breastfeed! and its the best thing i ever did
If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything.
Probably the best piece do advice my dear mum ever gave me was…’Neither a lender nor a borrower be’.I have heard these words in my head so often over the years.
My mum advised me to use a pig pong ball in the loo to encourage my two sons where to aim lol! (I am a single mum so couldn’t show them any other way!)
When I first moved out my mum said to cook in bulk and freeze meals to save time and money and still do now
None 🙁
the most important thing mum taught me and has stuck with me is be yourself i have passed this on to my children and grandchildren
to be kind to everyone
neither a borrower or a lender be, this came from my grandparents
be true to yourself
Look after the pennies and the pound look after themselves
Always be kind.
Treat people how you’d want them to treat you x
Never trust a man
Never trust a man.
Enjoy life, as much as is possible. As time passes so quickly.
take each day as it is and cherish each and every moment as you’ll never have another 🙂
Not to talk to strangers.
Don’t judge other people because you’ll never fully understand why they are who they are, and why they make the decisions they do
Be kind to everyone.
There are no text books when you become a parent, always follow your gut feeling
Never go to sleep on an argument.
place a cheerio in the loo, to make my son to aim straight and its sorta a game!
Don’t drink alohol in front of them
Learn to play the piano or learn to pull a pint, then you will never be without a job.
one thing that my mum always said to me is what she told me her mum (my nan) always used to say to her
“stand up straight or you will get DBs (droopy boobies)”
always stuck in my head
Always do your best
You have to go and fetch what you want in life, it wont come to you!
Apart from a mortgage to buy a house only buy what you already have the money for. This has served me very well over the years. Often by the time I have saved for what I wanted I’ve changed my mind 🙂
manners cost you nothing
Never trust someone who laughs at their own jokes ha ha ha
always be polite
If I never made a funny or angry face my mum used to tell me that if the wind changed my face would stay like that!
Always do your best and you’ll never regret any failures
Always do your best and you’ll never regret a failure
“always do whats best for you”
Always be yourself!
Tomorrow will be better 🙂
If you havnt got anything nice to say…don’t say anything at all.
Put that down! I know what you’re going to do before you do. You’d better start watching your ways!
The best things come to those who wait
My mum has always said to me that I should never forget – Never a failure, Always a lesson.
To always be myself!
treat people the way you want to be treated.
Be kind to everyone and everything!
My face was damage in an assault three years ago and without my mums love and support don’t think I would have been able to carry on, she always tells me ‘you are more than your face’ and reminds me that she loves me x
If you can’t afford it, don’t get it!
To be a good, kind person
trust your instincts
I am always here for you 🙂
You can do anything you set your mind too 🙂
My mother used to always say ‘Your house will still be standing when you’re not’ – in an effort to stop me doing endless housework!
To always tell the truth 🙂
The best advice my mum ever gave me was that if you can’t cook a decent meal no woman would ever want to be your husband haha!
Think before you speak
mums know best – always listen to your mother! – and she was right 🙂 x
Have fun
Life is too short to let the small things get to you so rise above nonsense and try to live each and every day to it’s fullest potential.
Never let anyone put you down
lifes too short.
sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt you xx
sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt you x
If you don’t ask, you don’t get
No matter how bad it gets mums will always be someone to turn too
always be kind and gentle. Don’t take anything for granted in life
Respect other people. Don’t think too much what other people think about you.
Never say anything about anyone unless you are prepared to say it to their face!
Always keep your dignity 😀 xx
