January has been a hell of a year

At a softplay on a rainy Sunday morning. The overflow car park is full. Keep me in your prayers 🙏

“I’m a bit under the weather”

Translation: I don't appear to have a pulse.

Finished my first book of 2025! Not a genre I normally go for but I couldn't put it down - figuratively as it was on my kindle 😅

I was using my old straighteners for 13 years and styling my hair was always a battle. I just used a brand new pair and damn, I have wasted so much time by not updating sooner 😭

Went into autopilot when I went for a quick shower and now I've got to restyle my hair 😑

Joyful, brilliant television. #Strictly

Perfect read for a dark and stormy December night, thanks for sharing!

I love how you've trimmed up! Looks like a proper Christmas 🎄

I've had a lot of "5 star major generals looking for love" type pages following me - sorry to all the lonely US service men out there but I assume they're scammers

Hopefully they're not allowed within 250 yards of schools

Christmas preparations are under way 🎅🎄We were up until the early hours waiting for the orange slices and cranberries for the garlands to dry out but I'm so pleased with how they turned out!

Christmas is under construction! 🎅🎄

There's no "trying out" the local family butcher. You go there once and then you're a regular until you move or die.

If you don't spin your toddler round tunelessly singing Defying Gravity, what is even the point? 🧹

Got an email from a company I've never heard of today saying "Please find attached details of the organisations remunerations". My nosiness ALMOST overrode my absolutely certainty the attachment was a virus

When the weather is this horrible, there's nothing better than a big Sunday lunch followed by an afternoon nap
