<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How far do you go to support your child's imagination?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My youngest is 7 and has always been very imaginative and creative. We have had our share of imaginary friends and worlds and I have always played along while also checking her grasp and concept of reality, you know just to make sure things aren't getting a but mixed up along the seams.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have put dinner our for dolls, had conversations with them joined in the games and generally revelled in this wonderful little creative spirit that she is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But she's 7 now and I see many of her peers at school not playing in the same way or perhaps not being indulged or supported by their parents in the same way and I wonder if the time has come to be not so indulgent of her imagination.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The reason that I'm putting this out there today is that today is her beloved cabbage patch dolls birthday ( they come with a birth certificate for anyone that doesn't know)and not only did we buy her a present, we've made her a cake! now perhaps my daughter just fancies a nice cake and has figured out that this is one way to get one but is this indulging her imagination too much?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">should I be putting a stop to it? in a gentle way of course or will it just play its course and she will outgrow it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Some of her friends just seem so grown up compared to her but is that to do with society and different parenting styles? and why would I want her to grow up quickly? not that I want to keep her a baby but I don't want to hold her back either.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">so thoughts please?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-25934434101975836612016-02-12T13:15:00.003+00:002016-02-12T13:15:48.516+00:00Where did last year go?<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year feels like it went by in blur of work, life, children, grandchildren and everything else in between!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I say this because I realised that its been a while since not only have I written a post but it's been the same length of time since I read one and what I thought was probably about 8 months has turned out to be more like 18 months since my last post!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How did this happen? how did I get so caught up in things that this amount of time has passed without me realising?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have often had thoughts (often late at night) cross my mind and I've thought I will write something about that but then morning and again life takes over and here we are 18 months down the line and this is the first thing I'm writing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So no promises just attempts to share something, anything that I feel like I want to share with world or at least get out of my head.</span><br />

<br />
Robin Williams was quirky, eccentric, versatile and above all extremely funny!<br />
<br />
I think what we all need to remember and get from this in that everyone has a story behind the picture, behind the façade, everyone has struggles and depression is one of the hardest, at times its unexplainable, it catches when you least expect, when to the outside world you should be happy, you should be okay.<br />
But the reality is it can pull you down, sit there on your shoulder niggling away at your doubts and insecurities, your very sense of self until life itself is too much to bare.<br />
<br />
So the next time you ask someone "How are you?" mean it! really let that person know that you want to hear what they have to say, you could make a difference and if you or someone you know needs some extra support ask for help, lets take away the stigma still attached to talking about mental health.<br />

For now I think it a fitting tribute to just remember the Genius that was Robin Williams, for me my favourite movies were.. well lets face it they were all pretty good but It has to be, in no particular order, Hook, Moscow on the Hudson, Mrs Doubtfire, Mork and Mindy (nanoo nanoo), Good Morning Vietnam, His stand up performances particularly live at The Met (pure Genius) and of course Dead Poets Society! so I will leave you with this......<br />

<br />
So.... If I can think of anything to say and if anyone cares to read it I shall be trying my hand at entertaining and informing or just the usual mad ramblings!Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-8068192959312622962014-01-25T09:45:00.002+00:002014-01-25T09:45:08.926+00:00Dear Justin BieberI'm sure that there are blogs galore talking about Justin Bieber, his arrest, his behaviour etc. etc.<br />
<br />
But it appears to me that no one has stopped to think that this is a teenage boy! he is not product or a commodity he is a teenage boy who needs love and care and some understanding!<br />
<br />
Ok, he's making a lot of mistakes but what teenage boy doesn't, the problem here is he is a victim of his fame nothing he does goes unnoticed, he blows his nose and it makes the front page.<br />
<br />
I think this boy needs a hug and someone to listen to him and he needs parenting! now I'm not blaming his parents by any means. I just think his dad has forgotten that he is in fact his father not his 'friend' and his mother perhaps feels that he is successful, financially independent and this makes him an adult and I know there are many 19 years olds that no longer need parenting just perhaps that parental advice every now and then but this young man has been living in an adult world for some years now and I think many have forgotten he is a child.<br />
<br />
I'm sure Justin has enjoyed the freedom and the success and power attracts many different people but many for the wrong reasons and knowing who to surround yourself with, knowing who to trust and who has your best interests at heart is difficult for any of us but this young man has people throwing themselves at him on daily basis.<br />
<br />
He is feeling depressed and he is being bullied yes bullied from complete strangers, those in the public eye, those that should know better and comment against bullying yet think because this young man is famous he is somehow impervious to the effects of bullying? I think not! <br />
<br />
What he needs is to take himself back to his roots to his real friends who loved him before the fame and he needs some counselling, someone to talk to who will listen in a non judgemental way, giving him unconditional positive regard and empathy.<br />
<br />
And above all he needs his parents and if they're not up to the job of parenting a 19 year old... well Justin you're welcome to come here, I'll be honest with you, I won't take your crap but I will take care of you!<br />
<br />
And do you know the thing is until this recent arrest I hadn't really thought about him as a person he was just some singer my daughter liked but all this negative attention, all these things that wouldn't make the news if he wasn't famous, all the jokes about him and nasty negative comments 'the bullying' of him made me think if these comments, these jokes were being made about any other kid there would be public outcry! <br />
<br />
So what makes him any different?<br />
<br />
Thoughts please?<br />
<br />

