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.

30 Days of me - Day 26

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.
