A few days ago I turned thirty five. It’s weird because I still don’t really *feel* like an adult yet I most definitely am one. I mean 35 is normally a whole new age bracket to tick on forms right? If I got pregnant now I’d be a ‘geriatric’ mum (no plans to though!) I also think I look my age now more than ever, I’m getting eye wrinkles and I definitely have a middle…
So this was originally the ‘October Blogging tag’ or something along those lines, so I’ve changed any mention of October to Autumn and am rebelling and posting this in November. I love reading things like this on other blogs as a great way to find out about the blogger, so if you’re new to Scrapbook Blog and don’t know much about me this post might help! There is an ‘about me‘ page here too, by…
If I won a substantial amount of money somehow these are the five small changes I would make… Every day I would wear new knickers, and if it was a sock-wearing sort of day new socks too. There is nothing quite like the feeling of pulling on new underwear! I appreciate this is fairly wasteful in the grand scheme of things so I would happily donate my (cleaned!!!) cast offs to be sent off to…
Is 18 goals too many? Yes, possibly. Probably in fact. So I am looking at these very much as potential aims, things to work towards, not things to stick to like a regime. I’m not going to be too hard on myself when I inevitably don’t succeed in a few of them, because that’s life right? Goals as a parent: 1. Stop saying “in a minute” to the kids. Either explain why they can’t have…
All I’ve seen these past weeks on social media is people getting upset about their kid starting school for the first time. Endless posts about new shoes, sports kits, dry runs of the journey to school and at first it made me worry that I’m not normal. I don’t feel at all sad about Athena starting school. Far from it! Not only will we get some semblance of a weekly routine back again after seven…
I quit my job. Today I handed in my notice to the company I have worked with for over 15 years, and it felt GOOD! I’m going to be blogging/freelancing for a living now and I couldn’t be happier! I was doing one management shift a week and then helping out on the odd shift when needed, to cover holidays or sickness at a hotel. I started with the company as a bar maid at 18…
A few weeks ago Sarah at Boo, Roo & Tigger too tagged me in the Bedtime post (here’s hers, she’s a cold side of the pillow seeker like me!) and sometimes I love to have a set list of Q’s to answer, it means I can write something fun without too much thought! So here goes…
I’ve been a ‘mother of two’ for just over a year now, and amazingly have managed to keep everyone alive, health(ish) and happy (mostly). I can’t say it’s been a breeze, because some days it’s been really bloody difficult. My top three sentences in the last year have been:
