Titanic

My best friends son is in hospital right now. His name is Robert and he is 30 years old and has Downs Syndrome. Robert a few days ago was involved in a head on collision which has left him now waiting for surgery due to having broken the vertebrae in his back and other injuries. [...]

Really a brunette

I am you know. The blonde is a 2 hour episode at the hairdressers every 3 months which Ive been doing for 5 years now. I'm actually considering going back and seeing if brunettes have more fun. On the grand scale of life's decisions for a woman, that's quite a decisision you know. Ha ha [...]

Me. Well this is how I imagine me. Sitting in the sun, not a care in the world and enjoying life. The reality is unless I (like a lot of other people) win the lottery, that image will only be 2 weeks of every year. Annual leave time. It's funny but most days I hear [...]

That's a hell of a lot of skills lost and people who will have mortgages and families to worry about. Two [...]
