  • Ok I Like cuddles, laughing, seeing my kids happy, sunshine, the beach, chocolate, cooking, yankee candles, babies, movies, cupcakes, Vin Diesel, fast cars, freshly made beds, cherry pepsi max, Irish accents, genuine compliments, losing weight, flowers, lying in bed listing to the rain on the windows, shoes, chow mein, animals, rock music, curry

    I don't like bullies, being fat, nongenuine compliments, debts, people who think they are better than you, sales calls, meat, coffee, my kids being sad, being sick, the general idea that all people on benefits are lazy scum

    I'm sure there's lots more!!

    Oh, NL, this list thing really got me thinking - here's mine.

    Likes: the words: ‘f@ck’,’ t-w-u-n-t’, ‘articulate’ and ‘b@ll@ck’s, lemon loaf, how my DDs are growing up, Pinot Griogio, Bacardi and coke, the company of great girly friends, unexpected and disarming honesty, that spring is on its way, ‘light’ gardening (!), being able to diffuse bad work situations (and by equal measure light a fire under others depending on which I see fit to do (mwah ha ha)), being mature enough in years to have seen or been in most situations at some point, listening to great music from my early years and it taking me straight back there, dancing like a maniac, being right here, being able to help someone that needs it, trying on a piece of clothing in a shop, it fits and flatters and I can afford it (a rare conjunction), having a clean, tidy house (I seem to remember it happened once !), clean ironed sheets, beautiful crockery and glasses (does that make me mad ?!).
    Dislikes: arrogant people, fruit cake, lying self-serving politicians, worrying about money, catching middle-aged spread (whoever passed it on to me is NOT on my Xmas list), having arthritis and it making me housebound some days, DD1 having vile teenage ‘moments’, backstabbing bosses, having the workload of two people (when I’m supposed to work part-time), purple sprouting broccoli <yick>, losing things, not having enough girly friends, living in ‘Stepford’.


    Phew, that was a bit of an epic !

    How's your mum today ? And have you tried the yoga mat again ?
