USEFUL ADVICE


Typing this VERY gingerly while recovering from a bad back - sitting down is a bit grim!

I forget now what started me on this page - except that it was to do with giving or receiving good advice.  So I wrote some ....
Paint background done with my new (from the £1 shop and meant for children) watercolour palette.  Stamps on top, then below cut outs from my stash.
I was sort of imagining my daughters reading this when they're older (am I kidding myself that they will treasure my journals?) and wrote for them, and also to remind myself of the wise things I know but don't always remember I know.

Lots more writing and doodling.  Done.  Back can't tolerate sitting down any more so off for a toddle about to ease things up a bit.  Never rains but it pours - getting over a tummy bug too.

Rosie i can relate to yur sense of humour, the girls eith yur journals lol. Id think awwww leaving them memorues of me to treasure, after a few journals u think, that happens in the films lol, my kids aint doing that lol. U forget yyr looking at it at the age they r now, when they r older with theirs own kids and had some life experience they will treasure them then, or am i just kidding myself lol. X
