So random to have 2 girlie events in one weekend. Was such fun. It’s nice to have people in your life that you can go out with isn’t it? Otherwise we would all stay home and be glued to Celebrity Big Brother all the time.

I was quite happily staying in my jarmies until an old colleague got in touch via IG DM to ask what I was up to Saturday night. Really nice touch. It could have gone unread until the Sunday but didn’t. I replied and off we went to Herne Bay and I was sooooo good I had 2 cocktails and drove home. One each in 2 different bars.

This meant that I was fresh as a daisy for the planned 2nd event of the weekend with lovely Jill for her early birthday breakfast. When I watched Sunday Brunch and Simon Rimmer said that his favourite night out was LUNCH – it made me think of this.

Next weekend I have what I had thought was a dinner planned with ex colleagues but now they have decided to downplay it to a coffee….. too close to payday. It will be lunchtime – I may or may not have a coffee…..but it will be a nice early night nonetheless.

Working from home is going well – so far so good. But also I have MORE freelance work to keep me busy so I might not even have time to catch up with Celebrity Big Brother. Who will win? Louie? Fern? Zeze? David?

Laters……

How do you like to spend your weekends? With friends / lovers? Or alone. With family? Your children? Your parents? Siblings?

I know that I love all of the above. This weekend I have mainly been alone but with a smattering of my children added. I did go to Zen on the Sea in Margate for a massage which was amazing. I have previously been elsewhere for massages and this one was £20 more expensive but I think maybe that extra money is paying for the things I missed at the cheaper one.

Feeling very accomplished – have completed some freelance work and am awaiting another project to start tomorrow. In the meantime my first week at the new job is done and dusted. What a whirlwind. So many people’s names to remember. So many different aspects of the job which could go wrong or are reliant on other parts of the jigsaw to work rightly with it. I do think that it will be a worthwhile job in the end and I can progress too. The money will increase and I will have to work less hard as time goes by.

I am going out to the Turner this afternoon but the weather is DREADFUL. What is it like where you are? I’m not sure how I will travel because I would like to have a drink but not too much. Did not sleep well due to awful stormy weather wind and rain. I need my sleep or I will be grouch of all grouches.

Let’s see what happens. 

I’m an inbetweener at the minute – not a member of staff anywhere. So I decided to concentrate on my freelance stuff again. It was such a roaring success last time. But I fear that I won’t have so much success if I’m just ironic and sarcastic the whole time. So I will attempt to be real and vulnerable also. Just in case there is anyone out there in the world reading this.

How are you? Has anyone asked you that lately? And really meant it? I’m not so good. A really bad laryngitis is hanging around and I long to feel better. It’s a post pandemic world which could also be pre pandemic of course but I have been sick once a month out of the 2 months of this year so far. Immune system is low. After a tough year. Only at the end of 2023 did I realise that everyone else also had a tough year.

2024 is definitely going to be more exciting. I have a new job to start soon and with that will bring a lot of learning – which is one of my top skills 🙂 thank goodness. There will be a lot to learn. And I love to learn.

My 2 sons are killing me. I mean really killing me. They have been sick so many times now and we are just giving it to each other all the time going around and around like on a merry go round of sickness. Passing the sick ball to each other all the time. God help me.

I have a plan to be better in 2 days time because I have a random plan to go to France for the day. Dover to Calais on the boat and I hope that the weather isn’t too bad. Where will I eat? Determined to have a long lazy lunch somewhere delicious and very French. 

The other plan I have is to potentially bring my haircut forward from 15th to 9th. Watch this space…….

And see my friend Jill. My lovely friend who has also not had the best of times this last year or so. We will go somewhere lovely on Friday night and I will report back.

Is a blog like a diary? 

I am done with men for the time being. All the men I am meeting can be friends with me and that is all I am willing to offer now. The last one was such a liar and I fell for it all hook line and sinker. Can you believe that his ex wife contacted me via IG and FB to let me know that she was still sleeping with him regularly? She could even be reading this right now and feeling delighted with herself that she has screwed things up for him. But perhaps she isn’t. 

In other news I am going to make the most of this year and all that it brings. Inviting all the abundance and amazing opportunities that come my way into my life with open arms.
