At HOME home.

We’re joining Library Lil (btw, I’ve always wondered, is that a play on Lilo Lil from Bread?). L is now home until September. However, she isn’t isolating. Nope, the entire school has closed beca...

Votes and ideas

Only fun ones… Yesterday, I was in the car park of a golf club (not the hitting stick, the place where you play) and a black BMW swerved into the space next to me. As the two blokes opened the d...

Toe nail Update

I know you’re all on the edge of your seats, wondering how my toe nail is doing… Wait, what do you mean, “what toe nail..?” My infected, pus-spewing toenail that didn’t like the Ridgeway water ...

Survey-age!!

What battery percentage is on your phone right now? It was 20% when I started this but is now 19% and this is an ooooillldddd phone so I may suddenly did disappe…. Do any medical afflictions run ...


I’ve seen one rather boring version of this… I’m going to make it super, amazing. especially given that I’m in bed feeling crap (the feeling crap began mid-hike this afternoon and was followed by...

Icky gross toe shit

Well, obviously, my toe doesn’t shit, it has no bowl… but, just to say, you’re warned!! So, ya know my run? Well, I had a few sore toes afterwards. Not terrifically surprising as my trail shoes w...


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think most of you have seen on FB/insta the challenge that I did yesterday. But I thought I would chart it here too. Back last summer I wanted some kind of challenge to add a little some...

Meth lab..?

Just a quick one as I’m frantically working in college stuff; I have an assessment due on Wednesday. But I just had to share an experience I just had… I just had someone wanting a nail appointmen...

Luxury for my bum...

We’ve lived in our house for 17 years and I cannot tell you how many toilet seats we have got through in that time. I mean, it’s ridiculous that so many toilet seats should be needed! Anyway, th...

Bring it on

I’ve just applied to take part in a study to find out if the Covid vaccine and flu vaccine can be given together. Reasons? 1) it means I will get my second vaccine sooner. 2) it will help long t...


I have it. The perfect entrepreneurial idea! I love weekend lie-ins, lounging in bed with a book or my phone (or, like today, with both!). But, the problem is hunger. One can never be truly hap...

Just a quickie.

I’ve applied to do another of the government funded courses, this one is about children and young people’s mental health. Perhaps a bit grittier than the last…

I passed*!! Edit...

My course, that is. I got the results from the final assessment about half an hour ago. My three month course took four weeks 🤣🤣 subject to moderation. The moderator passed me too 😊

Yes, I’m in the bath...

I think that’s where I muse the best. Anywho. I have been musing on my blood doning: my 3rd since the start of Covid in England. But this time I felt something I hadn’t felt before and it was th...

Wiped out

Giving blood always leaves me feeling crap and today is no different. No matter how much I (over) hydrate myself before and after, it takes a couple of days to recover. R suggested that i shouldn...


WHERE: this is the low tech version of the reality check. Not that low tech, to be fair, but my phone battery is only just above 30% and, despite the new battery I got a few weeks ago, using wifi...

Take my breath away.

If you want some fun, have a read of this website. https://www.coastcaptureair.com/ This is a company who sell fresh air. Fresh air that they have captured in a glass bottle. For £75 you can bu...


Who does the majority of the cooking in your house? I do. Breakfast and lunch are, pretty much, free for all as I really can’t be arsed. I kind of stopped doing them last year just because everyo...

Fiddler on the roof

Why does it always have to be such a gamble when you want any work doing on the house? Not little stuff that I can do but the big stuff. For years we’ve talked about getting a real roof on the c...

Regrets, I’ve had a few...

But then again… No seriously. Have you ever regretted starting a job? When we bought this house it had been decorated to sell, decorated really well. In the 17 years we’ve been here we’ve never ...

Watching hair fails!

Lila really wants her fair to be cut so I’ve been watching YouTube tutorials in how to cut short hair and, of course, I’ve wandered into hair fails and it’s so funny 🤣 I know, how mean am I? The ...

The **ENEMY**

The body that is. The enemy? Yes, the enemy of sleeping in!! Saying that, I slept until 8:30 which is pretty late but I fancied going back to sleep for longer! Anyway. I woke and needed the loo. ...

Burping Burpees

It’s 9:34am and I’ve been up for 3 hours. I like to do my workout early because it involves burpees and I’m shit at burpees. If the girls saw me trying, they would utterly take the piss! So I get...

*pats head smugly*

I finished the first unit this morning and just received an email to say I passed. 😊

Stoooooodent!!!

I am officially a student again. I’d better get my round sunglasses, converses and black clothes again! When I had to fill in the “why do you want to do this” section of the entry I resisted writ...
