A new year has begun
yes, Christmas is over, another one done The tree and decorations have been packed away I've taken down the Christmas cards which were once on display The chocolate has been eaten the Pringles have all been popped I fear for my scales as I get on a great weight will have been dropped Back on the diet Slimming World will be pleased as I am in need of some pressure from my hips to be released For me the house does not seem empty or appear at all bare I didn't really get into Christmas or give it a care I do though like the thought of this band new year maybe it will bring a new lover or a dazzling career The career I'm all up for but not fussed about love I'm looking out for oneself, giving romance a shove I'll be busy loving family and friends in 2019 paying attention to new horizons, my fitness and getting lean I'm not making resolutions, I'm not into all that a few weeks in and I'll still be a little fat But I'm happy within and that's all that there is So be happy too and make your new year complete bliss 🥂🍾🥂 Thank you for reading today.

My poem today was written on Boxing Day, it's kind of my little protest about having the 26th as another day of rest.
So here goes..... I think the sales should start tomorrow put off for another day to have a good furrow As humans I think we need one more day of rest to allow our bodies and minds to perform at their very best Shop staff may prefer another day of eating, drinking and in their pj's they could stay We could then get excited, get prepared to camp out nudge everyone out the way, careful not to give anyone a clout The queues they start early on the doors security people looking all burly It's like nightclubbing back in the day but instead of a cocktail you come out with something cheap on display Me? I prefer to stay at home I like to leave it longer before I go out for a roam Bread and milk from little Tesco for me then back to the warm, lock my door up again with my key So I'll leave it to you whatever you enjoy give a smile and thank the ones the shops do employ I hope you get the bargains you have your eyes upon but if you need me I'll be taking part in a Quality Street marathon 🛍🎁🛍 Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday... but for now..... Take care xxx I've got a teapot I just can't use for a brew
I know this because I bought it today all sparkling new I thought I would have it for a Christmas pressie to myself but my mum insists on wrapping it, 'no don't you put that on your shelf' It's going to be wrapped and put from my boys which is lovely, so sweet, oh the joys But secretly I'm thinking it could be brewing my tea not waiting for Christmas in a day or three I'm not finding it easy to ignore my new pot I like to be using it as soon as it's got Never mind I have got another and it seems, a very insistent mother Ah it will be lovely to unwrap and act surprised I'm practising my face as I've been advised Just give me an Oscar, give it to me now let's get on with Christmas and drink all the tea my new pot will allow ☕️☕️☕️ Thank you for reading today. I will be back tomorrow for Free From Friday... but for now take care xxx Where's my Christmas mojo? It seems to have got lost
out with all the rubbish it may have got tossed I'm just not feeling it, does that mean Santa will not come? I think I've been a very good girl and an ok mum I've dressed up and even sung a song or two but that has still left me feeling a bit blue Oh Christmas, where for art thou? and why am I speaking all Shakespeare now? I've decorated my tree and had a chocolate or two I thought that would do it make me feel all brand new But no, still waiting to feel the urge and move along with the festive surge I think it all starts too soon the barbecue's only just packed away then the Coke lorry is belting out it's holiday tune I'm sure I will feel it, I don't want to be a grinch Come on Santa's elves send me some Christmas magic and give me a big pinch 🎄🎄🎄 Thank you for reading today.