<br />
I have lost my sense of smell and the bizarre thing is I didn't notice for I don't know how long, My life was literally so busy that I hadn't realised that I could no longer smell!<br />
<br />
I was at work, where I co facilitate a parenting programme and my colleague said to me "one of the parents is complaining about the smell of Mr ..... What shall we do about it?" and I thought ok, I was just standing next to him and I didn't smell anything bad.<br />
<br />
So I thought about going up to and giving a good sniff but I though that might be a little weird and perhaps socially unacceptable so I tried to discretely smell him and nothing! Nada! not a thing! so I thought about it and realised that I hadn't been noticing the smell of my perfume or dinner when I forgot about it and it burnt!<br />
<br />
For the next few days I went around sniffing everything and absolutely nothing not even a hint of a smell I went to see my GP and well basically he doesn't have a clue so has referred me to an ENT and now just to add insult to injury I've lost my sense of taste.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok there are many smells and tastes that I don't mind losing but there are so many that I miss!<br />
<br />
So what I'm really doing here is asking if anyone has a clue about what might be happening to me?<br />

(yes I know I'm a little late)So it is a new year 2014 hurrah! we welcome and salute you! and you better bring me a better year than the last one! Seriously 2013 what were you thinking!<br />
<br />
I know I've been a little here there and everywhere with my blog, I stay, I write, I enjoy, I love catching up with all my favourite bloggers particularly Rhymes with Plague (I've missed you Robert) and then I disappear again all elusive like Sherlock obviously without the whole faking my death thing! wow what a series and who wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that kiss!<br />

<br />
I made this shocking realisation last night. My best friend and I had arranged to go out for a bit of a catch up, we both have busy lives and don't get to see each other half as much as we should.<br />
<br />
So the first sign of my impending old age actually went unnoticed by me at first but here it is...... Dare I say it? ......I swapped my beautiful wedges that I had put out to wear for a nice comfortable pair of flat pumps! I know, what is wrong with me!<br />
<br />
So that going unnoticed we headed off, the fact that it was still daylight upon leaving should have been my second clue but it gets worse than that!<br />
<br />
We ended up in fabulous little Turkish Restaurant where the food is great, the service is great, you know the kind that ticks all the boxes and we chatted and enjoyed our meal and only ordered one bottle of wine between us (another sign here me thinks!) and then we left and we didn't know what to do and my friend, my dear sweet usually exactly the same as me friend said " shall we just go back to yours and have a cup of tea" and I said YES!<br />
<br />
but that's not all, do you want to know the worst of it? I can't believe I'm going to admit this but I looked at my watch and it was only 8.30! Seriously hanging me head in shame here, there was a time when she and I would only just be thinking about getting ready to go out at that time and more likely coming home at 8.30 am! oh how times have changed.<br />
<br />
I did scare myself the other day when I saw a top in shop for ladies of a certain age and thought, that's quite nice, if only I'd seen the signs then.<br />
<br />
So how does one mourn ones youth? Should I burn all those clothes that my daughters still want to borrow and buy some nice sensible skirts and sweaters? I just don't know what the correct etiquette is here? or to I just accept that all of us have to grow up at some time and just fancy that nice cup of tea?<br />
<br />
But seriously dude heading home at 8.30!<br />
<br />
Oh god just realised probably should stop saying dude and I'm guessing that twerking is really out of the question too!Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-53252672967170031022013-09-01T10:39:00.000+01:002013-09-01T10:40:59.919+01:00EscarNOSo would you pay for someone to deposit slimy mucus all over your face?<br />
<br />
Get your mind out of the gutter, I'm not talking about some weird fetish....although that could be a whole other post!<br />
<br />
What I'm talking about is the latest anti-ageing 'beauty' treatment brought to us by those kind people of Japan ( have we not learnt anything from Japanese game shows about their idea of fun!) that involves letting live snails slither their way across your face, apparently their mucus has powerful anti-ageing properties thanks to highly beneficial proteins contained in snail mucus.<br />
<br />
But before you all run out to your back gardens and grab the nearest snail, these are no ordinary snails that are used in these delightful sounding facials no these are organically fed snails that once used on a client are are allowed to rest for 4 days, you know to recuperate from the shock of slithering over a humans face!<br />
<br />
I think I'd need four days to recover from a snail slithering its way around my face eurgh I'm just shuddering at the thought.<br />
<br />
Seriously will we do anything in the name of not growing old and so called beauty? and what's stopping anyone getting snails from their garden and starting up in business... I have tons of them in my garden, anyone fancy a facial?<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Or how about a bird poo facial (again from Japan, just saying) or a bull semen facial and hair mask... how and why was this discovered to be beneficial and how do they get the semen ( insert confused and disgusted face here!)<br />

