Post roast food coma, which as I cooked single handedly, I’ve gone on clean up strike.
Not sure the kitchen will look any different any time soon though, they’re rubbish cleaner uppers and the teen looked at me as if I’d asked him to walk naked into school assembly tomorrow.
Whatever, Carey and I are enjoying a cuppa and maybe even a nana nap. Which would make 2 day time naps on the bounce, which hasn’t happened since 1976....
Wishing you a Sunday of fire side snoozes and full bellies 😎

This is not today. This is on the day of the @hm haul. Since then we’ve all watched the wonder that is @sjdooley showing us the cost of our threads.
I don’t think I’m terrible, I’ve got clothes I had at uni. I don’t get rid of even the cheaper clothes season on season, I re wear everything. But this was definitely an overbuy for me and I could absolutely do better and be more mindful with what I buy.
I was always going to send stuff back, but Stacey’s doc was a wake up call.
This dress has gone back, I just won’t get the wear from it, along with the jeans. I kept the W Morris collab blouse, which is polyester, not great but I’ll get a lot of wear from it, I kept the black cotton shirt, from their conscious range and the black silk mix dress, an investment piece.
Before all the ‘so why are you gramming this if it’s environmentally questionable and has gone back?’.
I genuinely don’t think this platform will make for a mad rush for this item and 2 the snap fits with my stories today 😎

@charliemackesy says it best
Because asking for help may be the most courageous thing you’ve ever done. You’re braver than you think.

#worldmentalhealthday2018 Courage. I think it’s worth posting again.

Today marks the beginning of baby loss awareness week.
16 years and 10 days ago, when my baby died, this pair came and rescued me.
Rufus, is now at the end of his life. He gave me purpose when I had none, woke me up when I didn’t want to, I owe him and my Mum so much.
If you are experiencing baby loss and are struggling to find your way. Consider reaching out to @tommys_thebabycharity have a look at @feathering_the_empty_nest who speaks so eloquently on baby loss, the @childbereavementuk are also a great source of knowledge and resources.
There is hope.
The darkness will lift
It won’t always feel like it does today.
❤️

Could you find a more grammable box of oranges?! I don’t think so!
But what if some of the oranges weren’t so shiny and neat? Would that be as ‘pretty’ Would that be ok? What if you weren’t even an orange??!!! What if you were a pineapple amongst the oranges?! I think countless humans feel like a pineapple in a box of oranges. A spikey, prickly pineapple and no matter how hard you try to fit, no matter how hard you want to blend in and be an orange, you’ll always be a pineapple!
We spend all our school aged years and often beyond, trying to fit in. We only want to stand out to be outstandingly good at something recognised. A craft, a subject, anything that has already been ‘okay’d’ by the masses.
Especially on here, neat squares, perfectly filtered, I want to look like her, like him, like that.
I am putting my enormously huge masculine hand up (they are mammoth btw!) and admitting I am guilty of that. Authenticity at the base, but I filter, I’ll pick the best snap out of 10.
But what if you permanently felt ‘wrong’? I’m currently questioning everything I’ve ever known and been taught. I’m spending A LOT!!! Of time with my spikey little girl right now and wondering if we the ‘neuro typicals’ really have it right at all...

This @hm @wmorrisandco collaboration blouse is a keeper I’ve just checked on line and it looks like is sold out annoyingly. The dress (see stories) is still available though.
So yes Nicole Kidman and I are apparently twins, so if anyone has a link to NK, however tenuous, send her my way. I’m sure she’ll leap at the chance! ‘Hi Nic, let’s meet, we share a face!’ 😎 #kidwood

So baby girl has gone to Granny’s for a a couple of days. We all just need a bit of a break from each other. I love my babes but 24/7, no thanks!
I think it’s safe to say, we’re better at looking after our mates than ourselves, so before I’m reunited with my curious little cat, I’m going to be diving into my fave b day gifts.
The @hm jammies were my gift to me!
The @stilacosmetics liquid eye shadow in kitten karma is the perfect amount of subtle sparkle
I would like to eat the @elemis pro collagen cleansing balm, it smells yum.
Last time I popped on a @spacemasks I was sparko in 60 seconds
The @illumensfragrance candle is the pear fragrance, it’s delicious
And the personalised wash bag from @willbeesbespoke is like the dream gift.
Over riding theme of yesterday’s DM’s was, if we looked after ourselves like we look out for our mates, we wouldn’t need our mates looking out for us so much! Still with me?! So I’ll be indulging in the above and not participating in dry October. Just a bridge to far for the future Mrs Bradley Cooper 😎

More @tuclothing ....I’m not sponsored or anything! Clothes are right next to the strawberries and rasps and we get through mountains!
So I popped on stories today for clarity, even though she’s at home and it’s a pain in the arse to my life and doing her no favours! I have childcare and how hands on their Dad is and that I know there are countless out there who solo parent with little to no help.
I’ve got some pretty incredible humans messaging me. No ones pretending to be a martyr here, there’s always those less fortunate, always. But I can only imagine solo parenting must be impossibly hard, throw additional needs in the mix... In answer to my question ‘does anyone tell you how phenomenal you are?’ The answer was, never.
Perhaps if you know a solo parenter, consider giving them a holler tonight. Tell them they are valued, amazing, that they are loved and that amongst all the chaos of your lives, you think of them 💚 May the bedtime force be with you all 👊😎

Casual.. 😎I spent 4 hours with my lovely mate today and it was marvellous. 4 hours on a Monday!
I ended up with all 3 kids at home (2 legitimately!) we piled into town and spent time with mates.
Achievement wise? Well I guess that depends on how you view the question. If it was based on e mails/blog/general house mess/sorting current schooling issue, then the answer to that would zero.
Yet I feel like today, was some of the best spent time I’ve had in weeks.
Pretty bloody grateful right now. Ps Fox shirt is @tuclothing This has been the general dm theme today 🦊😎 Pps hangovers take longer to lift when you’re 44 FYI!
