Stop Listening To Course Advice from Parents

What advice would you give to your teenage self? I feel the biggest mistake I made as a teenager was being led in my career and courses by my parents. I wanted to join the army, I really wish I had. I also wanted to study French, Art and Art History and go to university

Seal

As I’m sat here chilling Watching Breakfast TV I hear a not so gentle snoring and feel a vibrating next to me I see a little piggy, just one of her nicknames The others are Seal, poohead and Princess Her real name is Jessie ‘Poo’ She’s the type of dog afraid of her farts A

Doggy Love

He’s a crazy kinda Labrador His whole body wiggles The goofy grin he gives you shouts ‘Turkey teeth’ for miles He’s loves to roll on the carpet And sometimes lick your toes He’s a special kinda loopy He will chase a ball for hours Keep you warm when you are sick I’d don’t know what

Personal Problems here

Times, personally are difficult right now for our family. *Update The eye hospital wasn’t too concerned and regular monitoring is now scheduled, they were more worried about my husband potentially having diabetes and high blood pressure so they are now being checked.

Bariatric side effect

Not for you, oh no, for your significant other/husband/wife/partner. My husband now complains that he is putting weight on because I’m self conscious about leaving my food if we eat out. It’s true, but I know he’s unhappy about it. When we are out I don’t always want to eat off the starter Menu or
