I don't make them. They never get carried through. They're a waste if time. While catching up on twitter earlier today, someone (sorry, not sure who is it was) mentioned that instead of making new year resolutions, that you should create a life list instead - a list of all the things that you want to do before you die. Kind of like a bucket list, if you will. I ... Read More

What to do with the Christmas cards
Posted By Tina In special occasionsFor the past few years now, instead of just tossing the Christmas cards in the recycle bin or garbage bin, I turn them into gift tags for the following Christmas. I cut out matchbox size shapes or smaller, sometimes getting 2 or 3 out of each card. I punch a whole in the corner of the tag and TA- DA! They're ready to use for next year's gifts. Just ...

Why would ya?!
Posted By Tina In on my soapboxCommon sense! That is what is lacking in this world, seriously. "Why is Tina's husband holding a box of chocolates above his head?" I hear you ask. "I know that Tina has said that he's weird before but ........." The box of chocolates that we received from one of Madeline's best friends had the chocolate selection printed on the bottom of the box. Do you think that the ... Read More
Not so anonymous
Posted By Tina In family & relationshipsSeriously, do you REALLY think that if you post a confession on a public confession site, that you are not going to get found out?! I read TMC daily and I have come across confessions that I know for a fact are written by my step mother (and have kept a copy of each and every one). There was one particular confession whereby she tried to back track by first ... Read More
Enlisting in the army
Posted By Tina In family & relationshipsOur only son announced a little while ago that he wanted to join the army and get an apprenticeship. Because he is only (almost) 17, he needed our parental permission to apply. We both think it would do William a world of good to join. You know, the whole "good discipline", "toughen him up" etc etc etc. Bill signed the paperwork and when he passed it to me to ... Read More

Curiosity killed the cat
Posted By Tina In family & relationshipsIt's seems I've created some curiosity in regards to my passworded post. You will find that every so often I'll pop a passworded post in amongst regular posts. Usually it's a very private post that under no circumstances will the password be given out, so please don't be offended if you have asked and I have declined. Also, I've been subjected to dishonesty before whereby a certain person's daughter ... Read More
