It's been forever since I last posted any updates here in noise.cash and especially in read.cash. I missed it. I have loads to share with you guys. Most of the time I'm telling myself, I should have posted this by now and written content about it when I was in a different place or doing something or seeing something interesting that you might appreciate. But my energy capacity was used 100% and I have to sacrifice my social media life because I just can't handle it. I have…
Since it's morning to most of you let me share these gorgeous flowers I enjoyed taking shots of while in Turkey. We were in Datca and it's a beautiful town with perfect scenery. While walking in the street you will see these flowers everywhere. And they are very colourful! They surely will cheer you up. I don't know what they are called but the last photo is part of my childhood. In the Philippines, that was my first piece of jewellery when I was a kid. And I showed Tia how…
Good morning, lovely people! Oh I missed this morning greeting. Thank you so much to all of your warm message and comment. It's really nice to be here again. As always after all the cooking in the morning I'm taking the kids to school. And today is a wet day. Thought it's gonna be sunny but welcome to the UK's summer! The sun might surprised us later. And I'm off to work. Have to go to the shop and get myself a coffee. I brought my cup with me so I don't have to spend much…
It's a good day! I'm feeling the vibes. The kids are off to school now and I'm off to work. Tia gave Duckly to me to bring to work so I will not be alone and I'm told she's a good worker so I can get the help that I need as it's getting busier this week. It's funny when my alarm wakes me up l, I don't want to get up and I told my husband that I don't want to work today. And I don't want to cook breakfast. And I just want to sleep and have a lie-in. Lol. But I have to get up!…
'Tatli' My favourite part of our holiday and the one I always look forward to is the dessert. Sometimes I just want to skip from soup to dessert right away. When we were in Datça at the hotel, it was challenging to communicate as we are in part that is more on for locals so they don't speak English so having Google Translate comes in handy. Every night for a week I will ask the lovely lady, "What's for dessert?" And she gets used to it so before I even ask, she will say,…
DOGO Oh, I love this sneakers! Got this from Dogo Store in Marmaris. We don't have that shop here in the UK. So I treat myself and the kids to bring home with us. Jigz got Harry Potter and Tia a butterflies one. It's an odd pair lol each has its own pattern on it made me want it. It's a lovely day, the sun is shining brightly so why not put on my best shoe and feel the vibe. I told myself I'm not gonna wear this on a rainy day lol. Coz it's white! It's never easy to keep it…
Last week, we fly to Manchester in good faith to get a car that my husband saw advertised on Facebook Market. The car in the ad is perfect so my husband put a deposit as the dealer insist. We fly to London many times to get a car. This time we need a cheap but good car that is not hard on petrol. And you can buy a cheaper one in London, to be honest. We book a flight. Then on our way back were going to drive to Scotland then take the ferry. That's the plan. I ready…
Jigz: Ma, I ask my crush out and she said yes to me. 😁 This morning, I go to their room to wake them up but Jigz was not in bed. Then he came in the front door with a flower in his hand that he picked from the garden. He's going to give it to his girl. I used to be the only one lol. He's really a big boy now but still my baby. 😊 How time flies. Parents can relate.
'Camel Ride at Jesus Beach' The man asks Tia if she wants me to go with her. Tia: No. I want to go with myself. I'm not scared! And Mommy is a little bit heavy. Just a lil bit. 🤣 It's really just for kids. But lol thank you Tia for wanting me and for the compliment.
Not to brag ladies and gentlemen but after this Quad Ride last month I felt like I'm already a professional driver! Mind you I'm flying and stunned my husband who didn't trust me that much. And for a record, I didn't hit a single tree. But lol have to use my son as a shield when on the muddy/splashy part. Tia wasn't happy with all the dirt. Hahaha. But it was fun!
2 years ago when we last visited Fethiye in Turkey I promised myself that I will try parasailing when we come back. That time it was in the beautiful Blue Lagoon. Last month we went back and this time we stayed in Datça. We went to Marmaris where this photo was taken and all I can do is to watch all the brave souls up in the air lol. Not brave enough yet. Maybe next time again. 🤣 Have you tried parasailing?
