Love/Hate Blogger Challange

I'm so pleased I have been nominated for this by the lovely Clare at  Sons Sand And Sauvignon as I'm intrigued myself what I'll come up with..

The challenge is simple, to list 10 things you love and 10 you hate.

And it gives readers a chance to see a bit more behind the blogger at the other end of the screen.

So here we go!



10 things I love

My husband and beautiful girls 

Festivals

Eating a piece of chocolate followed quickly by a ready salted crisp. Yes. Seriously. 

The feeling and noise of turning a page over in a book when you have pressed down quite hard on your pen. It crinkles. 

Diaries and note books. 

My girls giving me hugs out of their own accord.

Writing.

Music and dancing. 

Custard. 


     Baths that are far too hot  


10 things I hate

Feeling sick.

Soap operas. 

Dust in my children's bedrooms.

People who don't say thank you.

Unvarnished toenails (just my own!) 

Me with short hair. 

Stew.

Rushing.

Having a list of unfinished tasks. 

      Sitting in a dark room with the TV on.





There you go. Slightly random maybe, but honest! It's quite good fun thinking of all the things that float your boat.

So now I nominate these wonderful peeps....

Large families. Lady in the line.

When I had two children, the lady in the line didn't bat an eye lid.  When I had two children people walked past me, I blended in nicely to what they deemed as socially acceptable.  I didn't cause a stir.  When I was pregnant with my third daughter, my youngest was only just perfecting her ability to put one foot in front of the other.  The looks started, the comments of 'how would I cope' followed, and the very endearing 'I just couldn't do it, I'd go insane'  Aaahh, cute, thank you for that helpful insight into your family planning. I just wanted to give those people a great big kiss, go sit and have a Costa with them, and hear all the concerns they have for me and my family.   And then after take my Tomme Tipee bottle warmer out of my hold-all sized change bag and smack them round the head with it.  Little darlings.  Hey, I'm a chatter, I'm a people person, I'll talk to you about my kids, I'm even one of those that will let you touch m

An open letter to Pinterest

We've had good times, great times, some of the best.  But here's the thing. I'm not quite sure how to say this, I need to break up with you.  Wow. This is tougher than I thought. Remember our Elsa themed party last summer?! You showed me how to erect a giant 'pin the carrot on Olaf' You held my hand whilst I wrote 237 stickers saying 'melted snow' on bottles of water... For a party of kids that couldn't read yet.  Good times.  You've been there for me Pinterest,  2am ,  4am , any hour of my sleepless nights, I could count on you to show me a wooden pallet bench that only took 5 steps to make.  It gave me a project, a focus. And we know I love one of those.  All I needed was pallets, a hammer, nails, circular saw, sander, varnish, and, well my husband to do it.. It was going to be immense.  I pinned it. I pinned you. I'd pin all of you, but I try to be selective, realistic, if you will.

Saving for your speed boat. A mother with a million business ideas.

I have started A LOT of at home businesses. Some great. Think, mother of four rivals Richard Branson (okay not quite) some plain awful, think, mother of four ends up with 40 wedding dresses stuck in her spare room. I'll explain that later. I won't lie, I'm a bit of 'Del Boy' open my coat, sell you watches in the school playground, type.  I'm forever seeking ideas for new ventures. I'm not the sort to buy into franchises or the like, but rather, sit on the sofa, an idea pops into my head and before I know it I've bought 500 umbrellas from China, and just figure I'll check out the weather forecast later.  In light of this, I thought to give a quick run through of some of my many 'I'm not working 9-5 for nobody' ideas.  So, some that may or may not inspire the Branson in you are: A vintage crockery hire company. This was successful and is still running! I thought best to start with a positive, knowing what's t
