Welcome to the 3rd July 2018 edition of my TMI Tuesday ramblings. This week the questions are
1. Picture the child you once were, what did that child do very well?
When I was a little girl I always had a talent for pushing myself further than people expected me to. Second best was never an option, particularly against myself. Grit and determination. I lost that somewhere along the line.
2. What are you really good at now?
I’m now really good at problem solving. Forget thinking outside of the box, I no longer have a box! And I have rediscovered that ability to push myself further than people believe, and I know that anything is possible.
3. Did you ever expect love in return and not get it?
I have known men that I have thought I loved and that they loved me in return when, quite clearly they haven’t. It is only very recently that I have come to understand what love really is, and I have given that without expectation. I have seen this clip many times, but never really understood it. Free, pure and unconditional. Is it returned? Actions always speak louder than words… I believe so. But in many ways it doesn’t matter if it is not reciprocated. I have enough self-love to be able to give some out without needing to hear those words.
4. Who do you need to get in touch with because it has been so long?
What funny timing??!! Today I have spoken with one of my favourite friends that I haven’t been in contact with since Christmas. And she is the last person who I need to “get in touch with because it has been too long.” I am so glad I sent her a message, she is going to help me with a task…
5. What are your thoughts on this:
“Every woman deserves her special day. I get that. But does it really have to cost so much fucking money? I mean, c’mon. If you’re serious about building a future with a guy, why bankrupt him?”
Pfffft!!! I don’t understand why weddings cost so much in both finances and energy. My wedding cost £600, which is only £50 more than my divorce! Rough calculations…. 14.5 years of marriage = £1.54 per week for costs… In other words I have no idea why it costs so much money. No relationship is defined by ONE DAY, it is all about the picture you paint rather than the cost of the canvas you paint it on!
Bonus: What is your number one priority?
Right now my number one priority is building a happy life for me and my beautiful children. It hasn’t been plain sailing, but – up to, and including, 3rd July – 2018 has given me an insight into what that can look like and, more importantly, how I can achieve that.

TMI Tuesday: 3rd July 2018 was first posted on A Leap Of Faith.
From the story of how the barefoot sub became the woman she is today, to toy reviews, with a hefty dose of contemplation, a sprinkling of erotica and a LOT of nudity in between, you can be sure to find something to tickle your fancy at A Leap Of Faith.
Great post as always, thanks for sharing =)
I love your answer about not having any boxes!
I have grown out of them. I used to have one. Then I’d skip merrily from box to box. Now I just float along in my own special way.
