Indeed!

Sounds like you may have been a little bit hard on yourself sometimes. But exactly, it's difficult not to dwell at times isn't it, but like you say, best not to stay there ❤️

Phew. Long may that continue! 🤞🏼

Hmm, maybe it's the pasta and the mince then?

Ooh have fun! :)

Does it?! At slimming world, if cooked with low fat percent beef / Quorn and with cooking spray it's classed as a free food, which you can eat unlimited amounts of! 😳

🤗 we can only do our best with where we are at the time, but I do wish I'd not inflicted my ex into our lives and would love to go back and rectify that so Matthew wouldn't have to have experienced him :/ But I guess for better or worse, our past experiences make us who we are etc.

Haha! Right?! Hopefully you do more frequently remember to switch off the cooker than not! 😐

Don't you just want to hop in a time machine now and then to go back and give them a little squish one more time as teeny tinies ❤️ (thank you)

Tipsy mama 🤭

A black and white photo of a young woman (me), sitting down with her toddler son on her lap. She is looking directly at him and is gently holding his hand and as smiling happily at him. My son is also smiling and was probably being a very cheeky little chops ❤️

And with my baby boy, 25+ years ago 🥰 one of my favourite pics.

Oh that's adorable 🥰🐈‍⬛ Maggie isn't a lap cat, but she absolutely loves forehead booping. It's just the best thing :)

Selfie of a honey blonde haired teen girl, looking directly into the camera.

My first selfie, probably. From early 90s on my trusty old polaroid, so would be maybe 15/16.

What a sweet photo 💛

Oh look 😍 he looks like such a relaxed and content little kitty 😻

Haha, yours doesn't look *that* sleazy 🤭 I'm teasing, I thought yours was a lovely smiley photo :)

The joy of life on auto pilot! 😬 But are you me! 😆 I have to do that too. Well, not the dance yet, but that's a good idea! 💃🏼 I do unplug and move it away from the socket though. And with the doors I try and remember to say to myself at the time 'I HAVE locked the door' 😐

Fanks. I was with my little sis either for her 18th or 21st, so around 10 or so years ago, and was maybe a bit hazy tipsy haha (hence letting my guard down with a smile. I usually only manage a grimace if a camera (or anyone) comes near haha) 😆

I even check at night that my doors are locked on days I've not been out and they've not been opened 😐

I'd definitely worry more about the cooker if I had a gas one. That said I once had a counter top hob I used while waiting for a new cooker and I forgot to turn that off and managed to melt the edging off the cabinet door above it, so I probably should have more #cookeranxiety!

Definitely sounds odd and annoying.

Such a cosy boy 🥰🐈‍⬛

Honestly, acquiring all the fun accessories is a whole other hobby in itself, isn't it! :)

The days of crappy phone cameras not working so well in dingy pub lighting, so it sort of puts you in soft focus 😆 (🥰)

Haha, oh no! Also, it's me, but wondering if I definitely did lock the door 😳

A screenshot of a phone mock screen. There's a photograph of a cat, but its face is covered by a music player, featuring Paul Simon's face, lining up perfectly where my cat's face should be.

Put my cat on my lock screen. Did not expect something like this to happen.

Pretty little brown and orange tortoiseshell cat, sitting in the back garden looking as though she is deeply pondering something.

Stages of Margaret realising she definitely *did* leave the iron on before going out earlier 🐈‍⬛

I daren't have a nosey! 🤭

You, in another decade.

[And in a world where it was slightly easier to smile]

How can it be eerie, but calming at the same time?! :)
