I love. I hate #3

I hate:

• When you make a cup of tea and accidentally leave the teabag in for 10 minutes.
• The fact that my 6 year old can manipulate me.
• The fact that my 9 year old STILL finds farting hilarious.
• Ridiculous school rules.
• Waiting to hear whether my son has secured a place at the school he desperately wants to go to.
• Hearing about friends going through hell and you can do nothing but listen.
• Thoughtlessness.
• Passport renewals for a bloody six year old.
• When I try to take my contact lenses out and I've not actually put them in . . . 
• People who judge. Judge judge judge.
• Reaching for a Magnum from the freezer only to find an empty box because one of the kids didn't throw it away.

I love:

• Quality hand cream.
• Doctor Who.
• When you take THAT photograph.
• My angora thermal socks from Marks and Spencer.
• Roast dinner with lashings of gravy.
• Dog walks.
• Trees.
• Winning at Words With Friends.
• Any film with Hugh Jackman in.
• Moroccan oil for my hair.
• Standing on the sidelines watching my boy play rugby.
• Parcels for me in the post.
• Helping others, just because.
• The fact that my 6 year old wears what the hell she likes.
• That moment when your kids are old enough to see the movies you want to see.
• Hugging (still).
• Friends (always).

I appear to have way more loves than hates; I must be mellowing.
I'm always banging on about my love/hates . . .  What are yours?
