Little Workers Happy 1st of July everyone! The kids are off school now and officially on their summer holiday. Momma is working so I take them with me, of course with my Boss's permission. Teach them young. Lol, isn't it hard work Tia? She already eyeing for one to take home with her. And Jigz is already away to the tech and games shop and brought back a Nintendo controller. Good thing I'm wise enough to bring snacks with us. They can't tell me they want food. I brought…
Nakakamiss si Rusty. Sarap kaya makita yung Random Rewarder tip your posts ng sunud sunod at kakamiss din yung nakaset yung minimum payout ng $3 dito sa noise. Ngayon in a week na sya. From $3 naging $1 ngayong $.50 na lang. Hahaha. Ang hirap kitain! Pero masaya pa rin. San ka ba naman ba makakakuha ng free money sa pagpost post lang. Sa FB nga waley, naubos na data at oras mo wala man lang binalik sayo. Kakamiss noh?
Better than Tip! Lovely customer bought Tia and Jigz an ice cream. The two assisted her in choosing a hall runner for her house and she is very pleased with their service. She gave them £2 each to buy ice cream but when she comes to them and told it £3 for ice cream, I told her I will pay the rest and she said, "Oh no, this is my treat." Lovely woman. She made the kid's day and mine. God bless her more. Good little workers, I've got here! 😊
School just finished yesterday but here I am already checking out uniforms. Already bought Tia her PE trainers coz there's a sale at Clarks so I got them for half the price. I already got Jigz a scientific calculator and a math set of instruments. I just hate last-minute shopping then I end up with nothing when it's needed. So next week I'm going to buy the school uniform and shoes. I just have to make sure that the shoes will fit rightly for September. Never too early. It's…
It's a wee bit late to say good morning. But I was up early to tidy up the front garden after the husband cut the hedge and spray some weed killer. Still loads to do and haven't done the lane yet. Sharing with you the view of the fields. It's lovely when it's green. Let's enjoy and relax this Saturday!
Dinner is Ready Cooking while cleaning. Glad cooking is done and we are having early dinner today. It's mashed potato vs rice again. Have of both worlds lol. What you made today? #cooking #food
Cooking the all-time favourite Shrimp Carbonara Extra cheesy for the kiddos. Wait till the cheese melts ahh it's so good! And for dinner, I'm cooking nilaga. I have so many wardrobes to sort out today. I thought rest days and summer holidays would be an easy time for me but looks like I got more to do having the kids 24/7. Then they also want me to take them to the park. And go to the ice cream shop. 🤣 I should send them back to school ASAP. How are you doing, today?…
Let them fold their own mountain of clothes so that they know how to be careful next time. Let them sort what's small for them and what to give away. That's now their job. 😊 Oh no! That's Momma's job. They will help a wee bit because she's small and gets tired easily. That's according to Miss Tia. 🤣
Pork-Shrimp Siomai I don't know what possesses me to cook siomai in the middle of the night. Lol, I'm not even hungry. But I want to put this in noodles that I will make in the morning. I missed Chowking's Wonton Soup! Higop na higop na ako madlang people! 🤣🤣🤣
A not so early morning greeting, lovely people! Just plain black coffee to wake myself up and a hot scone with butter and strawberry to start my day. We typically, say I'm going to do this tomorrow. I'll be productive tomorrow. I will eat healthy tomorrow. I will try and exercise tomorrow. I'll be saving tomorrow. But often we say, I'm gonna do it today. Why not? Why you can't? Say your excuse. We have too many.
After work went straight to cooking. I just finish now and I'm so glad I can sit. My legs and feet feel like jelly now. I've been standing from 7 am and it's nearly 4 now. And here comes Tia, "Can you play ball with me outside, Mommy?" I ask for 5 minutes just to rest. She's standing in front of me now waiting. 🤣
Beans on Toast Oh, Brits love this! Everyone here love beans on toast except me. This is my husband's late-night snack a while ago. But I've been here so long I don't have the palate to try it. Have you tried it? Do you like it? (I will go to bed early. I told my husband my body is sore. It's just that I lift and roll too many big rugs today at work. And my husband said he will massage me. 😁 Happy days!