<br />
Seriously what would you do in the name of beauty?Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-54901012164200663942013-08-28T11:39:00.000+01:002013-08-28T11:39:12.504+01:00Crappy Birthday to me!Today is my birthday and I was feeling a little woeful, not at the thought of adding another year to my life but at the point I find myself at this point in my life, hence the title!<br />
<br />
but I have been spoilt my my lovely children and I have decided to not think about all the bad stuff that's going on for me at the moment (or at least try!) and to just have a day of relaxation and self care!<br />
<br />
And all I keep thinking about is this song that my dad would always sing on his birthday!<br />

<br />
I was raised by an atheist and a Cristian although she only went to church mainly at Easter, Christmas, weddings, funerals, christenings and the occasional Sunday. I was christened and I had the most amazing Godparents who were there for me their entire lives and whom I miss dearly. I was sent to a church school but one of neither denomination of my parents (are there even atheist schools? what do they look like? or are they just the state school system in this country? anyway I digress) I was sent to a catholic school that made us say a prayer at every given opportunity yet I never actually had that blind devoted faith, don't get me wrong I wanted it I tried so hard, I said my prayers, I really enjoyed religious education but I just couldn't say that I was a true believer.<br />
<br />
How do you believe in something that you can't see, hear or touch?<br />
<br />
The scientist is me I guess, always need that unequivocal proof.<br />
<br />
But and here's the thing I love, I know its love I have blind faith in how much I love my children yet I can't see it, hear it or touch it, I just know it, so what is the difference?<br />
<br />
Ah, but you can see them, hear them and touch them you'll probably say, its different, but is it?<br />
<br />
Because the love, the love is something you just know and feel there is no physical thing no quantifiable measure you just feel it.<br />
<br />
So here I am again trying to figure out why I can't find faith and trust me I am open to all religions! I just haven't had that I believe moment and what got me to thinking about this even more is that I have been going through some really tough times and I know so many that find comfort in their faith and in their church and to be honest I want that.<br />
<br />
I thought about going to various Churches finding out more, a try before you buy if you will but I don't know, is that the way forward?<br />
<br />
The thing is in times of need and crisis I find myself praying but is that faith or desperation?<br />
<br />
So many questions but are there any answers?<br />
<br />