fate sometimes can be very strange You go along with your day to day life no worries or no trouble and strife But then comes along a life changing choice big thinking involved and a strong voice Will you or won't you take that chance or just stay in the same old circumstance Life gives us choices sometimes too good to be true but we should at least consider them, think them through Some say 'grab it, life is way too short' opportunities can be missed with too much thought We all like to be sensible and do the right thing the future can seem cloudy unsure of what it will bring One thing is for sure, if you don't try you'll not know and to me that would be a massive blow So get all the facts to help you decide get some views from those on the outside When you have done this you'll be so sure and add your new venture to life's colourful brochure ❋❋❋ Thank you for reading today. Join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now..... Take care xxx Another storm with a name - no way
It was just a blustery wind back in the day All storms now alphabetically sorted and most of them atmospherically imported Oh that low pressure coming from the Atlantic yellow warnings sending us frantic Lots of rain, big waves and wind speeds are high It's not my favourite weather I won't lie Storm Diana sounded a little mad some parts of the country suffer really bad Do we seem to be having more of these gales? Or are the climate change people just telling us tales Summer's will get hotter and winters will be cold well that's what we are always being told I'm going day to day checking my app and watching Tomasz Shafernaker on my telly, he seems a nice chap Whatever the weather just stay safe will you please and wrap up warm if the temperatures go down a few degrees Down a tipple to warm you up or drink a hot chocolate from your favourite cup Don't drive they say unless it's really necessary does that include Christmas tree shopping and searching for a fairy? Stay inside and shop online The storms will blow away and very soon the weather will be fine ☔️☔️☔️ Thank you for reading today Please join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now.... Take care xxx I can't wait to join the Christmas madness
singing with Rock Choir will bring on the gladness A great choice of songs we're ready to sing and all the happiness that Christmas will bring We have a bit of 'Footloose' that may just get you dancing or you might be happy with foot tapping and a bit of glancing Footloose, you're thinking is not a Christmas song No....but I'll give you a few seconds and you'll be singing along You may be a diva and join in with a classic from Miss Carey 'All I Want For Christmas' will bring out your inner fairy 'Silent Night' and 'The First Noel' join together as one each sang so sweetly neither to be outdone We all love the moves that go along with our tunes seriously, they will make you want to swing your pantaloons Ok a little jig will do just don't make it look as though you're desperate for the loo A lot of time and effort goes into these performances you know come and see us we will give you a Christmas glow Rock Choir is the only name you need singing, dancing, a happy time guaranteed!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you for reading today.

to decide which one is best Will Sainsbury's, John Lewis or Tesco win the title of best Christmas advert as it's so vital The classics are good, the one with the lorry all a light or Kevin the Carrot hanging onto his lorry with all his might Some adverts are never changed as shops don't feel they need to be rearranged They are getting earlier every bloomin' year and each one seems to want you to part with a tear Children, animals and even Elton in the mix but poor old Iceland got told off for including politics The best things in life are sometimes banned ask Franke Goes to Hollywood, Google 'Relax' and you'll understand They will probably come out on top appealing for everyone to give palm oil a swap It must be tricky to think of new ideas year after year and companies must work hard on filming and to appear sincere For me it's all bit of harmless fun so enjoy deciding....Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎄🎄 Thank you for reading... join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now... Take care xxx I wrote a verse back in May last year about my son having a brace fitted to his teeth which you can read here....the-world-of-dental-braces.html
Today he had it taken off...... so I wrote a poem about it........ It did all turn out fine the boy he never moaned or gave a whine After a year and a half the brace came off he's now excited about all the food he can scoff I am so proud as he has coped so well he's followed the rules even on the days when it felt like hell Check ups, he went for every single one and now at the final one it's vanished all gone It's been worth it as his teeth they are straight and not too long having to wait The time has flown, it doesn't seem that long since I wrote the first verse, willing him to be strong Now he is free of a mouth full of metal I'm going to celebrate with a brew, where's the kettle? For now he wants to chew some gum as that's what he's missed and biting into an apple, well who couldn't resist It came off so quick, snipped off in a flash all stacked up and ready for the trash Happy now with a smile so sweet after eighteen months the task is complete 🍏🍎🍏 Thank you for reading today join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now.... Take care xxx I'm well and truly back at school
and it feels really very cool It's Open University to be exact studying at home but I still interact I am reading my text book and making notes reciting proper poetry and learning quotes I'm testing myself on the correct grammar to use reading and writing literature, well now there's no excuse There are rules to get our language just right I tend to break them though when I start to write I love Arts and Languages, they fascinate me which is good because this all could lead to a degree Plenty of hard work in front of me now making time, as much as life will allow I am going to do this, achieve great things get out there, succeed and spread my wings 📚📚📚 Thank you for reading today, join me again tomorrow for Free From Friday but for now....
