Week 4: Tuesday

Another day.
After last night I wasn't sure I would feel so bright and cheerful today.
Another teenage tantrum over a confiscated mobile phone!
Wasn't life so much easier before mobile phones, home computers, X-boxes, laptops etc?
I could go on.
But then I would sound just like my mum about 30 years ago.
And If I need another reminder of sinking into middle age I need only look at my waistline.
Not that it is any miracle weight gain, just the combined effect of eating too much food, drinking too much red wine and moving far less than I used to.
I know what I need to do.
But where has my willpower gone?

I wore:
Boots - Clarks
Dress - Tesco
Shirt - M & Co
Belt - Zara

    I think it has nothing to do with age, but with manners, its just being courteous.

  5. You LOOK cheerful, sometimes that is half the battle. Our teen GD gives her parents fits but when she visits us she's an angel. Figures doesn't it? Early on we established out house as a cell free zone.
