Good things about the Olympics

Inclusion of women athletes from strict Muslim countries - all of them brave and winners!

So many new female role models surpassing all those useless famous for the sake of it TOWIE WAG types! From Boxing to Heptathlon

A damn fine mix of British Athletes winning GOLD, Silver, Bronze - Mo, Jessica, Greg, Chris Hoy.. I could go on and on!

Mitt Romney having to eat his words. The games have been fine! Silly silly Mitt the Twit! Take your magical underwear and eat it! And your tax returns are proving as elusive as those golden tablets!

Watching The Bolt! entertaining as ever! And he is generous with his show boating Doing the Mobot!!!

The all Jamaican 200m winners podium! We love doing The Beast and The Bolt! - and the super speedy 100m relay WOW WOW WOW

The opening ceremony - great mix of all things good about the UK including the NHS!!!

Most of the Closing Ceremony - but why the stupid models! Who cares if they are famous for wearing clothes having junkie boyf's Doh!

Hopefully it will inspire more people to activity, sport and has made these things cool again rather than boob jobs and fame for fame's sake!#

Edited to include:

I nearly forgot - Oscar Pistorius Blade Runner - Excellent competion and loking forward to seeing more of him in the Paralympics.

And Joanna Rowsell!!!! brave girl! great Role Model! Its not all about appearance and she has a lovely lovely attractive face regardless of her hair!

Why do I Blog!

Well primarily for me its a cathartic get it off my chest / a means to organise thoughts / to take stock. A journal that in 2012 has an interactive ' Dear diary' that is vast.

I don't write to share wisdom. Have very little of that. I don't claim to have an aspirational lifestyle of any kind. I dont write for it to be read even. If it is and my mad mixed up life interests people, makes them laugh, is a bit of a soap opera, whatever then that's great. Blogging - a bit of an affirmation of real life life choices maybe....

Sometimes my blog brings order and reflection to the real world. Sometimes Blogland folks share pearls of wisdom which is very very cool! :-)

I ve gained a great deal from reading other peoples blogs. Different ways of life are always interesting. I don't get involved in giveaways or stuff like that. I think its lovely though. Am pants at choosing gifts and it would give me no end of nightmares.

I read blogs before I blogged. Some people share so much and through reading I have learnt a great deal.Practical and otherwise.The tips are fantastic for frugal stuff. As are the stories of strangers lives. INSPIRATIONAL and all wonderfully different.

I m a bit of a roller coaster girl up and down. The blog keeps me more train like. Also an outlet for the negative stuff. A bit like wind. And by that I mean the gaseous stuff. BETTER OUT THAN IN. My blog is then a load of old fart.....this amuses me greatly.

Thanks Dave!!!

Once upon a time the end was in sight and financial freedom from my little debt of under 5k was nearly within my grasp! December 2012 if not before with the benefits of frugality however our friend Dave had other plans!!!!

I was made redundant from my job with a pish package I took what I could find till a full time position. Finally taking a 10k salary drop.

In 2009 I invested in property buying my house with a 15% deposit. n 2011 after three years of home owning and negative equity to the tune of 12k I have finally sold and now have jack bloody buggery shite. What smarts is that I gave up time with my small child in favour of seeking security for us. If only I had done the opposite....... rented, claimed top up benefits and saved my hard earned cash .... quality of life for me and weeny girl for three years would have been be better and we would have a cash sum in the bank and no debt.

You play frugal, play independent, watch your consumption, don't do frivalous sofas or new cars, no nights out at the pub type debt just what you have to! After a double whammy from the government - house market slump and Local Authority redundancy compounded by rural living what is a single mum supposed to do???? = Suck it up, Keep smiling, and use a brush instead of a hoover.
