Nice to see you!

Three major events occurred for me last year (2010), all in the space of about 2 weeks. I turned 50. The following day I got married. Two weeks later, my oldest daughter became pregnant with her first child and my first grandchild.

Most middle-aged people will tell you that in their minds, they still feel 20 something. It's the same for me.

Wasn't it only yesterday that I was planning a night out with guys from the surf club? That gorgeous new perm. Flaired, cuffed denims and the red t-shirt with the off-the-shoulder frill. Corked platform wedgies. **sigh**

Suddenly I'm looking in the mirror and wondering how 30 years can flash by so damned quickly!

So here I am in cyberspace, sharing my genuine shock and horror with anyone who'll listen and maybe I'll even meet some other over 50s who find themselves in the same predicament!

Welcome to my dilemna!!

Counting Down

Still no Grandchild.

Less than four full days from the due date and all is quiet on the southern front.

The wait continues, and being the first baby for the other side of the family, I imagine that the wait is quite a struggle.

With Vegan Chickie’s history, I haven't thought for a second that our baby would enter this world early but now that we are close, I’m feeling edgy and more than ready to make some travel plans to see my family for the first time in over two years.

I can’t wait.

Today was a busy day at the shop receiving visitors, sorting through new stock, unpacking new snap buttons, steaming new clothes, slightly rearranging the arts n crafts area, making appointments with reps and handing over completed art pieces to the holiday girls.

My desk is covered in messy paperwork and that is my goal for tomorrow - clear the mess!

The training room is full of cardboard boxes and packaging. 

My party date for the weekend has been cancelled so I hope I can find the motivation to clear my dressing table - I’ll take a ‘before’ and ‘after’ shot. 

I bought these ...



.. to help organise the mess of jewellery all over the dressing table.

I’ve searched high and low for a decent sized jewellery box, because my beautiful red leather j box that Adoring Husband bought for me on my first birthday with him (17 yrs ago) has seen better days and needs replacing - or perhaps a repair job is a possibility.

It’s my new son-in-law’s birthday on 26th so ...


And I mean that in the nicest way possible 🤗

I have never met this lovely man face to face, but hopefully that will happen very soon!

My bed is calling me.


Nite all.
