The Glamorous Life of My Virtual Self

The Glamorous Life of My Virtual Self

Real me: Stares at wardrobe, picks the same camo trousers, and black Tshirt I had on yesterday. Virtual me: Slips into a body hugging gown that would require three assistants, industrial strength shapewear, and a small prayer in real life. Facts!! But in the virtual world? Easy. Effortless. Zero chafing. Even my hair is fabulous. [...]

My addiction

My addiction

Get the sweets in me!!! Did you know I love sweets. OMG love them. But also not supposed to really have them because of being diabetic. Yet last week I’m stressed and who ate all the sweets? I did. The shame I feel at my lack of control today is in abundance. I’m like a [...]

Bitchfest day 2

Bitchfest day 2

I used to have the patience of a saint. I did. Then, I got older and realised there are not enough hours in the day to level that patience. I spent 3 hours yesterday, 3!!! Trying to set my new fandangly surface laptop connected up to my work desk. What a bunch of twaddle. Not [...]

Brace yourselves Spring DIY is coming

Brace yourselves Spring DIY is coming

April 1 is here and it’s that time of year as spring slowly arrives that all the DIY (do it yourself decorators) suddenly start buying up paint and wasting shed loads of money. Because why not! DIY springtime is very much a British thing as for some reason the urge to redecorate oooozes big time [...]

Manic Monday

Manic Monday

Happy Monday. I hope your week started or starts on a fabulous footing. I started it looking like this virtually. Reality started with a banging headache and neck ache. Followed by systems at work not working for the first few hours. Honestly logging off today was like sheer bliss as I needed to lay down [...]

Post Valentines

Post Valentines

Valentines has been and gone. How did I spend mine you may ask? With the most handsome young man who just makes me smile everyday the minute I think of him. My grandson. He turned up with a single red rose and a card he made me. In turn I gave him a card and [...]

Hallowed be thy season

Hallowed be thy season

It feels wierd to me at times to celebrate Halloween. I never grew up doing so but it’s a yearly thing people seem to get great joy from celebrating. Halloween, a time for costumes, sweets and spooky fun, often feels incongruous when the world is beset by troubles. Hell right now it’s immensely so. How [...]

The start of this week

The start of this week

Happy Monday when you read this as I’m prescheduling it, so I lay in bed longer before work!! There’s always method in my madness and sleep is one of them. I’ve got a stye in my eye which I noticed in the shower and my god it’s in the inside of my upper eyelid. Seriously [...]

Gin before sleep

Gin before sleep

I’m in bed after a glass of gin, the coffee cup is a rouse. I actually don’t drink much to be honest but had a sudden panic attack and didn’t know another way to calm down. The past two days I’ve felt like I was on my way to being the old me again. Today [...]

Standing in the music box

Standing in the music box

Hello Saturday/early Sunday morning. I’m not excited that you are here, because it means another week has flown by of life and it went in an eye blink. Time seems to be running away so fast that I often wonder is it just me who thinks that or does everyone feel our days are moving [...]
