I hear you! *checks there’s a bottle in the fridge* 😉
Brilliant!
Well done you. A well deserved glass of wine is definitely in order!
#AllAboutYou
Thank you! I think the odd cheeky glass wine is always in order 😉
Ohhh how I wish I could join you as chief wine taster!! Fab post! xx
Won’t be long now hun! *counts on fingers* x x
That sounds about right. Hugs x
Thanks Susan it seems to have struck a chord with a few of us! Hugs back atcha x
Lovely list! I like the wikipedia and wine taster the most!
Had to have a cheeky private chuckle myself
Yes cheers indeed! I’m tired just reading it all!!!!!

Aren’t we amazing the number of different roles we manage to pack into each day! Thanks for your comment
I know what you mean! Thanks for reading x
So funny, but all true. The last one is also my favourite role of all.
Thanks Izzie! It’s a popular choice that one 😉
So many roles so little time..great list
Thanks honey – it was fun to put together!
Oh this sounds so familiar, but my favourite role is that very last one, which makes all the other roles so much easier to bear 😉
I need a bit more practise with that last role I think… just to be sure I’m really doing my best work, you know 😉
Haha! Fab post! I often wonder how I made it to the end of each day too! x
Thanks Katy – it’s exhausting just thinking about the roles we play each day but we make it through – and sometimes with lipstick too!
So many things to add to the CV!! Go mamas! Nice one hon xx
It stuns me that the multi-tasking that ALL mothers do day in and day out isn’t recognised as a legitimate cv addition actually! Thanks for your lovely comment x
Totally changes in teenage years to Ogre, Oldie, out of touch blocker of freedom etc. to when they are married and become parents then it is confidante, baby sitter, wise person, she who has patience, saint etc.! Enjoy!
I’m sure! Definitely don’t want to wish this time away though – every moment is still precious
*applauds*
You are a super woman. I hope you enjoyed every drop of that wine 😉
I think we’re all super-women! The number of roles we play in one day is mind-boggling. And yes I tool my final role very seriously 😉
