5 things

I was tagged by Becky for this one. I quite liked thinking about the things I do for myself, as I've only recently started to really take more time to actually do things just for myself, and to enjoy this time, and these things.

Something which I think has made me an easier person to be around, and certainly a happier one.

The rules are:

List five things you do for yourself
List five things you do for your closest friend, partner or child
List five kind things you have done for a stranger
Have fun
Tag five people


1. Five things I do for myself

Have at least one day or night a week to myself, and that includes not answering the phone
Regularly update my underwear collection
Go to the cinema once a week
Have my hair coloured, expensively
Make sure I keep learning new things

2. Five things I do for my closest friend

Just listen when I know she just needs to talk, not talk about
Support her in whatever endeavour she chooses next
Give her the spare key
Look out for things I know she'll like
Tell her often how much I value our friendship

3. Five kind things I have done for a stranger

Gave them £20 when the machine swallowed their card and they were stranded
Helped them pick out an outfit for a wedding
Helped a child back to its mother
Ran after them when they left their gloves behind at the cinema
Lend them my mobile when they were stuck on a train and needed to call home
