Hello and welcome to my blog. If you don’t know what a blog is you must be older than me or blonde (I’m allowed to say that as I’m blonde). Almost everybody I know now has a blog, my other half, my friends, my work collegues, even my kids want one.

I have decided to start mine to tell people what it’s like to live in my mad world. It’s very quiet this week because everybody is away and I’m home alone - for the first time in my entire life - I cannot believe the other people who share my life are so messy, I haven’t done housework this week because there isn’t any housework to do. I’ve decided, not that it’ll last for long though, that I’d like to become a man - not any kind of man mind you - I’d actually like to become my old man. I’ve been living his life this week, getting out of bed when I want, eating when I want, going out when I want. A major difference however is that I don’t have a me to bring me coffee, cook my food or pick up my dirty laundry off the floor and turn the leg of my sweatpants the right way around before they put it in the laundry and then hand it back all clean and smelling nice and the best part is men can pee standing up! Anywhere!

I work full time and have 3 kids, the eldest is at uni but spends as much time as she can at home eating her way through the food. I have a son aged 11 and a daughter aged almost 11 (no typo, really). I’m lucky that I work from home at our own business so I’m always around for the school run, trips and the phone calls to say ‘you’re son/daughter has had an accident and we’ve called the ambulance’. True, it’s happened more than once.

Anyway, I don’t want to bore anyone on my first post, I’ll try to post on a regular basis, unlike my friend Jude who hasn’t updated her blog since May.

If you’re still reading this far down God bless you. Catch you soon.
