“No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.” – Charles Dickens
‘Tis the time to wish goodwill to all, and Spidey and I loved this quote from Dickens.
We may not feel we have much to ‘give’ to the world, but a shoulder to cry on, an ear available to listen, a word of advice, is free to you, and could be a priceless gift to someone out there.
Think upon that as you ponder what you are giving for Christmas this year.
Have a Serene Sunday Peeps!

Thank you Anna for thinking of me for this award!
I have been lucky enough to receive this before, but I would like to share your post as thanks, and I will answer your given questions!
Did you ever attend a blogger event and which one (if not which one would you like to attend)?
Oh yes I did! I have been lucky enough to attend the Annual Bloggers Bash Awards in London the past two years and I aim to be there for the next one too! It was awesome to meet some of the bloggers who I admire so much!
Do you have pets and what kind of pets are they (if not would you like a pet)?
I have the wonderful Sonu Singh, our Punjabi cat, and my parrotlet pair, Heer and Ranjha!
What are you most proud of?
My children, Lil Man and Lil Princess – fur and feather babies included!
What is your favourite blogpost and why?
I have been asked this before, and I really don’t have a favourite blog post! So many of them strike a chord as there was a reason why I felt compelled to write them!
If you could stock up one thing for a lifetime supply what would that be?
It would have to be Maltesers Chocolate!
Thank you again Anna!!!
I haven’t done much Blogger Awards/Tags in a while. When Jasmine from Thoughts From Jasmine nominated me for The Mystery Blogger Award, I thought I’d do another one. I really like the t…

Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week…
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “cramp.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
Cramp…
So many things come to mind when I think of cramp.
Firstly, it’s that general accompaniment to the monthly ‘blessing’ that women get. I’ve been lucky to not have really experienced them badly, but they are debilitating for some ladies out there. All you want to do is curl up with a hot water bottle and wither away until Aunt Flo has disappeared!
Then there is that cramp you get in your leg. Again, not one I get often, but it affects my sleep sometimes as when Hubby Dearest gets a cramp in his leg in the middle of the night, the groans are insufferable, and then I have to get up to help him stretch it out!
Writer’s cramp – there’s another one that us bloggers and writers don’t want to suffer from, but thankfully not as many of us spend hours grasping a writing tool, so much as tapping away at a keyboard, to aid our craft. But then again, because we write physically with a pen much less, the cramp is more likely to hit quicker, when we do!
Cramped spaces was another thought that came to mind. Cosy. I like cosy places, but cramped is another matter; when you are made to be near other people or objects, against your will… The Tube is a place which, during rush hour is really cramped. If you are lucky, you may get a seat, or else you are left hanging on to a bar or handle, or possibly wedged between other commuters; that being the only support you have to prevent you from being thrown around as the carriages move along.
Right, I’m off now… don’t wanna cramp my style, waffling on about cramp!
Happy Saturday Peeps!

Charli’s prompt this week:
November 30, 2017 prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes self-care. Does the character need it? What does the character do? Think about how you can use this action to deepen a character or move a story. Go where the prompt leads.
New Mum SOS
The crying was relentless, but who else was going to do anything?
He was at work all day, he needed his sleep.
She was exhausted.
“It’s okay,” they all said, “just sleep when the baby does. You’ll be fine!”
What world did they live in? Self-care with a newborn…? Impossible.
When was she meant to do the housework, the laundry, the cooking, if not when the little mite was taking his precious naps?
But after thirteen weeks of sleepless nights and little support from anyone, she was ready to muffle the cries with the pillow currently covering her head…