What a beautiful day! The sun is shining brightly and the Scrabo in front of me looks better without clouds covering it. It's been like that for days so today is a change. I have no little workers with me today to work because they stayed up late last night. I go grab a coffee now. Ahhh, need to wake up good. Black coffee, please! How are you? How's your day? Is it shining or raining there?
I just remember the reason why I felt like I'm not well-rested despite the husband's massage last night is Tia. Like in the middle of the night she started jumping on her bed onto the floor and laughing out loud while everybody is sleeping. And she said she can't sleep and jumping will help her get tired and she will sleep after the jump. I told her to count sheep instead but she said she can only count up to 20. 🤣 Oh my piggy heart! I hope the school is open now. I could…
Shopping Day It's this day again and lol Tia reminded us to buy her cat, cat food. We don't even own that cat. 🤣 And so it's already included in the list. I should charge her for that.
Triple Cheeseburger! Date at Scrabo with my husband. There are many here today having a walk with their kids, some with their dogs and some are old couples. I love the view from here while eating. ❤
Tia is super excited when she heard the cat outside and hurried to show the treats we got. And together with Jigz, they open a packet and feed the cat while petting it. ❤❤❤
We're not having a good night. Still far from home and the tire is flat. No jack with us. Now waiting for my brother-in-law to bring the jack and wheel brace. Glad, we have a spare tire. 🤦🏿♀️🤷♀️
My beautiful succulents with their babies. So cute, they are growing! I need to replant soon. And you see them flowering. Oh, gorgeous! They making me smile. 😍 #plants #flowers #gardening
We've got this folding picnic table yesterday to bring with us on our holiday as we are going camping as well. It's very handy and as you can see with our model having her breakfast, it does the job!
Tent Check! 💯 I'm busy today sorting things out for going away next week. Then tried to find this tent that had not been used for years to see if still okay to use and still is! Look for the pump-up bed only find one. We couldn't find the other bed. Though we have sleeping bags. We had Margherita and Pepperoni Pizza 🍕. That's frozen pizzas that I just stick in the oven. And since we love cheese I put extra cheese on the Margherita. Also, tonight been with Mum and Tia while…
Sunday Cooking Tia wants spaghetti (red and sweet with cheese). Jigz wants rice with egg and fried tuna. Mum wants anything with boiled potatoes and Brussels sprouts. My husband wants fish finger. Lol the chef is in the house. #cooking #food
Filipino, Italian, British Haha, what a dining table with different dishes on a plate. Made with love by yours truly. Gutum na gutom ako bago makatapos. Of course it's a rice for me too! Let's eat, everyone. Magkakamay lang ako. 😁
Tia: Thank you, Mommy for making me my spaghetti. This is my favourite and the shrimp! It's all over her face. Only shows that she's enjoying her spaghetti, lol. ❤❤❤
Waxing Gibbous Phase This is the moon tonight here in Northern Ireland. Upon checking Google, it's called the 'Waxing Gibbous' in this phase. It's between a half-moon and a full moon. Isn't it captivating? 😍
Jigz wants to go to the cinema with his friends to watch Minions 2: The Rise of Gru and here I am at nearly 2 am just booked for 4 of them. They will take the bus and surely they will enjoy it tomorrow.
Ready for the bonfire tonight! See how that massive bonfire is made? Not easy. Every town has a bonfire ready to be lit. I can't believe it's this day again. The Twelfth is tomorrow and we have the bands all around every town. Did you remember that from my last year's post? Oh wow, we've been here for a long time now. A blessed morning, lovely people. 😊
The roses bloom once again. I particularly love the white rose but the red is also special. My late father-in-law planted this years ago and still blooms. He's gone but his flowers stay with us. And just randomly capture the fly on top of the daisy. 📷
Bonfire all over Northern Ireland Oh, I can tell you it's hot in here! This is the night before The Twelfth, everyone is out to watch the bonfire. The firetruck is just around the corner in case the fire gets out of control. 🔥
It's The Twelfth!!! Our hat is ready lol. Here's me, Mum and Tia. Now off to see the band parade in Ballygowan. Jigz went with his friends. So it's just us. Big crowd starting to gather up now.
Look at the crowd here on every corner of the street! Everyone is looking at Tia and smiling lol. She's well-dressed for the occasion!
