So I walk out of bingo Sunday and walk across to Tesco at 3.40 knowing the store closed at 4. At warp speed I worked my way through, focused entirely on the electrical department. I was lucky enough to have … Continue reading →

Currently sat in the bingo hall with my mum and Dave at half 12. I woke up later than planned following a really horrific dream. I spent the first part of the morning rushing around trying to get organised for … Continue reading →

I’ve been offline for a couple of days because I have had a special couple of days. It has reminded me of the reason I get up in a morning and why I keep fighting my demons. I haven’t been … Continue reading →

Black Friday, a crazy Monday online, no deliveries due to high demand, supermarkets packed out at all hours of the day, even on Christmas Eve, shoppers bumping trollies to try to reach the checkout first, angry drivers fighting for parking … Continue reading →

I woke up today praying that my medication arrived in the post otherwise I’m in for a tough few days. Finally the mail arrived but alas no tablets. They were mailed to me a few days ago so I’m really … Continue reading →

Currently sat in my onsie rocking away on my rocking chair with a nice chilled beer. The last few days have been a little crazy and I’ve got absolutely no idea how on earth I got through it! Monday I … Continue reading →
