This week has been full to the brim. I have spent most of it trying to find my birth certificate. A piece of paper issued to my parents 46 years ago which proves without question that I am a British Citizen. I've lost it! Not that I ever remember having it in the first place. … Continue reading Born and bred…
Tom has taken to whistling. It is driving me bonkers! If he isn't eating he is whistling, this means that I am now practically force feeding him just so he can't bloody whistle. Sometimes I wonder how Tom and Elsie can be so different, yet so similar. Half the time I don't know Elsie is … Continue reading Meme O’clock…
Yesterday I opened a letter from the pension company. It is apparently time for me to switch my pension to something with less risk involved as my retirement date approaches, so they tell me. A stark reminder that my life is nearly over. Or is it just beginning? Will I be a golden oldie, able … Continue reading Taking it easy…
I am not keeping track of my weeks. Usually I record things that happen or things that I feel are newsworthy for the blog because my memory is worse than useless. I don't know what makes my memory quite so bad and although I joke about having dementia, which really is no laughing matter, I … Continue reading Winter’s coming…
This post was inspired by something I saw shared on Facebook. It was a letter, a young boy had written to his father. A letter of forgiveness. A friend shared the post, along with the caption: 'I hope my boys can say this' The letter gives thanks to all the people who had helped the … Continue reading Abandoned…
Last night I had a much-needed catch up with Lola. Lola is my long-suffering confident. My 'lets get plastered' friend. My go-to gal when at the end of a shitty week, you just want to sit and vent and drink and swear and blame everyone else for everything and we do it well, Lola and … Continue reading Firm friends…
This weeks biggest headache has been the Christmas Party. Everyone knows that I am a HUGE fan of the Christmas Party. There are many reasons for this, not least of which is that everyone deserves a Thank you at the end of the year. I also love the fact that is free (i.e. not paid … Continue reading Pass me the paracetamol…
Just two weeks I was without a car and it felt like two months. This week I will be back to running around here, there and everywhere and though I will often moan about the endless, drop offs and pick ups from here to there and back again, I am back in control of my … Continue reading On the road again…
The final chapter? Ivy is still painfully painful. Sometimes I think it is him and sometimes I think it is me, but most of the time I don't have a bloody clue which one of us it is, or what on earth is happening, if anything. If I am honest, which for the most part, … Continue reading Tangled up, Part 5…
Elsie informs me I am an electron. She could be right. The last few weeks I have certainly been a little up and down where positivity is concerned. There is a reason for that, at the moment work is stressful to say the least, I am still wrangling with the insurance company over the few … Continue reading Electrons and protons…

I cheated. Yip I did it, I am not proud of it, but that won't change a thing. This is my story of me trying to survive one day at a time. No guarantees....