The Twelfth Here comes the band and here comes your favourite. The men wearing kilts while playing their bagpipes.
Sorry to flood you it's a long parade and lol I have to take selfies. 😁 My legs are already sore standing but still managing. If I knew it was like this I should bring a chair for us!
My Google Storage is full. So I started deleting photos. I selected more than 1000 photos and click delete. Then it went to the bin. Then I want it permanently deleted so I go to the bin to empty it. BUT I CLICK THE RESTORE BUTTON!!! 😤😤😤 Momma is not happy.
Good morning, lovely people! I can tell you how lazy I feel right now. But lol we have to go to work. I will have my choffee first. Today will be quiet, my Boss already told me that. He said I could just chill lol. That's how cool my Boss is! My other boss is still on Canary Island for his 2 weeks holiday. Then me start on Friday and my other boss next week. So we all have a go on our summer break. 😁 So for now, have to make money.
As soon as I came home from work, my Tia gave me this. She said she was a good girl asking if I bring her some sweeties and glad I have some in my bag and reward her for such a lovely drawing. How sweet, my little girl is! ❤❤❤
Sweet Tia writing her birthday card for Jigz's birthday on Saturday. She write a lovely message for him. She also draw herself and Jigz together with hearts. ❤❤❤
Do you love your parents? We all love our parents and want the best for them. Looking back on their hardship and sacrifices to keep us all fed and with a roof on our heads, I can tell you this is never enough. But seeing them smile and having the comfort of their life at their age is our responsibility. Me and my siblings we never forget family and how we should help out each other, especially our Senior parents. Everyone helps. Everyone gives. Everyone looks after them. And…
My niece when she's hungry vs after she eats. Hahaha. I can also relate. Promise, when I'm hungry everyone knows in the house. There will be signs and you will see it in my face. 🤣🤣🤣 Just like her. And yes that's my sister. 😁
Welcome aboard! Yey! We're on the European Causeway now. 2 hours from Larne (Northern Ireland) to Cairnryan (Scotland). Then 10 hours drive to Haven in Exmouth, Devon. This will be a long journey. Road trip! But first, let's cross the sea. The kids already found their place to lie on. 😁
4 hours driving. 4 hours sitting. 6 more hours to go. My bum is sore. The kids are sleeping. I can't sleep and I shouldn't be sleeping while my husband is driving. So here we are shaking our bodies while playing our playlist. Hands up, not the driver lol. Oh we love Pit Bull's • Fireball • Timber • Greenlight • Don't stop the party And many more AronChupa and Lil Sis Nora's • I'm an Albatroz • Little Swing • Llama in my Living Room • The woodchuck song Oh and my other…
My Papa and Mama sent me pictures of their trip to Bohol. They've been to many places today. Lol ay kasexy naman ni mother earth! Kinabog ako. 🤣
'Supermoon' The Moon tonight here in Devon. I'm watching it now in front of our balcony. It's beautiful! It's huge and shining brightly in the sky. It's orange here! Glad to take this shot to share with yous all. Can you see it now from where you are?
Haven at Devon Cliff After a long, bum-numbing journey yesterday we finally arrived at Devon Cliff. We stayed in Haven Caravan Park. It's a massive site and we had a long walk and got lost trying to find our caravan before we checked in for our scheduled time. We haven't been near the beach yet. I will share yous more around.
Happy Birthday Jigz Happy Birthday to my son. He is 12 now! I get up early so I can prepare for this special day since we are in a beautiful place. Let's enjoy your birthday! ❤❤❤
We are in different places but still, I'm a Mom here. Officer in charge. The cook. The carrier. The groomer. The cleaner. All around. First to get up last to prepare myself. I made Chicken Pastel last night and made British breakfast this morning. ( toast, beans, egg and ham). They will not be full if we are just eating pizza. And I'm not going to be full without rice lol
Having Fun They had a go at Bunjee Trampoline Jumping! They are both flying, both enjoy it. Tia said Wuhoooo I'm flying. Big smile. Going now to The big Jump for the birthday boy.
