Just Five? Well ok, so that is as many as I care to admit to in this post!
But for heavens sake girls, tell me why, oh why do we have to feel guilty about so much?
Maybe its my age, but I think, if it makes you feel happy, if it makes you smile, then simply throw out the guilt and enjoy yourself! Life is just too short dont you think?
I confess to feeling guilty about…
1. Sipping coffee in bed, when my ‘boys’ are getting ready for school and work.
Reasons not to feel guilty about this;
I too still work, but no longer full time, therefore my hours are rarely early ones. I must also remind myself of the last 8 years and counting when I got up early, made breakfasts and did the school run!
2. Having a quiet glass of wine in the garden by myself at 5 pm during the summer. It is heavenly, a simple pleasurable ‘moment’ for me. Before dinner, before the evening routine starts, just me, the cat and the dog sitting and sipping, in a warm sunny corner, at the end of my working day.
Reasons why I feel guilty about this;
Is it too early for alcohol? drinking alone is a sign of alcohol problems?! I could be doing something else ie preparing dinner? guilty, guilty, guilty!
3. Hiding chocolate at the back of the fridge, so it is still there when I ‘need’ it. Youngest male in the house likes sweets as much as me, and will demolish packets in one go, even though he knows its wrong! Fortunately he is a ‘string bean’ just like I was at his age.
I feel ultra guilty about this one, it sounds soo selfish. Definitely a ‘selfish guilty pleasure’ then.
Reasons not to feel guilty about this;
I will be buying more soon and stocking up for everyone. (still might have to buy everyone a treat to make up for this one) The pic is of some Cadbury’s mini eggs I ate recently. Hurrah for the Easter bunny!
4. Answering the door to the postman for the third time in a day only to realise all the parcels were for me!
Reasons not to feel guilty about this;
Ummm? I shop online, I blog, I design projects, people send me stuff. I will just have to get over myself with this one.
5. Owning so many shoes I could wear a different pair every day for 2 months. Yep! the upcycled cabinet I showed you lately only contained the flat chunky ones’
Reasons not to feel guilty about this;
I bought them with my own money, that I earned by working hard. I bought many of them in the sales, ummm, ummm nah… I can’t think of anything else.
Guilty it is then!! Final score is 4/5.
I am sure you dont do these things or feel like this, in fact I know you are so sweet and kind you probably never ever feel guilty or have any guilty pleasures do you?
best
