I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.

Let's Go Diem the Carpe!

4. Describe how you faced a fear, or fears? I have had two main fears and they fit in two parts of my life. BC (before children) my big fear was that of arachnids. Eight legged creatures of a var...


3. What do you consider betrayal and how do you handle it? Betrayal. That’s a tricky one. I don’t get ‘betrayed’ as easily as other people I know. I have a friend who has cut off half of her fam...

I’m giving it a go… 1. Write an account of how you spend an average day in the life. Start with the moment you wake up. Weeeeellll, I get up at 6am and go to the bathroom. I don’t think you need...


T is now vaccinated, booked in for 12:30 in order to fit in with her being able to get ready and me getting back to work. On the way I agreed it would be nice to get subway for lunch… Plans and...


To follow on from my entry yesterday: The Money Pit. Perhaps, as a 16 year old, I was less impressed by slapstick which is, essentially, what the film is about: how many times can Tom Hanks fall ...


In 1987 I went on holiday to Holland Centre Parks. I went with my mum and dad and my younger sister, they allowed us to invite a friend each too so I invited Lisa. Lisa had been a friend at prim...


Six weeks after I last ran I went to the gym this morning and went on the treadmill with a simple plan: walk for five minutes, speed up to run and see how it goes; run and walk as I needed. But I...


WHERE: as per the title, I’m in the car in the car park outside T’s youth club because I have to wait while she’s in there (having an escape makes her more likely to go). The youth club is in the...


You have Summat to write about but when you’re sitting down it goes out of your head. I’ll give you some quick (10% phone battery) dribs and drabs. There’s nothing quite like reaching Day 4 of a...


WHERE: I’m sitting at the kitchen/dining table (it isn’t in the kitchen, it’s at the far end of the living room next to the kitchen). I’ve eaten some blueberry wheats (not a big fan but someone f...


Middle of the night alarms are always so much louder than they are when the sun is up and people are moving around, don’t you find? It certainly flung me out of my dreams and sent me on a traject...


A couple of years ago I was visiting my dad and went into the upstairs of the stable. The houses on my dad’s road were built in the 1930s in the grounds of an old Manor House (which is still ther...


I’m quite excited, and wondering what the hell I was thinking at the same time… About half an hour away is a gorgeous Roman town with an outdoor pool. The pool is run as a charity and so have to ...


Well, I successfully ran the 25 minutes required for C25K today so it’s got that going for it. 🤣 This morning I planned to spend a couple of hours making a photo book of my Ridgeway runs, to keep...


The history: About two years before T was born, a wisdom tooth that i had had issues with for the previous 15 years was removed by a rather bog standard NHS dentist in town. It was a fairly quic...

I’m smiling to myself in spite of the utter cheek… I’ve had this for sale for a few weeks: A pretty damn solid piece of furniture. And the price I have asked? £15. A bargain if you ask me. I’ve ...


On the home business gift markets I follow on Facebook they are starting to advertise Christmas things!!! Noooooo!!!! B


Because my area of the world is so low on the water table each area (suburb) has its own lake, created to act as flood defence. One of our localish lakes which borders a slightly dodgy area has b...


As you know I rarely drink for two reasons. One) I hate feeling crap in the morning and B) I usually have to drive if we go out. Well, yesterday afternoon I had just finished painting my nails a...