Sandy Bay Last night after having our dinner at South Beach Cafe I went to the seaside while the kids are playing in the sandy play area in front and took pictures. First time I was able to see the beach here and was stunned by the view of the cliff and the sea. We are planning to go there today bring our picnic blanket and let the kids play and swim. It's lovely to see that many Filipinos are here too. ❤ Happy Sunday, everyone!
First time in an open-top double-decker bus! The view here is awesome. We are going to explore the town centre of Exmouth. Oh my, Tia said we're so high up. We can see everything and lol find the child who's flying while bungee jumping.
What's in here? Still on the double-decker bus and let me share what I'm seeing from up here. I'm just going to take yous with me.
Exmouth Town A little walk about the place. Exploring the town centres. Checking out shops.
We run late for this Make a Bear activity. Went to the wrong one as I booked for a Party one but lol no worries Tia enjoying it! She chooses a bunny to make so she can show it to Thumper when we go home. She's serious while doing it. And the final touch she makes her very own shirt with her lovely drawing. It's a permanent fabric pen so that's not going to come off. Look at that smile after! ❤
Look at these houses! You don't always see this every day. We visited this village yesterday and it's lovely. Tia said: This is my house only they kicked me out. 🤣🤣🤣 She must have not paid the rent. Lol
'Dream Garden' We went to see the Dunster Medieval Village & Castle in Exmoor. But before that we visited this lovely garden with the Church at the background. Plantitas will surely love this place! Wait till you see the castle and village.
Dunster Castle This castle has been here for more than 1000 years! I'm stunned while checking out every room. The beds really make you feel like royalty! And the grand details of the ceiling, the staircase and mostly everything. Look at the dining hall. They were living the dream here!
Still in Dunster Castle It's £32.50 for a family to get in here £13 per adult. It's a fortress to a family home sitting on the hill. Perfect place for a castle! This is owned by two families and it ended up to the Trust because they can't keep up with the government dues. This way the thousand years of history of this castle can be preserved.
Still at Dunster Castle Do you think they will have a bigger toilet than this? lol Thinking it's a castle. But I love the bath tub!
And these chairs are older than us. Older than our grandparents lol That's why we are not allowed to sit or touch it.
Dunster Castle How about a garden inside the castle with a lovely view of the fields and all the greens outside? And oh more gardens! In our dreams. But this is for real!
Pa awra! And this view outside the castle. This is just on one side and the whole place is surrounded by these beauties. They give away some of the lands to farmers as we are told. They own a massive land, the family who owns this before they give this castle to the Trust.
Blackpool We are back in Blackpool, lovely people! Seems like yesterday when we were here the last time and I'm sure you've seen this place already from my posts so bear with me. 😁
It's always beautiful at night in Blackpool with all the lights lit up. I love the tower that changes its colour and can't wait to ride again The Big Wheel at Central Pier. 😊
Music to my ears: We are at Primark. We've been to TK Maxx but it's too dear for me. I keep looking for bargains but there's none. Primark is affordable. Inside the shop my husband said, "You can get anything you want. " Me: Big smile up to my ears. 😁 Who doesn't want free shopping? And to reciprocate that sweet gesture I told him he can get anything he wants to and I'll treat him to a Steak dinner. We are both happy.
We are at the South Pier in Blackpool last night. There's North and Central Pier all is good but this one got more rides. Jigz stayed in the room cos his feet is sore for our whole day of walking about. And mine too, only Tia wants to go for rides. And so we take her. You know before, Tia won't go on any rides same as me. I don't like rides. But she started to go and insist she will try which is very good. And as you can see in the picture she's enjoying it. I have to go…
A rare photo of Momma getting drunk 🤣🤣🤣 I shouldn't be posting this, it's a bad influence lol but my husband can't stop laughing at what I did last night. Last night, the adults are drinking. They always have a pint at night. My husband is not a drinker anyway. And I don't know where I get the confidence to order an apple cider. 🤣 After drinking a glass lol my body gets numb. And my husband said, • I keep singing loud on the street! (sweet Caroline tutu tu) • I keep saying…
Last time a man in a sexy dress wearing high heels. Today a man wearing a nappy. 🤣 Some things you don't normally see every day. Welcome to Blackpool!
