Making lists

Goodness me but I have lot on and a lot to do over the next couple of days or so, and as always rather than actually doing them I am procrastinating, drinking wine and writing a list of stuff to do. Collect parcel from Post Office Grocery shopping Do the above whilst somehow being in […]

Some thoughts on turning 40

This gallery contains 1 photo.

When I was young 40 was old, I mean really old. Proper grown up old. Not even parent old but grandparent old.  Over the hill, dried up and knackered.  Life began because your children were grown and you had your life back again. Now it’s not the same, at least I don’t think so. I […]

Fabulous at Forty

This gallery contains 2 photos.

I’ve had the best 40th birthday and associated celebratory days. I really have. DG has made it special but so have the boys, my dad, my family and friends and it’s just been well.. fabulous. I’ve had so many presents and loved each and every one, I’ve felt thoroughly spoilt, but then the list of […]

Having a break

I’m having a break from the carb free healthy eating regime. Not a long break.. less than a week in fact but a break nonetheless.  The reason being my 40th Birthday. Food and drink are an essential part of any celebration (in my opinion) and it is somewhat of a landmark birthday.  There will be […]

You’ve gotta larf

I like laughing and I love going to see live comedy.  So I set myself the challenge of seeing 6 live comedy performances during the 1001 days. I thought that this was a reasonable amount. Once every six months or so. After all I don’t get out much. Or rather I didn’t get out much […]

Smiley Smiley Smiley

I am smiling. I like smiling, It suits me to smile. I hate being in a grump. So luckily for me I am surrounded by things that make me smile. DG is making me smile because I know he has lots of nice things planned for my birthday next week. OK so I’ll be 40 […]

30 Day Photography Challenge

This gallery contains 2 photos.

Is done.. complete..over… fin. I quite enjoyed it. I might do something similar again but as mentioned before I would not do it as part of the photo-a-day as it gets in the way and is too restrictive for me. I’m no happy that some of the pictures were taken for the sake of taking […]

Feeling Autumnal

This gallery contains 1 photo.

It’s certainly Autumnal now, the Indian summer we experienced at the very beginning of the month is well and truly over.  It’s cold, wet, grey and I am actually enjoying it. OK I am not loving not being able to dry the clothes outside or to get out for walks but on the whole I […]

One month down

I’m not dieting, not exactly I am just limiting what I eat on certain days. I’ve looked closely at my diet and my eating habits, and that’s what they are sometimes – habits, and I am making changes. I feel more positive about food than I ever have. I don’t feel that I am limiting […]

Auditing my parenting skills

I may actually not be a bad mother. Shocking isn’t it? As I have blogged before I am a little bit addicted to Pinterest, it passes time and enables me to window shop when I have no money (which is often). It also provides inspiration for new projects and challenges. At the moment I am […]
