back to life, back to reality
The last few weeks have been really odd. Not going into the office, not getting much work at all, The Girl not around, The Girl not at school when she came back, and then all of us stuck indoors cos of the snow. Add on to that seeing family, catching up with friends, presents, theatre, me and The Man getting colds, the whole Christmas and New Year thing and the lack of decent TV it’s been a very strange time.
So I’m actually really looking forward to going back into work tomorrow. I DO so like a bit of routine. Not TOO much routine, but enough to make me feel comfortable. I miss having a decent amount of work to really get my teeth into. This year is going to be a busy one and I’m looking forward to it!
The Girl is SO happy that she’ll be able to go to school tomorrow. She’s only had half a day back, and there were only 7 of her class in (lazy buggers!). The Girl loves school. I have forced that into her by making her life such a misery at home that she’s just ecstatic to be away from me!
I’ve actually got a busy week this week, not only have I got to get used to doing a full day’s work every day for a whole week (eek!! the trauma!!) but I’ve also got my work’s christmas do (we decided to have it late – cheaper, so we can aford more booze!) AND I’ve decided to go to the London blog meet up that chopandcut suggested to me. This is the first step in my determined effort to be more sociable this year that I mentioned last week. I am dead dead nervous, and probably wont speak to anyone but hell, it’s a start!!
I love comments and will generally answer any that are left - so please do leave one! Cancel reply
Just a normal girl
I recently turned 40 (eek - how did THAT happen?) I'm a Londoner - mother, lover and little kitty owner.
I do the normal London things. I'm really just pretty run-ofthe-mill!

You probably not talk???? Yeah right!
It’s true. My shyness will take over. Unless i have a few drinks before I get there. maybe should arrange to meet someone beforehand to get vodka-ed up!
I normally need a few drinks to come out of my shell lol
One of my aims this year is to be more sociable and become more cultured
Come and see me! I’ll show you some culture AND a few drinks
xx
yeah I suffer from being shy in new groups too, but find I just have to push myself, anyway I found there are lots of friendly people there and if you can’t find any of them then I guess you could speak to me! haha
glad you coming
I’m glad I’m not the only one. i used to meet a whole bunch of friends from an old site I used to go on – around 70 at a time…but I wouldn’t talk to anyone new for the first hour or so, unless they came and spoke to me, and then I was like a deer in the headlights