The money you spend on amusement just to get a stuffed toy lol. Sometimes better buying the toys in the shop but there's no fun in it. And here's the fairytale horse carriage again!
We're home! Holidays over. Back to work tomorrow. But before we left England we went to Leeds to visit my Auntie Rona and her daughter, Ruth. She's Mum's sister. This is my first time visiting her as she always comes to visit us in Northern Ireland. They are very happy to see us all. And Mum is very happy that we stop over to see them. Mum is glad we are home. And we are glad that we are. It's been raining again here. Lol. Missing the sun already.
1:39 am now and I really tried hard to write and publish an article after 3 days. I'm sharing this food and view with all of you. It's called South Beach Cafe in Devon Cliffs Haven. Check it out when you got time. https://read.cash/@tired_momma/devon-cliffs-south-beach-cafe-food-and-view-1f1a105d Many thanks. ❤
Another tooth out One by one her milk teeth will be permanent ones. But this girl enjoyed pulling the tooth out herself whenever it starts moving and she knows when it was coming out. She just pulled it and smile saying, "Yey it's out!" She doesn't care if she got another missing tooth. 🤣 Or not even hurt when it bleeds. Lol, she's brave, I can't do that at that age. She knows now what to ask Santa for Christmas.😁
Why can't you just remain green? Lol, Here we go again. Up, down, up down. Oh well, it's time to buy for some. Who buys when it's less than $100 and made a good profit? Well done!
Tia last night, "Mommy, can I go back to school tomorrow?" "I missed my friends so much." Me: Tia, the school will not be open until September so you have to wait. Tia: How many more days? Me: 30+ days Tia: But I'm bored. Can we go to Disneyland instead? Me: We have to save first. And it's very far. Tia: But I have lots of money. (Run to her room and get her money box of 1 and 2 pence, not even a fivers worth) Tia: You see? I will pay for everyone. I'm rich. 🤣🤣🤣
Every morning is good Only sometimes you're not in the mood Every day is a blessing Only you are blinded by problems. So say a little thank you Lift your spirit up Put a big smile on your face And have a grateful heart! Good morning and have a wonderful day! ❤❤❤
The tomatoes are growing and so are the strawberries! I pick some a while ago and made our own keto strawberry ice cream using double cream, cream cheese, coconut milk and stevia for the first time. Can't wait to harvest the tomatoes! They'll soon be ready. 😊
What a lovely green day! It's great to see this good pump more than 20% whoah. This lit up my face as soon as I woke up. My account is on its way to recovery. Stay there. Stay.
There are so many beautiful things I know and tonight it's in front of me. And I'm like an audience watching this scene in wonder. The beauty of the nightfall. And the dramatic white roses as an extra. The day ended so beautifully. The night started so magically.
My Pretentious Snack Who loves salad? This is my first time ordering one. And this is my first time at Subway. You know, I don't know how to order at Subway and many times I wanted to try their sandwich. But I'm too scared and to look stupid at the same time coz I don't know what to say. But I'm not at my best yesterday/today and don't really care today so I went to Subway and order a salad (just started the keto diet). I told her(the staff) I never ordered before and I…
It's a perfect picture of Tia taken with the tractor carrying silage for the cows in the background. She just want to take pictures with the white roses as they started to fall off. Then the tractor passed and glad I was able to click it on time. Inside the tractor, if you can see a young boy and his dad. The wee boy waves after that! He is smiling too. 😁
My mother-in-law always says, "Never think that you are better than others. We are all the same." The colour of our skin and the language we speak may be different but we are all called human beings. And having money and calling yourself rich, don't give you the authority to be arrogant and look down upon others. Coz one day we all gonna die and your money will not do anything for you. Maybe can prolong your life but can't save you from death. So live humbly and lift others.…
Napaemo ako bigla missing my family back home so I deleted na lang my last post baka mapahagulgul pa ako. So mag shoot the ball in a hole na lang tayo para masaya. Sharing our fun time at Crazy Golf at Haven. https://read.cash/@tired_momma/family-fun-at-the-crazy-golf-0a78da31
Chicken Pastel This is a dish that I cook at least once a week. This is the only one that my husband loves to eat with rice. So we all eat the same. This is nearly done just the green peas to go and it will be ready to serve. #cooking
