As you'd probably expect, most people I've spoken to have said that it's because they don't like the way they look in a photograph and that a … [Read more...]
My Autumn Bucket list….
I read a lovely post yesterday written by Michelle over at Mummy From the Heart and it got me thinking a little bit.One of the reasons I like the end of the school holidays is because it allows me to get some routine back into our lives and to take the time to do some of the things that I've been planning to do for ages but haven't got around to over the last few months as we've been too busy enjoying the Summer.Michelle's written herself an Autumn Bucket list to help her focus on what she wants to achieve in the next few months and I thought hers was so lovely that I wanted to do the … [Read more...]
Wavy hair in minutes….
When I was younger, all I wanted was to have curly hair and with the magic of my Mam's friend who did home perms, I got the curly hair I was so desperate for. Looking back, it doesn't look as cool as I thought it did at the time:Now fast forward 25 years and Miss Frugal is also a big fan of curly hair although not so much a home perm fan after seeing the photo of my disaster! Not that I'd let her have one anyway - there are much simpler ways to get curly hair these days!She often sleeps with plaits in her hair when she's washed it on a night which gives her wavy hair when she … [Read more...]
The post I wasn’t going to publish – Ten Years ago today….
Ten years ago, when I woke up on September the 4th 2004, I knew it wasn't going to be a great day.I had that feeling, you know the one you get when you know something bad is going to happen.Considering my big brother was very poorly in a local hospice, I suppose I didn't really need psychic powers to tell me it wasn't going to be a good day, did I? I knew what was coming because the day before I'd sneaked back into his room to say goodbye, even though he was unconscious.I told him my secret and left.So when the phone rang the next night, I stared at it instead of … [Read more...]
Beating the back to school blues….
After a Summer filled with adventures and family fun I hate the thought that it's over already although as I do every September, I welcome the return of some sort of routine in our lives.I don't know about your family but last year seemed as though the start of September brought with it a change in the kids, they went from being filled with energy and wanting to be outside as much as possible to just wanting to stay in and watch TV or play on the XBox when they got home from school. It wasn't just them though, a similar thing happened to me as well and looking back, I think I felt as … [Read more...]
