It’s that time of year, when I start looking for appropriate gifts for friends and family. I work out what I think people would like, and what I think they might need. My BF is quite difficult in many ways, as he buys what he needs as soon as he needs it. The trick is [...]

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 [...]
Another birthday approaches
Posted in Family, Me, Sister on 23/01/2009 | Leave a Comment »
I can’t quite believe that it’s time to prepare for another birthday (well, not the birthday, but the party/drinks evening we will have). Another year, another few wrinkles and lots of changes in life. I look back over the year with mixed feelings. I’m healthy, OK just got a new job, and I have a [...]
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. [...]
My sister’s BF is a bit of an extreme sports fan…well, not just a fan. I’ve been white water rafting with him. I’ve seen video of him kayaking in some interesting rivers across the globe…but I’ve never seen him do anything quite like this… http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7735242.stm Really wonder what he’d make of it…?
Positive Signs?
Posted in Family, Friends, Me, Sister on 25/10/2008 | Leave a Comment »
The last 8-10 weeks have seen very little to laugh about, but with a bit of positive news in the last couple of days, I’m starting to see the funny side of what’s happened/happening. Gran’s funding has finally been allocated. Next Friday, the Granster will move to her new home in Yorkshire. I haven’t seen [...]
No news…?
Posted in Family, Friends, Sister on 22/10/2008 | Leave a Comment »
Well, the rollercoaster ride seems never-ending. My gran is still in hospital, funding yet to be allocated. For gran, who doesn’t understand the reasons she’s in hospital, it’s like a living hell, while she waits to move to her new home. Cruel to be kind…really…but so hard on gran and mum – in so many [...]
Another Wee Bit of Good News?
Posted in Family, General, Me, Rant, Sister on 09/10/2008 | Leave a Comment »
The interest rate has been dropped by the Bank of England. As someone in the middle of a re-mortgage I’m hoping that this rate change will be adopted by my mortgage lender as soon as possible… I’m sure there are many other people in similar situations, so lots of you will understand. But, that’s where [...]
8 Weeks Recovery Time

It seems that the past few weeks have been filled with drama, emotion and bad news. This week has been no exception. My cousins received some bad news about an Uncle, my sister isn’t in NZ, my Mum is still not doing too good and my Gran is still in hospital. So, to add to the [...]
Look Out New Zealand
Posted in Family, Me, Sister on 03/09/2008 | Leave a Comment »
My sister’s coming back. Flights are booked, plans have been made and on the 28th of this month, sis and her BF are flying back to NZ to start afresh. Best of luck to them both! I shall miss her being readily available – but, will look forward to hearing of her new adventures in [...]