<br />
As is usual with my lot we were fashionably late and the last ones to arrive but we got there just as the sea has reached high tide and with picturesque blue skies it was really something out of a summer beach movie until you throw a family picnic of 23 into the equation! I was worried that the beach might be busy and we might not spot everyone else.... oh foolish me! as we reached the top of the sand dune leading down to the beach how could I not spot them! normal families go to the beach and take up the space of say a picnic blanket and a few towels, mine took up what seemed like the whole beach!<br />
<br />
It has been a fabulous day with many laughs, great food, wine, games and did I mention wine!<br />
<br />
walking to the beach from the car one of daughter's was carrying 2 quite heavy bags so I said to her do you want me to take one of those to which one of my other daughters responded "no leave her she's working on her biceps" to which the daughter carrying the bags replied "eurgh why would I do that I can lift a goat!" errr what the ????? after I stopped laughing at her scale of judging strength and fitness I thought yes I suppose given that she's at college studying to work with animals it could make sense.<br />
<br />
Later that same daughter was snapped in a photograph looking at her armpits when asked what on earth she was doing she said "checking my armpit hair on a scale of 1-French" (no offence is meant by that to any French readers trust me she couldn't or wouldn't offend anyone, well not on purpose at least!)<br />
<br />
And no day at the beach would be complete with the obligatory digging of a hole now most kids start digging and pretty soon give up not our lot! theirs was over 4 feet deep, hit water and could fit 3 of them in before the cave-in incident which then turned the hole into lets see how many of us we can bury up to our necks and see if they can escape...aahhh...fun for all the family!<br />
<br />
But as I sat there watching them and Laughing at these kids all playing together aged from 4 to 19 and all laughing and having fun I realsied that life might be a bit difficult at the moment and I might be struggling far more than I would like, actually who likes to struggle? but you know what I mean! anyway I realised I am blessed in so many ways!Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-577227659639702782013-08-20T08:55:00.000+01:002013-08-20T08:55:44.144+01:00Another one of those daysMy post today is me having yet another rant, get all of this crap off my chest so I can hopefully move on with my day and make it better. I did try ranting and letting it all out to the dog but he just looked at me with that sideways kind of look probably thinking just feed me and walk me will you woman! so unfortunately for anyone reading this you're going to get it! don't blame me blame the dog!<br />
<br />
So I woke up this morning to find that I hadn't been paid, always a good way to start the day so I now have to try and sort that out and just to make things worse I'm broke, flat broke, with bills to pay thanks to a great number of changes in my life all I have coming in is my income from part-time work and some benefits and today was supposed to be my final pay for my little but rewarding part time work and I now have to figure out and face the challenge and humiliation of signing on!<br />
<br />
I have been desperately searching my a job that will fit round college, my placement and actually getting to see my little daughter but its nigh on impossible and apparently our present government though quick to blame the parents if a child turns out bad doesn't actually want us to raise our own children they would prefer a failing school system, after school clubs and child minders to do that and the bitter irony here is that my little part time work has been facilitating a parenting programme where many of the children are actually having issues from lack of quality time with their parents because in many cases parents have to work 2 jobs just to make ends meet and it is the poor children that get lost in the cracks!!! deep breath Emma! this seriously makes my blood boil not to mention the fact that I want to cry!<br />
<br />
I have until late June before I finish my course and hopefully pass my exams and get my Diploma but apparently this government doesn't want you to better yourself and open yourself up to a higher paid job market, no it wants you to be available to work at all times in order to receive any benefits! where is the sense in that? quite frankly I really REALLY don't want to go and sign on but I have no choice if I want to feed my children so with heavy heart unless someone offers me a job that fits in around college I have to and this is making me thoroughly miserable.<br />
<br />
We think society has evolved but the reality is it hasn't you cannot be a single parent and want to better yourself without something or more importantly someone suffering, now I'm not saying the benefits system should be easy and a free for all but if you are trying your hardest to make a better life for yourself and your family shouldn't that be encouraged and supported not made virtually impossible?<br />
<br />
So on that note I feel a little better for getting it all off my chest and if anyone out there would like to offer my a job that supports my future I will happily turn my hand to almost anything!Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-53190603320204662322013-08-19T08:45:00.000+01:002013-08-19T08:45:03.396+01:00Just a little rant on a Monday MorningSo on my return to blogging it would appear that my creative juices have run dry having filled my head for the past year with psychotherapy, attachment and human behaviour it would seem like although I want to write I'm unable to come up with something so what I am going to talk to you about is Poop! I know, way to raise the intellectual bar round here but that's my topic Poop! in particular dog poop!<br />
<br />
I was walking the dog this morning and I was absolutely amazed and disgusted by how much dog poo there was in our local park seriously what is wrong with some dog owners I am actually starting to think that I am the only person in the whole of Peckham who cleans up after their dog either that or there is one dog who really needs to be seen by a vet and one owner who doesn't know that in fact you legally have to clean up after your dog and actually its disgusting for us humans that walk their dogs with their children to A. have to dodge the poo and B. have to stop their dogs potentially eating another dogs poo or rolling around on the spot of grass where said anonymous dog has pooed and please don't get me started on the amount of chicken bones that I have to drag forcibly from dogs mouth. People of Peckham if you must eat your chicken and chips walking along then please have the decency to throw your food waste in the bin! not only do you encourage rats you make poor people like me have to wrestle their dog to stop it choking or doing even worse damage.<br />
<br />
My fun walks with my little one and pooch have turned into an obstacle course that the toughest of military would be proud of! So people when you see a mad woman and child leaping and zig zagging their way through the park and then said mad woman straddling a dog to retrieve a chicken bone lodged in its jaw try to remember ...... be a responsible dog owner and clean up the poo and if you must eat chicken and chips when you finish ..... use a bin!<br />
<br />
Rant over, as you were!<br />
<br />
and hopefully I'll be back with something a bit more fun than poo!Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-727722961017350242013-08-18T10:39:00.000+01:002013-08-18T10:39:35.567+01:00The wanderer returns! otherwise known as its actually quiet in my house for five minutes and I've been meaning to do this for monthsSince last year when I decided to return to education my life has been unimaginably busy, in fact when I think about it I don't know how I've managed it so far, so pat on the back to me! but the one thing that suffered because my hectic lifestyle was my poor blog which not only I'm sure is sad for my tens of thousands of followers(well 10 in reality but you know no harm in wishful thinking) but its actually really sad for me.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I logged in this morning and saw that I haven't posted anything since the very beginning of the year and I feel like I should catch you all up but the reality is its been filled with work, college, study, placement, kids, writing many many assignments, trying to organise childcare and actually spend time with said children! not necessarily in that order!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But doing anything for me has come right at the bottom of that great big long list so on top of all of the above as I embark upon my 2nd year of my diploma I am going to try and get some me and my blog time, you may enjoy reading it or more likely no one else will read it unless they stumble across it searching for Jesse Williams(apparently its how most people come across my blog) in which case welcome and please do come back I am going to do my best to write more often and some may even be interesting and funny! you never know! but I'm doing it for me like I said when I first started it's a place to express all the mad ramblings and little bit of crazy that goes on in my head!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh and we have a new dog!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Got to throw in one random catch up thing haven't I?</div>

