11th Nojovember. My unread list is expanding rapidly!!
Today was much better. Currently watching the YouTuber Rate My Takeaway. He’s a Yorkshire bloke who tries food vendors of all different types, takes his table and chair and sits outside on the pa...
10th Nojovember.
It’s been a really, fucking shit day. I resisted sugar despite it being my shit-day go-to. That is all.
9th Nojovember . Dad’s birthday and charity shopping
Happy 81st to my dad today. I sent him a card and an email. Eldest had a meeting with their youth worker this morning to start the application for PIP - personal independent payment - for people...
8th Nojovember. The clingy conveyor belt version
I have tinnitus. I’ve had it for years but it’s got a lot worse over the past few days and instead of a whistle I have a low hum pulsing through my head. Constantly. What’s interesting is that it...
7th Nojovember. A week, a whole week. And the blood thief
A whole week without the white stuff. I think it took three weeks for the cravings to ease off when I gave it up almost 9 years ago. Eldest and I went for a mental health appt for them this morn...
6th Nojovember. Autumnal walking
R and I went for a walk in our local country park this aft. We both think it’s so important to have time together away from the kids so we try to get out, in one way or another, every weekend. W...
Is that the longest title ever? If not, I have failed! I redid my nails today. Pumpkins and ghosties were begoned (yes, it’s a word 🤣🤣) and this replaced them with these. I love them!! It was o...
The Fourth of Nojovember. The soup bowl of coffee edition
R (the husband) and I met someone at Costa Coffee today. She works for a charity that supports the families of children with additional needs. We went along not really sure what we needed but she...
3rd Nojovember. The Peanut Butter Conspiracy
Today definitely felt like an apple and peanut butter kind of day. I got home from work, opened the cupboard, took out the peanut butter jar, opened it and found: This. Aahhh, The Joy of Teenage...
2nd Nojovember; coffeeeeeeee
Weeeelllll. No sugar cravings whatsoever today, even when I spent 3 hours in a coffee shop while my 16yr old did their induction at their new job!! (Anyone who drops by, 16 yr old is autistic an...
Well, it’s the first of Nojovember! The explanation entry
Welll, what will be the topic this year? The usual book hasn’t, to my knowledge, given prompts but who the heck knows right?? Last year my topic was very much about Phil and Philomena the Toe Fun...
Suuuurveeeyyy!
Do you put ketchup on hot dogs? It’s one of the few things I have ketchup on as I don’t really like any sauces. One of my first jobs was in a restaurant and each day I had to put the sauces into ...
13 days
Until NoJoMo. You may remember the introduction of Phil and philomena during last year’s NoJoMo. If that detail has slipped your mind (but how could it) I shall refresh your memory. They were my ...
Unpopular opinion.
She was 96, she had a damn good innings and got to experience so much. Why are people sad? Shouldn’t her life be celebrated? 🤷🏼♀️
Time moves on
So, remember when I started working as a TA, in a year 3 class..? I think it was last year… right..? Well, tonight I did a set of nails. On one of the girls from that class!! She has an apprent...
It would appear that I was wrong!
I know, shock horror and all that 🤣 EDITED FOR ADDED PHOTOS OF THE RIVER WHICH SHOW THE WHIRLPOOLS Anyway, my claim that only one person has ever come out alive of the river where I grew up was ...
My Time Capsule
There’s this podcast I listen to with the above title. It’s by Michael Fenton Stevens. You may not know the name but if you saw the face you’d know him (certainly in British TV) The premise is t...
Morning!
One thing I’ve always loved about school holidays (and remember, I was a nanny for 11 years before I had kids) is not having to rush in the morning. I was up at five to run and in the bathroom a...
Silicon smoothness
Our hairdresser is really good therefore she’s booked up weeks in advance. And that is why I found myself there twice in one day recently as she couldn’t fit T and L in at the same time. So I spe...
I am so damn hungry!!
It’s a long weekend. Three days. I have most of my energy back post-covid and discovered that my B12 levels have stayed elevated all by themselves! So why not decorate the living room? I figured...
Reality Check - the post covid edition
WHERE: Of course, I am in the bath! I woke feeling quite crap, everything hurt. So I took ibuprofen and curled up on the sofa where I stayed until I came up for the bath at 2pm. The sun is shinin...
Reasons to check ahead!
I arrived at tesco this morning with four large boxes with their neatly sorted packaging, based on the requirements two years ago for all packaging to be cleaned, flat and separated. I drove aro...
The List
Well it isn’t really a list. Not a big fan of lists you see, even though I know they’d make my life better; either that or they’d be abandoned somewhere, gathering dust and yellowing at the edges...
And now
Rich has it. His boss had a positive test a few days ago so R was doing daily tests. Last night he came in feeling awful. The phrase, “even my fingers and ankles hurt,” was said. I sent him upsta...
Battened down
With Auntie Eunice on her way, promising gusts of over 100 mph overnight, I have tied the fucking trampoline down. Seriously. It was about a year ago that it flew over our five foot fence and dow...
