At my ripe old age of 51, I just bought a bikini to wear on the beach in Spain. Never, in a gazillion years would I have thought this would be me, with my old body ravaged with stretch marks from 3 pregnancies, but the saying is true. At a certain age, you just don't give a F$%&
Anyone else in South Africa have PTSD from water restrictions? Like when you're watching a movie and they leave the shower or kitchen tap running and walk away. I get irrationally annoyed at the water wastage and shout at the screen to turn the tap off.
I'm grateful for my husband, going through this together means that some days we laugh hysterically at the absurdity of just how fucked we are financially and other days we hold each other through the tears.
2 weeks to go and I start a new decade. I have decided that it's gonna start with fuck it, why not. I just applied for a job in the Mediterranean. My 50's are gonna be filled with taking chances and no regrets.
Just blocked someone who tried to engage with me, he wasn't rude or anything but he had the old South African flag as his profile pic. Sorry dude I want nothing to do with that.
I got my first "If you are from South Africa, why are you white" today. Also got told my English is very good ๐คชI said I hope so because it's my first language. ๐

To all my friends on here. Please don't feel the need to apologize for the Karen memes or sensor yourself for my benefit. I'm not egotistical enough to think that they are about me personally nor am I a delicate flower. Post them, I'll laugh with you. ๐๐ป๐น
People who are or have been married, let's do a thread of your favourite wedding photo. I just love looking at beautiful dresses and happy faces. Mine...
Tried to flirt with husband and failed miserably, we both ended up laughing. I said "Look I was trying to be sexy Ok"
He says "You don't have to try to be, you just are"

Every morning I open my eyes and think, I really should start exercising but I'm lazy so I put it off for tomorrow. It's been 11yrs now. At least my procrastination game is strong.

We have arrived at our guest house for the weekend. Our room has its own lounge, bathroom, balcony and we have a sea view and a mountain view from our bed ๐
I will scream this all year: SLIDE INTO YOUR TWITTER CRUSHโS DMS. Life is too short. It can lead to really magical things. Or it may not work out. Either way, you miss all the shots you donโt take!
You see the one on the far left holding the award. That's mine ๐I'm so proud of his journey. From retrenchment in SA to attending (and his company winning) a prestigious award at the Savoy in London.
