I was single for almost 2 years. For the first year I didn’t date – at all. I was so done with men all I wanted to do was focus on my little girls, my friends and work. For a time I didn’t think I would ever want to date again. Then I did. I started dating, a big scary step after being with the same man since I was 16. Dating before then was a bag of chips in the park while you avoid eye contact. I went out on a few dinner or coffee dates even started seeing someone for…
The wild imaginations my daughters possess have always amazed me, they can come up with the most extravagant of games within minutes and keep themselves busy for hours having quite an adventure without even leaving the comfort of their bedrooms.

Yes we are talking bleach, ten long years of having bleach highlights. Ouch! In all fairness my hair hasn’t faired too badly, I have a great hair dresser she really knows how to look after my locks and with regular trims and the right treatments it’s okay. Lately it has been a different story. Last year you might remember me having a ‘grey phase‘. I loved my little change but…
With January feeling like the longest month of the whole year and February passing by in the blink of an eye I find myself taping away todayin shock that it is now the 1st of March! February as ever has been a busy one; last month I mentioned a nasty chest infection – well it turned out to be pneumonia.
