2. 30 day ab challenge - currently day 2.
3. Handmade Moments (a band).
4. Death in Paradise - I’m re watching the first three series while I wait for the next one.
5. Budgeting… We’re not overly flush at the moment!

5 things on my to-do list
1. Wash the bed sheets - this is imminent but clothes do seem to pile up and often have to take precedence!
2. Make some transitional aids for eldest, to help her to think about what will happen during transitions.
3. Learn flamenco guitar - this is the sort of long term plan like my dad learning lute in his seventies!
4. Get the telly mended - someone’s coming to look at the aerial on Thursday.
5.Make the best cheese sauce in the world (this one is imminent, like in five minutes imminent).

5 things people may or may not know about me. (This is the toughest as I’m way too gobby to have secrets!)
1. I’ve hardly seen any Disney princess movies despite having daughters because I’ve refused to bring them up with traditional ‘girl’ roles. And they both enjoy things irrelevant of their girl or boy labels.
2. I count when I’m stressed or bored. I may count patterns in the wallpaper or dvds in a rack. I will never remember the number though, as that isn’t the important part.
3. I’m currently hand sewing a hexagon based quilt. It’s my second attempt, my first was in the 90’s and I didn’t finish. This one is much funkier!
4. I can still get a teensy bit of milk from my boob despite it being over five and a half years since I breastfed.
5. I tasted that milk last week, out of interest, but I can’t remember how it used to taste so I have no idea if it’s changed!
