 3731631962_7f3d7a3ec9_b

A few months have passed now since i started my blog and i thought i'd share with you some facts that you may or may not know about me. 

Alot of bloggers put a post up like this - so that we can give you a little insight to who we are, what we like and dont like and basically to share that we are just like you! 

So here goes.. my 50 facts about me.

 

  1. I LOVE Summer! And this is most probably at number 1 - because i have not felt my toes since i got out of bed this morning where i woke up to a freezing 3 degrees! 
  2. Coffee is my salvation! I love it, adore it, it makes everything a bit better
  3. I'm a Virgo - which apparently means that i should be super organised and a type A personality ( they really should review this after having children ) as Steve believes i've turned into a bit of a fairy since having kids!
  4. I was born with pneumonia
  5. I love reality tv - i know it's hard to admit it but i cant wait for little Jack to go to bed where i can then look up all my saved episodes of Masterchef, The Block, Real Housewives of NYC or Melbourne and my brain can switch off and just be entertained
  6. I failed my licence the first time :(
  7. I'm obsessed with Google. Google has helped in many of debates in the house of McLean's. 
  8. I'm petrified of horror movies. give me a romcom any day
  9. Going on a plane is not my favourite thing to, do but the destination is my motivation

  11. I want to kill my alarm clock every morning 
  12. I used to speak in different languages in my sleep when i was little
  13. I proposed to Steve! ( yes, i couldn't be bothered waiting a decade for him to pop the question!)
  14. I'm more of a dog person than a cat person
  15. I love tattoos! and plan on getting more and more and more 
  16. One of my favourite places in the world is Bali - maybe i will live there in my twilight years
  17. My children are my life but i must admit i'm not the type of mum that wants their kids at her feet all the time. 
  18. There is 18 years between hubby and i. 
  19. I can't stand being told what to do
  20. I never had wisdom teeth ( lucky me!) 
  21. Nothing beats great converstaion with people. I love finding out peoples "stories" and what make them tick.
  22. I dont have a savings account 
  23. Smiths Orginal Crinkle chips are my all time favourite snack
  24. I dont ever want to die. I'm so scared of the idea
  25. There are sharks in the ocean - i dont like to swim there

  30. i have recently ended my addiction with purchasing kitchen containers. 
  31. I smoke -  to my mother's dismay :(

  44. God help you if you try and wake me when i'm asleep!
  45. I'm the youngest Cheryl i know - most other Cheryl's are little grannys

20 meal ideas for those that hate cooking

 It's quite ironic that I decided a few weeks ago to ease myself into the fad of meal planning. I was so sick of thinking of ideas of meals of what to make and Steve was no help as when i asked him,"what you want for dinner?" his answer was always" whatever you want". Grrrrrrrrrrr - uncommitted. So one afternoon with a cup of some alcoholic description, i went into my think tank which is my brain, and wrote down my repertoire of meals that i know how to make.  Now this will look different for every household. After scribbling away for some minutes, I realised that i actually can make quite a variety of meals quite well, without poisoning the family.  Before #IsoLyf took over, I had been quite a fan of click and collect either from Woolies or Coles when we lived in Melbourne. For whatever reason I stopped doing it since our tree-change to the farm which was quite silly as we now lived out of the main hub of Sunraysia and click and collect would have definitel

I had a hysterectomy at 37 years of age

 This coming Wednesday will mark four weeks since my hysterectomy. It has been a long journey coming – this hysterectomy and with all the ailments that I had experienced over the last 20 years, including low grade cervical cancer, I could not have been happier seeing my uterus ripped out and put in the bin. That said, I am grateful that these organs allowed me to birth my two sons. They are the joys and absolute headaches of my life. I would (like most mothers I am sure) take a bullet for them and they always know that sanctuary of any sort will always be home for them. But a hysterectomy at 37 you say? Yes, I do admit that Google will tell you that this surgery is quite early in my life, but after two decades of agony, constant pain, bloating to the size of looking like I am six months pregnant and the fact that I had finished have all the children that I desired, it really was a no brainer. We live in rural Victoria. Our main town, Mildura has a hospital, and I was aware that give

Do not write blog post when you have had a couple of wines

 It's been a bad day.  Not a travesty, but a day of anxiety, overload of emotions, countless puffs from many a ciggies and all in all just a bleh.  Where the fuck has 2020 gone? How did we get from free world to lockdown and oppressions and wearing masks???? I  burnt my 2020 planner, close with my 2020 diary, because why the fuck, hey? Let's just write this year off as a mistake on a humanity scale and start fresh in 2021.  Funnily enough, I bought a $4 2021 diary. So there may be hope. My beloved is struggling. Which  means that I am struggling, Seeing him in pain, no sleep, swelling joint agony, depression and all the things that entail chronic illness. I'm at a loss as to how to help him, I just sit and be with him and tell him every day that i will be by his side till the rest of my days.  At least 2020 has shown us this: What actually is important in our life, What actually matters, like really really matters,  The latest model car or other new appliance upgra
