Self care: Me too not Me First,
Self care isn’t about making you the number one priority and ignoring the needs of everyone around you. Self care means “me too”.
Eat the ugly Frog first
If we eat the frog, (ie get that awful job done out of the way), then the rest of the day has got to be a breeze but what if you have more than one frog item on your list?
Hello!
I'm Debs, and you've found
my little corner of the internet
I am a happily married mum of three. Our house is home to myself, my husband, three children and a huge variety of special educational needs and disabilities (ranging from severe visual impairment to autism, from speech and communication issues to dyspraxia and from osteoarthritis to vertigo) and it's also home to one very very nutty dog.
Life is never ever dull!
I hope you enjoy reading my posts, please
feel free to leave your comments and thoughts.

Focus, focus, focus
If you are anything like me, you are possibly involved in several projects.

Failure, then success
Fear of Failure Why are we so afraid of failure? Failure means different things to different people; due to our upbringing, beliefs, values and obviously the standards we set for ourselves. Failure for one person may not be a failure for someone else. First of all, you need to really be clear about what failure …

Give the world the best of You
Self Care – Not a priority, sorry! How often do you put you first? How often do you do something that is just for your benefit and no one else’s? How often do you make time for yourself, to have a pamper, go for a run, meditate, write, read, watch a movie, paint, crochet, go …
Are you busy being busy?
âThere is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all â Peter F Drucker Come on, be honest, how often do you put off doing something you really need to do and then focus on doing something that doesnât really need doing at all? Maybe you can spend hours …

One very sad dog. One person in the family who has loved having everyone home for lockdown. Heâs cried as they went to school and has now sat himself on the sofa looking totally dejected.
Heâs such a pack animal, never happier than when his pack are all with him. Going to be a chaotic moment when they start arriving back this afternoon.

Sound on. Sunny one minute and then the hail cane down. Roads with excess water and a storm also happening. Glad to be home - that really wasnât pleasant.
Sometimes you meet people on social media and youâre fairly sure youâd get on well in real life.
Today, me and my crew got to meet the very attractive @sally_laker_ and her youngest for the first time, despite being friends for more than 7 years on FB.
It was a very windy, socially distanced get together but what a joy to meet someone and realise that what you see on social media is what you get in real life.
Weâre already planning our next get together (without children) and Iâve smiled all day (well, except when we left and had to hike up a very steep slope - my legs donât like steep slopes)!
Hope your Tuesday was as much fun as mine

I have a passion for stationery. A visit to Staples or Paperchase makes me a happy lady. I also have a passion for journalling. Perfect match! #stationeryaddict #journalling #whyijournal ow.ly/EbjN30r6e8T
I have often escaped in a good crime thriller- this was based on the premise that no matter how bad things got in my life, at least I wasn't being hunted by a serial killer ow.ly/xeZa30r6e8S
