Migraine.
It hurts.
It could be something to do with the weather, it could be something to do with the late night at my mates last night. (I wasn’t drinking, I drove so it was definitely not alcohol induced.)
Or it could just be that today it was my turn for a throbbing head, tired eyes […]
I love my kids.
No honestly, I really do.
So why do I find this so satisfying?
Mwah ha ha haaaaaaaaa
Oh and I nearly forgot to lovely Dumdad reminded me.
Remember when I posted about a local girls Olympic success earlier this week??
Well, Mansfield lass Rebecca Adlington got her second Gold Medal today along with her second World […]
So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably […]
After a fabulous day in the sun yesterday we head to more sunshine in the form of lovely Holly and the little nevereverlanders, Queen of Hearts and The Thrower. We will also be meeting Mr Nevereverland whom Mr B hopes to chat to about intelligent stuff while Holl and I are being daft creative and […]

The aromatic Irish Coffee House brings us our Fun Monday subject today.

My answers are going to be short and sweet because I want to ask all you […]
About 2 and a half years ago my friend got ill. She was breathless and coughing up blood. Pregnant at the time, it was put down to rupturing of small blood vessels in the lungs due to the strain of pregnancy, but she didn’t get better.
Earlier this year Marie became so […]
Thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday everybody. I am full of warm squidginess and feeling loads better. Just a quickie post tonight as I plan to sleep the sleep of the very sleepy person who has had some sleep sandwiches and is now off to bed. So I will leave you […]
As some of you will know I stopped working as a Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant in 2006 due to depression. I won’t say that I had a break down, it didn’t quite get that far, but I stopped being able to function as I had been doing. My mask didn’t just slip, […]
Fun Monday today comes from the wild and wonderous IamwhoIam at Dungarees Ablaze (Hope those adjectives are ok. :D)
She says;
“..lets hear about your favorite “Birthday”, it needn’t be your actual birthday just a birthday celebration. You can use one you planned, one you attended, one you crashed, just a fun time for this […]
