Being okay with what you don’t do.

I haven’t written a blog in over a month - and I am totally okay with this!

I haven’t had a chance to clean my house in around 10 days - and I am totally okay with this.

My daughters went to school with clothes for their Christmas concert that hadn’t been ironed - and I am a little bothered by this.

I haven’t managed to send out all my Christmas cards - and I am totally okay with this.

If you come to my house at the moment you’ll find kids toys everywhere, the dog’s half chewed toy all over the floor, a carpet that needs a good vac, dishes that needs washing, a pile of laundry in every room, the messiest Christmas decorations you’ll find (one is half broken) and tree lights that really need new batteries.

Will it bother me that you’re seeing this? Possibly. It’ll nah me, I’ll mention it out of embarrassment.

Will you judge me on it? Doubtful!

I’m Laura, a mum of two absolute cracking little girls, the owner of a needy but adorable (almost) 9 year old dog, the owner of a business, a volunteer at the food bank and part time volunteer for my daughters Rainbows club - and I’m making hampers for some friends this Christmas and making my kids some knitted bits for under the tree on the 25th too.

My house isn’t pristine because I don’t have the inclination! I spend some afternoons watching Christmas films and eating mince pies and my evenings watching Christmas films and drinking fake Baileys and real port.

What does me NOT doing things say about me?

Nothing.

What things do you not do that you can be okay with? I’d bloody love to know!
