Me walking downstairs: “Why does the washing machine sound like there are shoes or something in it?!”
Husband sitting there obviously listening to the noise of his AirPods thumping around in the washing machine: “Oh shiiiitttt…”
Woo hoo! @pahunt.bsky.social has been waiting all day for me to do Wordle as he knew it was my starting word! Need a new one now 😂

Well, 15 went there for dinner tonight the lucky sod, whilst we had to pretend that our Gousto fajitas were Masterchef worthy. Which obviously they really really were not.
15’s best mate’s sister is on the current series of Masterchef and I’m now wondering how I get invited round for dinner.
After being at the opening Oasis concert in Cardiff last month, we went to our final concert of the year last night…
Husband and I have concluded that there is no better soap character in the history of the world than this guy…
😂😂
Also, the ice cream van just came to our street, so really it’s a good day all round! 😂
Feeling a bit bloody proud of myself today as I have managed to complete my Level 6 Certificate in Careers Leadership in the last 6 months, in the face of 3 family bereavements including my mum, a very challenging year at work & living with ME. Go me! Next stop new job (a promotion) & more study!
I had microblading yesterday for the first time and whilst I totally trust the process, let’s just say I am very glad I’m not going to be seeing many people this week! 😂😂
After a couple of weeks of galavanting we’ve now returned to the real world. It’s been a rough few months losing father in law, husband’s Nana & my mum all in the space of 3 months so it’s been nice to disengage from every day life & spend quality time together. The cats were very pleased to see us!
Got home from Croatia Wednesday evening, did a shit ton of washing, said goodbye to the lads Thursday evening so they could head off on holiday with their dad, got on a plane to Lanzarote on Friday and were dangling our feet in our swim up pool of our adults only all inclusive hotel by the evening.
We’re re-watching Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip at the mo. It is such a shame it never got more than one season as it’s absolutely fantastic.
Croatia is utterly beautiful. Our apartment is right on the beach so I fell asleep to the sound of the waves last night, and then spent the afternoon swimming in the sea. Teenagers have also given it the seal of approval! 10/10 thoroughly recommend!
After a full on day yesterday for my mum’s funeral, a lovely celebration of her life but exhausting, I thought today the best way to recover was with a 5 hour interview process for a new job on 3 hours sleep. I was up at 3:50am wondering if I could do it. Well I did it & I smashed it & got the job!
To be fair, it would be very ‘her’!
And thank you. It was unexpected but not surprising, if that makes sense, and thankfully extremely peaceful.
My mum died recently & funeral is tomorrow in CofE church next to my childhood home. She was a practicing Catholic so we’ve arranged for the parish priest to give her the Last Rites in the chapel of rest at the funeral home today. 15yo has asked when the priest is “going to read Nana her rights”!
As someone who went through their teen years in the 90s it amuses me no end that my teenage (19 and 15 year old) children think I would be horrified by some of the things they/their friends get up to.
I feel so bad! 😬
A year ago (thanks Timehop) my usually well behaved 15yo persuaded his mate to climb into back of this already broken chair at school & I got called about it. Obv I supported school & he was in trouble but husband & I laughed privately imagining his mate in there going “yep, you’re right, I fit!”
It was the husband’s birthday yesterday and he deserves the best of everything always, it’s a privilege growing older with such an all round awesome person. Also I am quite pleased that I managed to capture some of his impressive athletic ability in this little collage.
Genuinely wish I could do it again.
Not to mention a brilliant little surprise appearance from boy(man?)band Five…
Continuing our series of nostalgic concerts this summer and there is nobody who gets a crowd going quite like Mr Robbie Williams…
Two years ago I quit my job with no job to go to deal with my health issues. I was depressed & struggling to see a time where work would be possible or have purpose. Now I’m in a job I love with the direction I needed & today that has resulted in my school being finalists for an award.
Not to mention my very lovely husband coming along and dancing along with me whilst I sang my heart out!
What a bloody fantastic show.
Twice this week I have dreamt I went out and forgot to put on underwear. Having googled this for a dream interpretation there are two completely opposing reasons suggested so that’s helpful.
There are many reasons I married @pahunt.bsky.social but this is a perfect example of one:
Me: I have a theme tune stuck in my brain, you’ll never guess it in a million years, it’s so random!
Paul: Fraggle Rock?!
Me: Whaaaaaat?! Yes!
In 10 years together we’ve never mentioned Fraggle Rock before!
