..... I’m in my own little bubble, of course, with my hubby and kids.....and I worry about my dad, who maybe just 12 miles away or so but might just as well be on another planet! Thankfully, he and my grandmother are well......See More »
I Know My Husband Always Wants What Is Best For MeOf course, we do have disagreements from time to time....and I do acknowledge that he is the ‘sensible one’ in this relationship....but he still lets me loose. He always says that you can guide people as much as you want but nothing beats them...See More »
I'm Not Always At My Computer ScreenI spend a little time but I tend not to be on all the time... I try to instil this into my children too, stressing the importance of being social with others and spending time outdoors. With so much being digital these days I think it’s important t...See More »
I Love Eating Fresh FruitsGod, there’s so much variety! From regular fruit to more exotic ones. Can’t beat it. ....and fresh fruit is so damn tasty too! M x
I Love Family and Family GatheringsWe had a fantastic Christmas time all together - me, mum and our respective families....it was nice! Hubby did get drunk, which was a first, and our girls thought it was funny....which it was... Just nice to be so relaxed in each other’s...See More »
I Love Afternoon NapsI lead a crazily busy life, work nights, look after my kids....i’m a party animal too! Afternoon naps are my only way through life! Just a few hours....that’s all I need! M x
I Love School Field TripsDo it a few times a year. My only concession to ‘fitting in’ with others. Normally I do my own stuff, so it’s a little out of my comfort zone to help out and integrate like this... But it’s nice to experience the wonders of the world through a child...See More »
I Wonder If A Therapist Would Ever Figure Me OutMaybe.... They’ll figure out I have some abandonment issues, being separated from my mum when I was younger. I have some anger issues because of that too, which they’ll probably see....and the issue I have with respect... Or maybe they’ll miss all...See More »
I Respect My HusbandWhilst our ‘lifestyle’ is not quite as regular as everyone else’s, he’s always been very supportive of my work, which I value that respect enormously.... And, for that, I love him dearly and respect him. He’s a great guy. I bagged a fantastic...See More »
I Love ChristmasIt’s family time for us.... This year, we did the usual - me, my mum, my daughter and some co-workers - worked and went to Midnight Mass, then back at work.... Few drinks for family, not for me obviously, back home before heading to bed around...See More »
I Am Getting In ShapeVery important to me. The winter time, for me, is a time of too much darkness.....and, as I’ve got older, I struggle with S.A.D. disease....and that slight depression makes me more prone to overeat..... So....pushing myself to exercise and to keep...See More »
I Respect My HusbandHe’s great. Bit of an arse at times, but most men can be, can they not? He’s always there for the kids, planning ‘date nights’ for us, planning holidays and such. He’s the organiser of the family. He does a great job of being a husband to me and a...See More »
I Am a ParentParenthood is one of those clubs that people are free to join but some just don’t take the responsibility seriously or invest the time and effort into these young minds. I have 4 daughters, I take it very seriously. M x
I Tell My Children I Love Them Every Day....and that I am proud of them. Of course, I am only human and so are they, but in the main they are polite to others, manage any chores that they have to do around the house, manage any homework and support each other. They’re not perfect -...See More »
