Staring at my timber window frames the other day – I was doing the very boring job of painting them – I started to wonder about my ex. We’d been split up for six months and the break-up had been horrible, but still, there I was pretending that wood was really interesting. That I didn’t still love and miss my ex. Did it work? Not in the slightest. And that’s maybe because I forgave too quickly at the beginning. I was still latching onto that hope and had never really gotten angry about him like many people said I should have done.
Still, if there’s one thing wooden window frames are good for it’s giving splinters. Sure enough, a big one through the thumb got my hand throbbing and me thinking about blood and pain instead.
When it comes to finding a date, there have never been more possibilities and ways to make it happen. No matter what walk of life you come from, it’s easy to meet people…unless you have issues with confidence for example. And if that’s the case then the idea of going on a blind-date might feel about as possible to you as taking a casual trip to the Moon…
But, here’s the thing – and this links in with a post that you can read by clicking HERE – anyone, with a bit of luck can make themselves more attractive. It really doesn’t matter what figure you have, or how much hair you have, or whether or not you’re happy with your chest: everyone can make steps to improve on what they have got. These come in very handy when meeting a total stranger for the first time:
There are also countless resources – such as on Youtube – which can point you in the right direction…
The last thing you need when you have just turned thirty and in the middle of a mid life crisis is the hassle and trouble of trying to claim Ski compensation! Not so long ago a group of me and the girlies decided that we would take a relaxing and fun skiing holiday to the French Alps. Take in the scenery, meet the man of our dreams and kick back and relax….
I read a frightening article the other day on what is happening to the NHS in the UK. Of course I’d heard something about some changes the government were thinking of introducing to the organisation, but I until last week I had no idea what the changes might mean for our hospitals and GPs. I know we have to save money considering the Labour government went on a thirteen year spending spree and didn’t think ahead about what might happen, but the NHS is a service that this country cannot afford to lose.
There has been an increase in the number of social care jobs being advertised online so I cannot understand why the government is saying that the NHS must save more money. Now I know the Conservatives stated that they would ring fence the NHS before the election last year, but I don’t think they truly had any idea on how empty the public purse was beforehand. Neither did the Liberals and both parties never expected to be working together in government too. How funny times can be. Yet I have taken the trouble to study exactly what these proposed changes to the NHS will mean.
For a start it seems that private companies are being invited to tender for some services that the NHS would ordinarily provide. Does anyone else see us heading towards the kind of healthcare system the US has? On the other hand there is a lot of back office administrative staff that I believe could be done away with. Whilst that sounds harsh and cruel to the people currently working those jobs, the question has to be asked on how essential their positions are to the running of the hospitals and trusts they work for. The Labour government spent thirteen years increasing public sector jobs with little or no regard as to whether those roles were actually required. Unemployment may have been low, but public spending was huge. Whichever government had won last year would have had to make cuts to the budget. It was just unfortunate that the NHS has been targeted to make savings.
Care jobs seem to be more widely available now when surfing the internet. To me that isn’t all that surprising considering the rise in patient numbers and the lack of staff on hand to deal with them. Also as our population is living longer these types of jobs are going to increase even more. Whether the government will continue to fund those jobs remains to be seen considering the austerity measures already in place.
Private companies may have to pick up some of the slack and properly controlled I can see how this would be possible. The only concern I have is when I look at the state of the railways up and down the country. With so many different operators looking after different lines and stations, it’s a wonder any trains run at all. The NHS could end up in a similar state.
People moan about turning 40, 50, 60…then they accept it. They get on with their lives. They start worrying about what’s on TV and if there will ever be a better pension scheme.
Me? I’m worrying about the fact I just turned 30. It happened recently and wow do I feel punished…
Because 30 is the worst of all the ages to turn, and here’s why:
For a woman – and I only know how it is for me and my friends, so this is only my opinion – it’s hard making the leap from twenties to thirties. The twenties are so alive. You’re out with friends, drinking in bars, and working and feeling like you’re at the top of the best-body-in-the-office table.
When you hit 30 you’re struck by the sudden horrendous realization that actually, there are girls younger than you with better bodies and more…time. Girls who, when they jump up and down, everything stays more or less in the same place and does not make a slapping sound.
turning 30 is tough: your hormones are more all over the place than they ever have been
Suddenly, being 30 feels like a total drag. Worse, it feels very sinister indeed. As though someone is lurking around the corner with a gun that can give you a dozen wrinkles with just one sordid pull of the trigger.
Another bizarre thing about turning 30 is that you share very little in common with…anyone, it feels like. For example, anyone over 32 feels very old to me, and anyone younger than me probably is dreading turning 30 and so doesn’t want to know me! OK, so that’s all a bit dramatic, but actually that’s another good reason why turning 30 is tough: your hormones are more all over the place than they ever have been. Faced with the onset of your maternal years vanishing right before your eyes, you’re left thinking Oh God, this is it, the clock is ticking faster than ever!
I speak only for myself, of course, single old me. Other people have relationships but I just seem to have my moaning old self right now. I think Grrrrrrr is the word. I need me some Sex and the City on DVD and a cold pizza and a bottle of wine. That ought to do it! (But I had better not…work tomorrow and when they ask me something important I don’t want to blurt out Asics Gel Kayano …or something else equally abstract. See? I’ve turned all professional, quick as a flash!)

When I was a teenager, in the early years, I loved high heel shoes. To me they signified taste, style and elegance. I spent waaaaay too much money on them. I won’t say here how much…but it was a lot of money, and for a while I’d even say I was addicted. I just HAD to have them, they were more important, even, than food.

Oily skin is caused by excessive production of sebum which is an oily secretion. People with active sebaceous glands are prone to have oily skin.

Acne is hated by all; it spoils the look of your beautiful face.
