There's a blog game going on at the moment and before I go on further I want to say a big thank you to Katie Pybus for passing on this award to me. Katie's got a brilliant blog and I always love reading it and seeing what her she and her children have been up to.
The Rules
- Thank the person(s) who nominated you and link back up them.
- Tell Readers 7 things about yourself.
- Pass this award onto your favorite newly discovered bloggers and let them know.
Well here are the seven things about me:
- I never really knew what I wanted to be as a child; all I knew is that I wanted children.
- I have a scrabble addiction.
- I love to bake and would one day like to run my own cake shop/tea room.
- I hate balloons!
- I suffer with visual stress - I refuse to let it stop me doing things I love though, like writing this blog.
- My mum kicked me out at 17 - I have made a promise to myself to be a better mum than mine ever was to me (not difficult) and NEVER kick my children out. On the plus side it has made me an extremely independent person.
- I never seem to need my own space. I love being round people. I can do being on my own; I just have no preference.
And the 3 people I'm passing this award onto is...

Lisa, wow, what a sweet honor to receive! I love your list...and never knew your Mom kicked yo out at 17. I really can't thank you enough for this!!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Lisa I thought I had put a comment on this and it seems to have disappeared! Just wanted to say that I loved reading your 7 things. I too was kicked out at 16 by my mum, it was the 3rd time it had happened so I didn't go back again. It was hard, and its only now that our relationship has recovered really. I think that makes you parent in a very different way and I also think it changes you as a person, like you say it makes you much more independent. And I just really hope its not something my children will ever have to experience. I'd like to say it will NEVER happen but sadly, it just doesn't work that way. I think because I'm so aware of it, It will be different and to be honest it already is a million miles away from my own childhood and I'm very proud of that.
ReplyDeleteOn a different note....I love that you want to open a cake shop/tea room-I collect china and am thinking of setting up my open business doing vintage tea parties.

Unfortunately I can't see my mum and mines relationship restored anytime soon. Sometimes I think I will never see her again. She's not in the slightest bit interested in her grandchildren. But there we go. That's the way life goes sometimes. As you say, I think I'm also doing a better job of motherhood at the moment I hope I continue to be able to.
ReplyDeleteMaybe one day our businesses will come into being and we'll be able to work together at some point x
That's such a shame Lisa as she is missing out on so much! I have had long periods of not speaking to my mum too, she has lost over 3 years of her grandchildrens lives. I wasn't speaking to her when I had C or R and it's sad that she wasn't involved. It's very hard to explain to people if they have good relationships with their parents. I think ours will always be harder work than it should be but there you go.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to work with you on our business ventures-you just never know!