This lovely woman beside me is my holiday hero. She made my stay in the hotel feel like a real holiday. Of course, I was also looking forward to a break and that is what she gave me. I also looking forward to eat without me cooking. Mess without me cleaning and dirty the clothes without me washing. She was me on that holiday. She did my job while staying in the hotel. She kept our room tidy, sheets and towels new every day. She fold the clothes I left hanging. She refill our…
Mommy Duty gets up early so Tia can attend her classmate's birthday here at Happy Town. I already had 2 lattes since we came. I'm sitting on my own because I really don't know any of the parents. But Tia wants to come and she's enjoying it anyway so I just have to pretend I'm busy with my phone. 🤣 Happy Saturday! And tomorrow, Jigz has to attend birthday as well of his classmate so I have to get him a card and present. Next will be Mum's birthday then Jigz. 😊
'Happy Sunday' Cooking their dinner done! Just rice and fish to go for me and the kids. I have two more birthdays to attend today. It's not me but the kids but lol I have to be there too. I'm all over the place. And I'm so tired of looking for the gift I hide. I'm hiding it from Tia because she loves to open everything even if it's not hers to check. I hide it and now I can't remember where I hide it. Hahaha. Some can relate! 🤣 I hope you're having a good day! And enjoy the…
'How's it going?' It's my day off and I'm done cleaning the kid's room. Just that room and I'm knackered. It's unbelievable how they can mess up their room and hide all the dirt under the beds. I found those missing socks, sweets and crisps wrappers, dirty clothes, toys and too many to mention. Now I can't clean anymore I have to sort some things out. I'm trying to update my calendar of the list of school activities I have to keep up with. This is Jigz's last year in Primary…
Ssshhh 🤫 she's trying to concentrate. She has to do it herself because she's a big girl now (according to her). 10 more spellings to do after Math. And after that we have to practice egg relay, jumping rope and running. That's getting her ready for the Sports Day in school. And have to make them a snack and don't still know what to make for their packed lunch tomorrow. I'm going to cook it in the morning but it's not easy when you don't know what to make. And when you ask…
Just now Me: Smile, Mommy! And that's her starting doing wacky face. 🤣 I'm so grateful that God gave me an amazing mother-in-law. And oh she's full of life and I can talk about everything and anything without offending her. She's fun to be with. And she loves us all with all her heart. I always pray for her good health and lovely smile. Her 89th birthday is soon. And oh her name is June. 😊
It's Tuesday! Good morning, lovely people. Another day to be grateful. Put on your best smile and have a wonderful day! It was early cooking for me for the kids packed lunch today. I ended up with their all-time favourite white sauce pasta/carbonara. Made extra saucy and cheesy and added bacon and sausage too! Jigz wasn't happy a while ago coz their cricket match was cancelled. He's so excited about it. But surely it will be this week. I just dropped them to school and I'm…
'Tia's Cooking Time' Mommy, I'm hungry. Can I make myself something on my own? Went to the fridge and get what she needs and lol there she pulled the chair and started cooking under my supervision. Lola came to watch as well! And we all have a bite from her cheese and ham wrap. Well done, Tia! 😊 #food #cooking
'Texas Shooting: Teacher and 14 Children Killed' It's devastating and breaking my heart to watch the news just now. An 18-year-old boy shooting in an Elementary School and killed a teacher and 14 students aged 5-11. Oh, I can't imagine the pain and my heart goes to them, family. Why, oh why???? The gunman is already dead. Poor innocent children and teacher! 😭😭😭 Here's the link if you haven't seen it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61573377
What a Wednesday! It was shocking as I woke up late this morning so the kids are also late for school. I blamed myself for that lol I keep snoozing the alarm and just that I don't want to get up until I have to jump out of bed when saw the time hahaha. I fly like a rocket you'll laugh hard if you'd seen me lol. But this time I did alright with dinner so I have to share it. The vegetables are really good though it's just potato, carrots and parsley. Perfect match with my…
Shopping Day Good morning, lovely people. This will be a long day for me. I had a good black coffee to start my morning while the kids having their breakfast. I'm anticipating a good day, though it's pouring again. The kids are off to school and me to work. After that, I have to do the shopping. I brought my shopping bags. (Lol one plastic bag in Asda cost 45p now so my own bag is a must!) I should hurry coz I have school work that has to be done as Miss Tia didn't want to…
We're all getting big My kids are getting big and so am I. 🤣 I add few pounds. As Tia said I'm a lil bit heavy now. (Only a lil bit) Tia, every morning will shake my bum telling me, "Mommy, your bum is cute, it's shaking now!" Hahaha. And last night she's shaking daddy's boobies telling him that his is bigger than mine. 🤣🤣🤣 Oh, I can't stop laughing. Kids are hilarious lol
Thursdate with My Husband From morning until 11:46 pm which is our time now, I can finally lay down and I can sleep anytime coz I'm knackered but I'd like to share this first. After work, we do the grocerie shopping. After that, my husband takes me to Primark and Matalan to buy me anything I want but I don't need clothes only leggings that I ruined with bleach yesterday while cleaning. Happy days! Then he takes me to KFC and this time we eat inside. That's our date already.…
At the shop just now. An old couple is getting a machine washable runner. The man came to pay and he told me, "You know she just told me we are going to the shop and I have to bring my wallet with me." The wife laughs. "So far it cost me £40 already", said the husband. 🤣 Men should know the drill by now. We love to spend our own money but it's also nice to spend yours. 🤣 We all had a good laugh. They are in their 70s. Lovely couple.
