When my daughter was little she thought we were saying lit barn, when we were actually saying lip balm. Now it’s like an insider thing. We all call it lit barn. Same with ‘panda’ (thunder) storms. We often have our own little insider things we say or do with family...
My teenage daughter, Chloe is suffering from HWA today. It’s making her go to her Grandma’s Call friends Feel ‘sick’ Be unable to get up due to ‘the dog needing a cuddle’ It’s really taking up a LOT of her time. Do you know what’s causing it? Homework. HWA is Home...
Chloe, my teenager, was getting ready to post a gift to her friend in Sheffield yesterday. She wanted to make the wrapping feel special, so she dug out her old wax seal kit and put a lovely heart seal on it. I have to admit, it took it up a notch! One little thing...

Over the weekend I watched Mrs Harris Goes to Paris and I loved it for lots of reasons. But one bit stuck with me and I wanted to share it with you. In one scene, I think it was at Dior, they talk about Estee Lauder selling ‘jars of hope’. Not face cream or skin care....
