Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the first 2-5 words at the top of the closest printed matter.” Open (if necessary) the closest printed matter to you. Use the first 2-5 words at the top of the page any way you’d like in your post. Have fun!

Letter from kid’s school,

“I am delighted to inform…”

Oh to receive a letter with the above words, followed by “…you that your book is on a bestseller list/ being made into a movie.” Or “… you that you have won a huge amount of money in a lottery!”

I can dream, can’t I?

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “bagged.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

I love a bargain. Don’t you?

Ever since my daughter introduced me to Shein, I have excitedly trawled their site to find things that are cheap and cheerful but I rarely order since it takes an age to arrive.

However I have a party to attend in a couple of weeks, and I wanted to get a new dress. I found one that looked quite pretty on there, then found myself scrolling through the slogan tee-shirts.

If you know me, you’ll know I love a slogan tee-shirt, and well, one dress became that plus a few tee-shirts… I ended up ordering 6 tee-shirts as well as the dress, for quite a bargain price!

Then I happened upon BloomChic… another online clothing retailer. and lo and behold another 2 dresses were ordered.

I’ve received the first order and love the tee-shirts!

Awaiting the second delivery with more dresses before I decide which to wear, but all in all, I bagged some great bargains!

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “make a note.” Do with it what you will. Have fun!

This feels like a very apt prompt for me, right now.

Some of you will have read my Chai Post a couple of weeks ago, detailing the decline of my memory, as I head into Peri-Menopause.

I find myself constantly reminding myself to make a note of everything I am told because I will forget it, if not. My phone calendar is being used more than ever.

I have notepads everywhere, too! Work lists, shopping lists, home lists, calendars, diaries… the list of my notes and lists is endless!

It’s a wonder I manage to remember how to get home!

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Scrambling to write a preamble to this ambling post…

Did I really just write that? Can you see how frazzled my brain is, right now?

Linda’s SoCS prompt.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “product/produce.” Use one, use them both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use both. Have fun!

We are a product of our upbringing, don’t you agree?

And we in turn produce those who will continue this world, long after we are gone.

So is it not our duty to ensure we are instilling good values, kindness and compassion, independence, and the ability to aacces and use common sense in our children?

Sorry. Strange, but totally SoCS!