Good morning lovely people! And what a day to start my Saturday seeing a notification like this. Everyone is surely happy now after days of delayed payouts. Yey! I have to get up after a good sleep and start doing the washing as I have mountains to do 🤣 And have to go look for the kid's costume for their Tea Party for Queen's Jubilee next week. And Sports Day. Let's all have a great day ahead. I'll grab a coffee now.
Saturday Fry I'm making fry for today's dinner. This is the easiest dinner to make coz you only have to fry everything anyway. But not for me. I make a tomato and cheese omelette then eat it with rice. Rice is life, fry is not! 😜 I'm quite happy with what I accomplished today. I tidy Mum's shed that the kids and my husband messed up. Mum is very pleased to see it, so happy days! She can walk in and out now without tripping over random things left on the floor. Much more…
Mum's Green House Mum is not fit to go down the bottom garden because she might fall again so we bought her a greenhouse where we got her 4 tomato plants and set up a chair for her to sit on. So every day she can still go out just beside the house and water the plants and sit there and have a doze if she likes. Something she loves to do. We just reminding her to be careful as the other day she fell again. My poor Mummy. She's not well since yesterday. I hope she gets better…
Tia to her Lola: Lola, I want to go on holiday again. I want to go to Disneyland and you're going too! And don't worry, it's FREEEE!!! We don't need to pay anything! I'm only listening but lol I'm wondering where she heard that going to Disney Land is free. 🤣🤷♀️ Nothing is free Tia. And we can't just hold on to the wheel of the plane and jump to Disneyland and get in for Free. We need money. 🤣
It's been a long time since I write an article in my read.cash account and I want to get back to writing again. I just publish my "Hello Again" so if you have time, I will appreciate a visit and a thumbs up is good enough for me more than a tip. 😊 https://read.cash/@tired_momma/turkey-the-second-time-around-36f52e69 Thank you so much and have a good day/night!
Tia's Sports Day is on Tuesday. They were practising in the school last week. And today we practising as well so she's ready for the big day. We don't have a sack so we used the black bag and jump doing the sack race and we keep running to see who wins and she always win to boost her confidence. She's so excited already. Parents are allowed to watch this time. Yey! We can see them in action. Last year, because of Covid we didn't see them on their Sports Day so it's nice to…
Good morning lovely people! It's Monday again and I just send the kids to school. It's an early cooking coz they want chicken nuggets but I only have mini breast fillet so this done the job. And the KFC dip comes in handy lol It's raining and such a shame because today is Jigz's Tea Party in school. Tomorrow is the Sports Day so fingers crossed it will be a good day for the kids and the family to enjoy. I'm having my coffee now. Have a lovely day!
My poor Tia, I don't know what to do. She fell asleep as soon as she comes home. I let her rest because she's tired. And when she woke up she started crying telling me that her head is sore. And she started being sick. And she has a fever now. I gave her Calpol and put this Cool Patch on her head. Not very like Tia and the Doctor is closed now. Have to ring them tomorrow. Any advice?
10:48 pm The sky is still bright. Tia always says it's not bedtime yet. We have more daylight in the summertime and it gets dark by 11 pm which is great. Tia feeling better now. She even had an ice cream coz she is sure it will help her feel better and it did. What a miracle! They put their order for tomorrow's packed lunch. They want shrimp, spam and sausage with rice. And tuna sandwich for a snack but not for Tia. She said just apple and yoghurt. So there you go I just…
Tia and Jigz off to school. It's Tia's Sports Day she woke up in good form although she didn't let me sleep last night as I'm trying to monitor her temperature. She said she's okay and want to go to school. She's excited for it and look at her team colour.. GREEN!!! Yey! And Jigz's Sports Day will be tomorrow. And he is in the multi-coloured team! Happy students will be all around the school with their proud parents. The day is great for the event too. What a blessing!