(I kid you not!) though what exactly she will be doing to make this 3D vision more watch-able is anybody's guess! throwing snowballs at the screen perhaps, or just waving arms emphatically! who knows but in my Christmas message (not in 3D) I would just like to share my thoughts.<br />
<br />
We are in general a consumer driven society often forgetting what is really important and not being grateful for what we have. I for one this year feel blessed I have had 2 quite scary health scares but I am ok, I have a roof over my head, food in my belly and family and friends to share the season with.<br />
<br />
This year my presents may be small and I may not be giving as much as usual but my love and compassion for others is big and my home will hopefully be filled with laughter so for me that is the best present I could wish for!<br />
<br />
So I'm going to leave you know with the poem that I and probably many of you that are reading this read their children every year The famous poem by Clement C Moore<br />
<br />
<br />
<img align="BOTTOM" alt="Sample Poem Text and Graphics, Click to see more detail." border="4" height="1797" src="http://www.nightbeforechristmas.biz/images/poem02_sm.jpg" width="498" />Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-85376632514690430432012-12-16T11:17:00.000+00:002012-12-16T11:17:20.335+00:00LifeI've neglected my blog quite badly of late, home, college, work and generally life have all been so full on, that my poor old blog fell to the bottom of a great big to-do list!<br />
<br />
But I am back and this returning post might be a bit scattered and if it is I apologise but I have a head full of thoughts that I need to express somewhere so you lucky folks that read this get to have my first returning post that might just be an incoherent mess!<br />
<br />
The awful tragic event at Sandy Hook Elementary got me to thinking....A LOT!<br />
<br />
Firstly like everyone else how awful and devastating the loss is to all those poor families, that poor community that has had their entire lives turned upside down by one very sick individual. I can't even comprehend the pain and utter despair they must be feeling but I also gave thought to the family of the perpetrator of such extreme evil, what went wrong that he thought that this was the answer? Were there signs? Could something have been done to prevent this? Questions that I'm sure others are asking too but that family too are suffering not only loss but the knowledge that they will surely be blamed and victimised for the actions of one of their family members a guilt that they too will have to live with. Obviously my first thoughts are with the families of those brave teachers and poor little children but I just think that the others involved deserve a thought too.<br />
<br />
And when that dreadful news came on the radio, TV and now the newspapers I couldn't help but wonder if the exposure by the media of these mentally ill perpetrators actually gives them a forum to do these hateful things? We see time and time again when these awful things happen the name and face of evil splashed across every TV and newspaper and we know and remember the names but how many of the victims names do you remember? Now I'm not completely blaming the media but I have to wonder how many of these sick people have seen the attention given and thought to themselves I won't die a nameless loner I shall share my pain inflict it on others and instead of being invisible be remembered by all! They don't care that for eternity they shall be known as the face of evil I think they just care the they will be known! That's why I shan't even mention his name but I urge anyone reading this to go and look for the names of the victims and remember them!<br />
<br />
And for me it made me realise the important things, I hugged my children a little tighter and all the worries that I had about money being tight this year and the fact that I can't afford to get them much suddenly was put into perspective. We are a consumer driven society driven by the media to think that we need these material things or our life might be less than if we don't have them! The reality is material things get broken, lost, devalued. Life is about experiences, it's the memories that we can keep forever or at least as long as our faculties allow! So this Christmas I shall do something to spread kindness, I shall spend time with the people I love and I will hope to instill those same values in my children who might not be opening the latest gadget or thing but will be sharing a meal in a warm house that will hopefully be filled with joy and laughter and gratitude that we have what is important.<br />

