Especially For You Dear Readers 💗

I’ve made a big decision over the past week since Edition #31.

These BIG full on Faffing Friday posts with lots of recommendations and information in them take me a long time to put together.

I know they are my most popular posts and I might be shooting myself in the foot doing this BUT … they are going to be monthly from now on.

The reason they are probably my most popular type of post is because they are so jam packed with juicy stuff and that means they are VERY time consuming to put together.

So much so that working around my business I don’t have time to write any other types of posts.

Don’t get me wrong I love writing them and this is totally all brought on by myself but I don’t think you are getting to know all the other stuff I want to give to you.

When I originally created Best Before End Date as a blog back in 2017 it was to write about everyday life stuff, stories and insights for 50+ women - ordinary women - just like me.

My mantra was and still is ..

“We are not invisible. We still laugh and cry at the same things we always did. We're still curious, still learning and enjoying life. Getting older doesn't change us - it improves us.”

And now I’m in my 60’s I think it’s even more important to show the women we are as we grow older.

I feel as if I’m not doing what I set out to do.

Does that make sense?

So as a compromise this isn’t the end of something beautiful just a gentle sway.

The next Faffing Friday will be published on Friday 28th February.

I mean, that’s going to be a BIG one isn’t it? Once a month? Worth waiting for!!

I have created a little survey like I said I might last week. I’d love to find out ab bit more about my lovely readers and what YOU want.

As always a 💐BIG FAT THANKYOU 💐 to those readers who are paying for a subscription. It makes me emotional that some of you do that. That you see value in what I’m writing. Me .. just a very ordinary 61 year old over-sharing woman on the internet 💗

Oh and by the way my shop is back open so you can buy my feminist merch again. It’s free shipping today {31st Feb} and through til midnight Sunday for UK orders.

Here’s a picture of me wearing my ‘Power Surge’ Menopause tee.

Think it’s about 2 years old now and still going strong.

Have a good weekend.

Lots of Love,
