🌻 Little wholesome tip this week: If you’re seeking someone special and you haven’t found them just yet - remember that you don’t have to be in a relationship to have a life full of love 🥰 x

Dear Margie,
How do you get outside your comfort zone hun? I want to leave my job and start training for the merchant navy, but then I start worrying about not getting on with my crewmates or if I can get Corrie on through the ship WiFi xx

Hey hun,
When I was feeling a bit stuck in my old job and wanted to make some big changes in my life, nan bought me a little wooden plaque with a quote written on it that goes “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” It’s actually dead funny how relevant that quote is to your particular situation, so I had to share it with you ⚓ You have to understand that your ego hates any kind of change and wants to keep you safe in your comfort zone where it’s warm and fuzzy and we know exactly what we can expect. When you decide to do something new, your ego and your subconscious will question it and think of all the worst possible outcomes (like not being able to watch Corrie or having a crewmate who doesn’t know who Gail Platt is) because they want you to stay in your comfort zone where things are low-risk and predictable. The only way to get over it is to push through the feeling of fear, and realise it was all an illusion hun - there was never anything to worry about. Call your ego’s bluff. Feel the fear and do it anyway. The more you get used to this feeling of being uncomfortable - the less you will self sabotage the things you really want to do in life. If you are feeling uncomfortable it means you are growing as a person and things are happening for you! Embrace it hun! Anyone in the merchant navy would be lucky to have you as their crew mate. You can do this 💕 
Love your mate,
Margie xxx

Every week me nan selects a tip from a “real life” magazine especially for the huns! This week’s tip:

‘What’s wrong babe? You’ve barely touched your David Beckham pizza x’

Now I won’t be able to hear Pretty Green Eyes without thinking of ‘Pepperoni Olive Eyes’ - they’re staring into my soul huns x

Pepperoni Olive eyes
So full of sparkle and such light
Let me remind
You chose not to cry
It's all right
For your lover has come home
By your side I'll always stay
Never have to be alone x

Margie, Give Me Something to…

👀 Watch

Sun, Sex and Suspicious Parents
This is a classic show about teenagers taking their first summer holiday abroad without their parents - but the parents are secretly watching everything that unfolds! It ran from 2011-2015 so the music and outfits have some nice 2010’s nostalgia and it’s got plenty of cringy moments for your viewing pleasure huns. Some angel has uploaded a 6 hour video of the entire season one on YouTube, but there’s loadsa other eps uploaded on there too x

📚Read

Green Dot by Madeleine Gray
24 year old Hera has graduated with zero intentions of putting her degree to use and the same confusion most people feel in their twenties about what to do with their lives. She bluffs her way into a job, and while there ends up having an affair with an older married man. It sounds like a basic storyline but it’s the witty narration of the character which makes it such an enjoyable and easy read huns x

For any huns who missed it, I have a Spotify playlist with all of my favourite tracks - perfect for a bop around your room or a cleaning spree 🥰 I’m always adding new songs too so ya don’t get bored x

Margie’s Question of the week 💬

Last week I asked - “What's the most trouble you ever got into at school, and what was your punishment?” and I’m outraged for you all x 💕

“I got a week’s detention for drawing a picture of a pig in my spellings book because the teacher assumed I was mocking a boy in my class. It was my 11th birthday and I’m still not over it 22 years later!”

“In primary school me and 4 other girls were doing a dance to B*Witched at the xmas concert and I brought in a little glittery silver hair colour lipstick that my big sister had got free with a magazine. (Literally looked like a tube of lipstick but it was for your hair) Cuz we were like 8 and had no makeup we were passing this around and using it as lipstick 🤣 one of the young assistant teachers saw our ridic silver lips and confiscated it, but she never gave it back!! whatabitch.”

“Me being a stupid rebellious teenager, met up with some friends in the fields right near school in school uniform (like idiots 😂) and we were drinking wine and some were smoking. One of the girls was absolutely off her face on white wine lol and got the bus home. Obviously the bus driver noticed she was and plus she was in school uniform, so he reported it to the school. Most of us got a Saturday detention, but for some reason some of the girls only got an after school detention as they were "not in school uniform", even though the PE kit still had the logo on it 🙄. Looking back we were such idiots x 😭“

“I was entrusted to bring a note to the principal with another little boy from my class but for some reason I was feeling nosey and decided to open it and read it on the walk there. (Nothing interesting huns just a load of signatures) Unlucky for me my classroom had a window out to the hallway and my teacher just happened to be looking out as I did that. She banged on the window so hard I nearly shat myself. As soon as I got back from dropping off the note she went off on one in front of the whole class, I was soo embarrassed“

Next week’s question is - “What's the pettiest thing that sparked an explosive teenage fight with your bestie?”- Hit reply to this hunmail if you’ve got a story to share with the huns! 💓 x
