I finally caved and bought some of those curly plastic hair ties. Borrowed Middlest's bc I didn't have a bobble to hand and its so comfortable, no pulling at my scalp, and holds hair off my face Brilliant for anyone who gets sensory overload from ponytails Migraineurs may understand

Middlest has gone to school with a hole in her tights A huge hole School will obv think we're povos, and/or we don't care about her appearance Neither is true We just don't have the energy or the will to argue about it Teens have so much more tude than we had in the 80s And not in a good way

Sourdough adventures continue. Trying a discard loaf today with discard ive been storing in the fridge. Meant to be a <4hr loaf, no kneading/stretching but ill believe that when I see it Also Alex Hleb has a friend. Welbz. Growing him from discard stored in the fridge, just to see if I can

No VAR?

Pass to Noni there Bellingham!!

Not sure that's a pen in the epl but ill take it

Centre pulling your yarn is all fun and games til you get a yarn vomit, and you spend an hour untangling knots

Apparently in the 16th century Knitting Guilds were exclusively for men and women were not allowed to turn heels or graft toes of socks because it was deemed "too complicated " for them Well, I turned this heel all on my own with no input from Himself so boo sucks 16thC men!

Is Oli Giroud taking Placenta tablets or using voodoo or something, he still looks exactly the same.

#365positivedays 163 Fri When your work bezzie leaves you snacks to get through the night 😍

Is the ref on commission?

The camera angles are shocking to see what happened there but tbh that probably wouldn't have been a red in the epl

The Boy is playing Nirvana songs on his guitar 😭 Is this like me hijacking my dad's Queen albums?

#365positivedays day 162 Not achieved alot yoday But I did for some sewing, so there's that (Pls dont look at the stitches, my gramma tried to teach me to hang sew and I never got the hang of it. Its messy but it doesn't have to be perfect cos its mine!)

Have just seen a reel of Raya after the final and the way kepa was with him was everything 💔

Any legal minds there? Husband is facing redundancy. Not been paid this week. Rumour has it he will be told to work another 2 weeks without pay or have his contract cancelled and he won't be able to claim redundancy I know this is breach of contract but they say claim from govt Any advice? Ta

Middlest is doing her Dof E silver expedition today. Picked a really good few days... They are currently under tarps waiting for the rain to settle enough to continue the hike. Its a little bit wet in Buxton ...

From the Arsenal IG page Some of the comments 🤦‍♀️ From apparent Arsenal fans too It's time some people grew up THIS is why Pride is still needed Because there are people who think we lost the UCL because we are an inclusive club 🙄 JFC Love who you want to love That's it Peace out Happy Pride month ✌️🌈

I did think for a minute that she would leave, too but im so happy she is staying Cant wait to tell Himself as she's one of his faves

##365positivedays 161 wed Hard to count blessings just now. But spent a good hour with an audiobook ignoring the washing and that was fun

Today's procrastination is this Not done cross stitch for many years!

#365positivedays 160 Tues Biggest actually voluntarily spent time with me today for a few hours. Went for piercings, then little bimble around town. She's finally starting to get her sparkle back 12mth after leaving school. I'll always regret not taking her out sooner.

##365positivedays 159 mon Homemade butter pie, with pastry from scratch, sourdough loaf from scratch, 2 loads of washing on 4 hrs post-night sleep. Rocked it.

Today I'm such a mean mum cos I won't let Middlest go out on her bike in a thunderstorm 🙄

Himself got made redundant Which is shit in the year I'm meant to be retiring. Obviously the only answer is to go and get another piercing.

Middlest (14) has just come into the bathroom whilst I was having a shower to moan my music is too loud 😳 (INXS if you're interested, so it had to be loud, there's no other way)

##365positivedays 156 Fri Today I took the high road, and chose not to respond to someone who was essentially putting me down. I walked away and it felt good Today I remembered that you can choose who you allow to have an effect on your life

If you were a set of 3mm dpns, and you weren't in the case where you were supposed to be, where would you be. The window to cast on 2nd sock is very narrow This is an emergency.

Southgate’s whole point is wrong - he completely misunderstands equality. The problem is treating “boys” as all the same & “girls” as a separate group but all the same. Treat kids as individuals, recognise their individual differences & don’t restrict them by gender. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