<br />
Don't get me wrong I love clothes, I love dressing up and I know that fashion week is a chance for up and coming designers to get their work out there and there are designers whoses lines I love so let me justify my opening line by saying that I personally don't follow fashion, I don't know what colour is in at the moment or even what style.<br />
<br />
I don't want someone to dictate to me what is and what isn't in fashion, I know what I like and quite frankly I don't care if it's this seasons, last seasons or 20 years old if I like it, it fits me and it looks nice then I'll wear it!<br />
<br />
For me, style, fashion call it what you will is personal and eclectic it's about looking and feeling good.<br />
<br />
How about you, are you a dedicated followerer of fashion or do you march to the beat of your own drum?<br />
<br />

In fact I don't know how they were even drawn to a teachers attention anyway it got me to thinking about the whole school uniform and dress code issue.<br />

Now I agree with school uniform I think it's a great leveller, it stops kids thinking about what they're going to wear and as long as it isn't one of those ludicrously expensive ones from a school uniform shop (don't get me started there, that's a whole other issue) it saves us parents money but what I do have issue with is schools telling parents how their children can have their hair or makeup.<br />
<br />
Please someone tell me how this affects their learning?<br />
<br />
How differently is my child going to learn if they have blue streaks in their hair or have their ears pierced twice, seriously someone please tell me?<br />
<br />
Shouldn't we be allowing our children to express their individuality? within reason of course but surely that's a parents decision not a schools. <br />
<br />
How do you feel about this issue?Emma_pshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16626066692290521804noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976033584226460271.post-5859964938968627582012-09-07T20:00:00.000+01:002012-09-07T20:00:50.139+01:00Here I am again, helloWell, I did it again didn't I ? I apologised, declared my love for my blog then let it fall by the wayside once again, this is the point where I'm pulling a sad pouty face, I'm actually quite disappointed in myself for not managing my time better.<br />
<br />
School holidays were mad and hectic and I have completely lost any routine that I had.<br />
<br />
But now school holidays are over, I start back at college next week for 2 more years....we have already established I'm insane right? And on top of that I have the voluntary work I do plus a 4 year old to entertain and take care of and then of course there's the teenagers!<br />
<br />
So you see why I struggle with my time management!<br />
<br />
But hopefully I will be here more often and maybe I'll even entertain and inform you! Or at least make you feel better about your life's!<br />

<br />
I know I've been bad and I've neglected you of late but I do love you honestly I do and thanks to the rather gorgeously haired Rose McClelland ( a recent follower) I was reminded quite how much, I know it shouldn't have taken a stranger to remind of my love for you but....well, that's just how it is sometimes.<br />
<br />
So, dear blog if you'll have me back , I'm here and I will try harder to visit you and update you regularly!<br />
<br />
All my love<br />
