I'm laying here in my bedroom with the window wide open. I live in the countryside so can hear nothing but the rumble of combines and heavy tractors them going through the village every once in a while.

Thought I'd pop on back to steemit for a quickie. Nothing more than a quick hello to those friends, old and new. I have some holiday coming up from my day job next week so I hope to then find a bit of

I do a lot of fundraising for charities close to my heart. Two in particular are my children's school and also the Special Care Baby Unit at my local hospital. Here's my story why.... My son needed the

But ... But .... But ... People use the word far too much it seems. "I'd do that BUT I don't really know what to do" - well then learn. "I want to go there BUT I don't have a passport."

So I've looked in my wardrobe and I have a whole heap of things. Some are clear favourites and some are things that can obviously only be worn for special times like ball dresses. There are some garments

So I thought we should see if we could write a good story between us all in 24 hours. Everyone that happens to come across this post just need to write a sentence (or many if you want!) and let's see what

Make sure you take talcum powder with you. When you come off the beach you just sprinkle that onto your legs and feet and the sand just rubs straight off. None of that horrid grains on sand in your shoes

So a few years ago, people were doing the Ice Water Bucket Challenge. Take a look at our one! We like to do things a little different in our family. We sent our donation and it raised a little awareness

So this was a photograph I took 3 years ago of my toiletry stash. All those random presents you receive through the year seem to include some kind of "smelly" in it. Now I don't know whether

Well go on then. Carry on reading to find out more. This is one of my favourite quotes from the film Shirley Valentine. My mum and I used to watch it many times , (back in the day when it was on VHS!)

I really enjoy trying to find the silver lining to bad situations. Positive things can come out of even the darkest moments in our lives. We are on this earth for such a short time so make the most of

So there are lots of people on here that have started to form friendships and connections. Maybe they knew each other before #steemit or perhaps they've just come to chat more on here. I thought it might

Yes you read that correctly. I'm a stripper. It's something that needs to be done and I'm very good at it. I have impressed many people with how fast I am even though had limited experience beforehand.

So I work a "normal" job and I'm also a mum 24/7 however I'm also a Phoenix Trader. I sell greeting cards and gift wrap and to me that was an ideal part time job. I can do as much or as little

So I'm intrigued. How did you pick your username? Mine was chosen years ago when my I was a mere young girl. (I'm now 31 so not sure when I'll have to change it to novaOAP) I had a nova as my first car

I love this quote and it's quite apt for this site at the moment. Just keep posting and commenting on other posts.

I thought it might be an idea to see if we could set up some kind of challenge. The idea is that you create yourself a task that you really have been putting off but know it needs doing. People then check

Just a quick post before I drag myself out of bed. A huge good morning to you all. (Or perhaps even good night for those in different parts of the world.) Hope you all have a lovely day.

Welcome to The Steemit Arms Pull up a seat and enjoy the ambiance of this lovely drinking and eating establishment. I have a buffet out for the opening nights so all I need now are some customers. Who

So does it? To me it absolutely does if I'm talking about a slice of cake or my bank balance. I'd like it to be as big as possible however at the moment it's usually just above average on both counts.
