Up until last year, I was always someone who didn’t find sleeping any sort of problem. Except from the times when I was ill, I would always fall asleep really easily.
Sadly my: head on pillow – “goodnight” – 5,4,3,2,1 asleep; routine has disappeared!
I used to almost always fall asleep before Andy, but recently we’ve swapped, [...]

I was feeling really unwell over Christmas, so it didn’t allow me to enjoy things as much as I would have liked. I don’t think I’ve ever been so unwell at Christmas before…it wasn’t fun!
I’ve had to work Thurs 22nd, Fri 23rd, Sat 24th, Mon 26th and Tues 27th. I started to get symptoms [...]

Many years ago (and I really do mean many), my baby teeth fell out. Well actually many of them needed a bit of help to leave. When I was 16 and was starting college, I got braces. I have a small mouth, which meant that when my adult teeth came through there wasn’t really room [...]

I was driving across the river yesterday, on my way to work. I had been aware that there was a police car in the lane to my right, so my mind went into “don’t do anything stupid” mode. As I pulled to a stop at the traffic lights, I noticed that the lady driver in [...]

I was doing quite well in October at blogging quite regularly, but I’ve slipped back into bad habits again. I could try blaming work, but that’s only half the story as I have plenty of chances to write a post, either at the pc or on my iPod touch (like I am now), but I [...]

I’ve recently started going to Aqua aerobics. A few weeks ago I went to the pool local to me, on a Wed am. I’d been here before years ago with my friend Astra (whose now in Switzerland), so I knew what to expect. The weeks since then I’ve been working during the day on a [...]

I’m not quite sure what the TPS covers. At work one of the men I support repeatedly has calls, which are just a recorded message telling him about how to solve debt/financial issues. After going through the various ways to cancel repeated calls (“press 9″, 1471 and select option, sign him up to TPS) last [...]

I popped into one of my local supermarkets today, to restock our kitchen. Now I have a tendency to use a trolley, but instead of taking it around with me everywhere I go, and having to wait until there’s room for me AND my trolley to get to each item on the shelf, I instead [...]

I have never…
I saw this done on another blog, and fancied doing it myself, so here goes:
1. Been in a helicopter
2. Had a child
3. Travelled further South-East than parts of Europe.
4. Drunk a whole cup of coffee (I hate the taste of coffee in ALL forms)!
5. Been on a surf board
6. Been sailing
7. Had [...]

This morning at work, the chap I was supporting was looking out of the windown at the buses and cars, and we had a few police cars come through with sirens going. He was “telling” cars off for not “stopping”, so I pointed out, that cars need to MOVE, not STOP, otherwise they block the [...]
