The ice queen cometh...

If you came to my house you would probably draw the following conclusions about me;

• I don't like washing up


• I do like shopping


• I adore my animals


• I like 'projects'


• I am quite mad

Around my house, there are various signs and notices which are meant to help me on the path to my dreams and general happiness. There are mantras, letters with my 'cosmic requests' on them and some nice letters people have written to me. The ones that are really special, I keep to myself and these are not on public display.

The purpose is to remind me that I am a good person, that I am good at my job and that I am not the person I was told I was by an idiot for half a decade.

So anyway, I have decided I will start to believe my own hype and so I now talk about myself more positively and don't worry if people think I am insane when they come over for a cup of tea.

However, this does not help with what my best friend says is my current reason for being a Bridget Jones. Apparently I am an ice queen. I give out cold vibes. I am aloof and unapproachable. She says she can say this to me as I will love her unconditionally as her best friend for over 20 years. She is aware that I am like this because I am done with time wasters. I am done with idiots and I know what I want. (I have a list for this too) But she says others will not understand this.

I am opinionated, I am outspoken, I usually get what I want. I have been independent for a very long time. This is apparently intimidating.

So in the meantime, because I'm not lowering my standards, I will keep my snowy persona warm with all my new boots and jumper dresses, the occasional plunging of hands into washing up bowl, and my cat, who likes to sleep on my feet.
