My Week

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on

My week as far as this post is concerned ends today as I will need tomorrow to recover from it….

Dear Kieran
When the hamster dies no you can’t wrap him in mini bandages to make him into a mummy and no he will not be getting a proper sarcophagus.
Love Mummy

Dear Bubble Wrap
It is true, you really are the gift that just keeps on giving!
Love her who enjoyed a very peaceful hour this week.

Dear Bottom
Stone award this week at Slimming World, getting scared yet? Before you know it your chubby fullness will be reduced to something rather less lardy.
Her who would like to see less of you.

Dear Parents
Running around in panic as you have lost your keys and feeling uneasy all day is terrible. You know what is good though? Being able to bribe your children with chocolate to get them to find them for you.
Love her who suspects small person mischief

Dear Teacher
I hope your strike on Tuesday gets you closer to the fair pay and pensions that you deserve, I certainly wouldn’t want the job of teaching the next generation. As the mere idea of running a birthday party with ten kids send me into a blind panic I’m sure I wouldn’t want to run a class of 32 kids.
Stay strong!

PS:  We are having a PJ day – cheers!

Dear THAT Nanny from Downton Abbey
You need a good brisk bottom slap and your mouth washing out with soap.
From her who is not amused.

Dear Week
You have been a busy one, thrown me some curveballs and have generally been a bit of an ass. I’ll let you off this time but don’t do it again.
Love Me x

If I Had a Million Pounds

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on 1 Comment

We’ve all had dreams and fanciful thoughts where we wonder what we would actually do if we won the lottery. Some would buy a boat, some holiday all over the world, others would give up work in an instant and I’m sure everyone would enjoy a fabulous time.

I have it all planned out. When I win the lottery or hit it big playing online casino games (unlikely as I can’t remember when I last had a £10 flutter) I only need to win a million pounds. More is always nice but a million would do me just fine.

Firstly, I would buy my parent’s house (I’ve told them this). It has so many fabulous memories that should they decide to retire to the seaside or whatever that I’d love to live there with Roy and the boys. Obviously my love of all things interior design would come into play here and I would redecorate and play with all of the things I’ve seen on DIY SOS and similar shows.

Obviously we would have a splurge, there would be new clothes, a better car for Roy and *stuff* but after that we would put some aside in a savings product so we wouldn’t have to worry about spending everything and like would carry on.

Would I stop working? No! I would certainly reduce my hours but I love writing, working with clients and getting to the end of a piece of work and thinking “I did that! And it isn’t half bad!”. No, I wouldn’t give up work although I suspect Roy would so that he could follow his dream of setting up his own business.

Would a million pounds in the bank change us? Hell no, we are who we are. We might have a shinier car and bigger house, and a few new gadgets but the boys will still go to school, we would still work in one way or another and we’ll still be geeks.

It would be nice to test the theory though!
What would be on your list of things to buy or do if you were to suddenly have £1m to play with?
