14 Signs You're Turning Into Your Mother

Us women have all had that moment when you laugh hysterically or shout "Oh my God!" and you instantly think, OH CHRIST I just sounded like my mother.

There seems to be a lot of negativity involved in this realisation of growing into the woman who loved you and raised you and no wonder we're turning into them, they were our  very first female role models.

In some cases it seems turning into your mother can be detrimental! There's been times when my sister and I would say to our mum, "You're turning into Nanny!" after she has a good nag at us or insists a cup of tea will solve all problems and she will get so offended. 

If you're like me and suspect you're heading down the path of no return, there are obviously going to be plenty of similarities that a mother and daughter might share and some signs to look out for. 

1. You'll pick up the same dress in Primark. The look on her face will be of pure joy, you on the other hand will inwardly curse when you realise you have the same bad taste

2. You inherit some of her annoying habits like using flossers on the sofa while watching TV and thinking nothing of it

3. You insist on getting a drink for anyone who walks through the door

4. No food goes to waste. It's all split into freezable containers because "that'll do us another meal"

5. You make your bed to the same standard that of a hotel. Plush Cushions and blankets included.

6. You start buying every reduced item in Tesco in Bulk. 'OMG Colgate is only £1.00 lets buy 10!'

7. You start nattering to yourself when your'e wandering round the house trying to find something you misplaced.

8. You don't recognise any of the celebrities on the news

9. You carry round an extra pack of tissues "for emergencies"

10. Those younger than you tell you the TV show you watch is "boring"

11. You check the travel news before heading out on every journey.

12. You can't understand the concept of starting a night out drinking after 10pm.

13. You cannot read your phone screen unless you hold it at nearly arm's length away from your face.

Sometimes it may even happen that you're mother is trying to turn into you.

14. She is more up to date with social media trends and texts you using abbreviations.

"Hi K8. wuu2? luv u lots."

Gotta love 'em for trying though.

10 Struggles a Perpetually Cold Person Will Understand; GIF

Yes, I am one of those perpetually cold people. From working in an office I have come to the realisation that human beings, when hot, are non-negotiable on the terms of the air conditioning/heating system. I was always overruled no matter how much I shivered and begged and unfortunately I was seated right under the AC unit. 
I have purchased an extortionate amount of jumpers and tights. Purchased one too many water bottles from Primark because "AW! Look it's shaped like a cute teddy bear" and I'll never properly pull off sunglasses as I'm always wearing some sort of knitwear and just look like a crazy person.
If you are also one of these people, I salute you. Below are some of the struggles we both know to be true.



When you're in a meeting and your colleagues start to hint that they are feeling a bit hot you have come to the realisation that, at some point in the very near future, the AC will be turned on.

And when that air conditioning goes on, it's sure to be on maximum speed.

Your wardrobe is 75% knitwear

And no matter how many of those jumpers you wear, that annoying breeze will still find its way in.

 We can't even bare to type on the keyboard any longer as our fingers are so damn cold!

Your bed sheets are always too cold and you have to do the wiggle dance to warm them up.

You'll have the heating in your car on full blast but your passenger will complain it's too stuffy and hot

When you get into other people's car and they insist on opening the windows even in the winter for "fresh air supply"

 You will consider wearing gloves and a scarf even though its a summer dress kinda day

Hot baths are our favourite so we get to spend all our money on Lush bath bombs (so I'm not complaining)

16 Things You Realise When You Turn 20

I turned 20 last September and since my last birthday there are a few truths I have discovered.

1. Time to get your life in order and get a proper job

2. Then there's the stress of having to prepare for that interview...

3. And there's always the inevitable question "So tell me, where do you see yourself in 5 years?" WHO EVER ANSWERS THIS  TRUTHFULLY?!

4. Then when pay day comes.. Goodbye Money!

5.  Being able to afford a potato for dinner is an achievement

6. You discover the amazing drink that is wine

7. Drinking is your only friend at the end of the day... It's always there for you

8. After drinking you feel like a better dancer than Beyonce but you're more of a Taylor Swift at the Grammys

9. You hope, like wine, you will improve with age

 10. You will also realise some 13 year olds look and dress older than you

11. And you now must try and teach yourself to walk in heels like a proper adult

12. You go on twitter now and have no idea what the abbreviations that teenagers are using  actually mean

13. The internet  is now such a weird place - 1 random new friend request, no mutual friends? AVOID!

14. You'll meet some of the craziest friends you've ever had

15. Everyone expects you to be planning for your 21st Birthday like its going on MTV's Super Sweet Sixteen

16. But all in all, these will be the years you remember, so make the most out of it!

I hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did making it!
