30 Days of me - Day 28

A photo of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?


Last year - little one has a whoppee cushion over his face. Here I am cackling with Ruth and Jeff. (me sat down). One big difference between last year and this.. I was pregnant here.








This year at the 5 party at Chipmuks. Older and not pregnant! Hurrah for age and little miss is here. What a lucky lady I am, I was going to moan about wrinkles, weight and old age. But no, I won't.

30 Days of me - Day 27

Why are you doing this challenge?

Well it sound like a challenge, for me a non-blogger. And I also thought it would be fun reading about everyone from the same point of view. I've slacked a bit (especially last week) did have a major excuse 5yo starting school and endless kids parties. I think maybe the time needed to do this challenge I underestimated, and I need to be more realistic with my workload and other commitments.

So nothing earth shattering from me. I haven't seen the light or had some major life changing event happen as a consequence. Nor I have discovered the inner writer in me. Still find it hard to be articulate in writing, I can speak proper but my writing and grammer are fairly appalling.

Hope it's not been too dull for you the reader. A million apologises if it hasn't met your expectations. Will do better next time, promise.

What do you think about your friends

Well I think they are an eclectic bunch, who some I have know for more than 30 years and some I've only just met! It's such a daft question this one, really isn't it! If I had anything negative or objective to say I wouldn't whine and moan about them on the internet would I?

I miss many of them, because I don't see them as often as I would like. Not just because some of them are overseas but we all seem to be so busy that spending time together is like planning world war 3!

I think, on the whole they are a lovely bunch of people who I choose to have in my life and I hope I can a good friends to them too. ;-)

30 Days of me - Day 25

What I would find in your bag?

Well I'm not taking a photo for two reasons,

a) my bag is a mess and b) it's an okay bag but don't want to be judged as it isn't a prada bag

Make up bag, hair brush, work pass, car keys, 4 green tea bags, a couple of pens, a nappy, a sick cloth (for baby not me!!) wet wipes, hand sanitizer, D & G sunglasses and huge daft case, an old mint and a USB!

Dear Mum,

Love, xx

30 Days of me - Day 23

Something you crave for a lot.

Okay time is short for me today, so it's a list in no particular order but every so often need them all :)

Chocolate, big cuddles from husband, kisses and smiles from my kids, the sun , watching TV, a nice bath, a soothing massage, wine, a good laugh, Walkers prawn cocktail crisps, ridiculous humour,some brisk exercise and travel.

Me and my little one sharing a kiss and a ice lolly!!

30 Days of me - Day 22

What makes you different from everyone else?

I really don't know!! I think you would have to ask my family, friends and husband. I am not exactly shy, but I can't really say I am different, special, unique etc. etc. Because after all, we are all human and our only difference is our personality and that is something I am no real expert on.

A clever lady on twitter had a guest blogger who wrote about her and I thought that was a great idea, but I've not asked anyone to do it because I would then have to reveal to them that I am doing this!!!! HAHAHA..

So I've just copied some lovely things a friend said on LinkedIn, I didn't ask her to and god knows why she did.

"Claire is one of the warmest, most enthusiastic individuals I have ever worked with. She combines character, commitment to make working with her enjoyable from start to finish. Claire has a need to do things well, lots of experience and a great instinct when it comes to people. Your work day is made better by any dealings with Claire."

Thank you Kimbo for your kind words. I cried when I read this, honest! I didn't ask her, I wasn't looking for a new job and haven't worked with her since 1996! But we are very good friends and I love her dearly. Now I know you might think, ahh that's a work thing it's not about you, but it is. End of.

30 Days of me - Day 21

A picture of something that makes you happy!

Well this is soooo easy, yet so hard! It's not one picture, but any picture of someone smiling (properly smiling not staged!) or laughing, always get me. Emotions are a funny old thing aren't they and even the most bizarre photo or clip on TV of someone smiling, laughing or big belly laughing always bring a smile to my face. As they say laughter is infectious and a great mood lifter. I did think about loading some of my favourite comedy clips, but I'd be here all day!

This photo makes me laugh, cos of the face of the chef, laughing at Nunnza's reaction, even though he must have done this a million times!!
