I get braces. Yes. Braces. After much debate over the last 12 months, I’ve made the decision that I need to try to keep my own teeth and if I don’t wear these things I’ll lose them. So, for an enormous fee, I get to have the most uncomfortable devices fitted to my teeth. I [...]

Two weeks in…failed already

We’re two weeks into the New Year and I’ve failed with my plan to change things. Pah! I decided no new year’s resolutions, but a plan. The only thing I ‘planned’ was to make sure I catch up with one friend I haven’t seen for a while, and that I do so at least once [...]
Of my gran

My gran has played a big role in my life. She is a fantastic person, with so much to give, asking very little in return. While I don’t get to see her very much these days – I think of her often. My memories of childhood would be incomplete without her. The items below are [...]
On losing weight

A few years ago I lost 65lb doing weight watchers. I was do proud of myself for the achievement and became a helper to help me stay at that weight. Now, I am no longer a helper and I am gaining weight. I am pee’d off with myself – big time. Before February I was [...]
Healthy?

I’ve been feeling tired for a while now. Quite a while actually. I thought it was just a combination of starting a new job, getting used to the long commute, and the elements of stress that seem to plague my every day and now I’m not so sure. I’ve never been good at sleeping. I [...]
My first Christmas…

on my own! Yep, I’m nearing and big 4 0 and for the first time in my life, I’m going to be on my own for Christmas. First. Time. Ever. OK, so let’s just caveat the ‘on my own’ – technically, I’ll have BF, his parents, sons and brothers, so not really on my own. [...]
3bts – skinny & fat cats, a good cry, garlic
Posted in 3BTs, Food, Me, Work, tagged 3BTs on 22/07/2008 | Leave a Comment »
At the end of a really dull, boring and trying day being greeted on the doorstep by two cats. Fat cat normally doesn’t greet me until it’s dinner time. Having had a good cry this evening, I feel better. It was needed. (Thanks Ian.) Making dinner and adding fresh garlic. Yum.
3BTs – Pinks, Gentle Surprise, Busy
Posted in 3BTs, Food, Friends, General, Me on 09/06/2008 | Leave a Comment »
The satisfaction of planting Purple Pixies, Fatheads, Pinks, Blue Moons, and other flowering shrubs in my garden to make it look more colourful and smell more fragrant and hearing that I’ve planted some wonderful things (from someone older and wiser). Holding a four week old baby in my arms and seeing how gentle a five [...]
Bruce Springsteen Gig
Posted in Food, Gig, Music, Rant on 01/06/2008 | 1 Comment »
At the Emirates stadium in London. What an entertainer! Playing with his E-Street Band, Bruce rocked the Emirates for two and a half hours – virtually non-stop. Songs were played with so much enthusiasm you would have thought Bruce and Steve were jamming together “just for fun” in the living room. Bruce loves the audience, [...]
The Duchess in Hull

OK, so I’ve never really had an opinion on Sarah, or the way she’s handled things. For the most part I think the Royal family gets far too much scrutiny and criticism from everyone – some members of the family more than others. I sat down to watch the documentary about Sarah tackling obesity with [...]
