1. I have been told by one of the specialists helping [...]

» Day 24 – it’s been a tough day

I have just had one of those “OK – let’s put things into perspective days”. I have ended up wondering why on earth I am so “bovvered” about a darn lens!
So what if Lose weight on a wheat free diet is not getting Google traffic. I have today been to the Neurological Hospital in [...]

» The Show is over, an Anniversary missed – now back to Squidoo!

All that hard work for months and in no time at all, the show is over, the adrenaline has drained away and I am shattered.
Four Panto performances in three days and I only mildly fluffed my lines a couple of times – a huge personal triumph for someone whose short term memory is not good [...]

» Do you believe in Destiny?

A question Cleanerlife asked me in my last blog post. How can I not believe in Destiny after what happened in 2008?

» Life has been a rollercoaster lately & I do NOT like rollercoasters!

Rollercoasters – no way! I discovered I hated them when I went on one at Littlehampton when I was about 10 years old. I never went near them again until I became a Mum and then allowed my son to persuade me onto the runaway train at Disneyworld Florida. Never, ever again!
But isn’t it always [...]

» Payday, another lens and a thank you

Payday – I was not sure what to expect. I know that some of my lenses did well, but I still cant fathom the monthly average calculation. Yes, I can work it out for the lenses that have been published for the whole of the month and yes, I do use a spreadsheet to record [...]

Wow, oh wow, oh wow! But first let me take you back to the summer. I was reeling, one bit of bad luck after another! Earlier in the year the small family business I ran with my brother had failed, leaving both of us in debt. In the UK, a small Company buying family homes, [...]

» Just a few kind words can make such a difference!

It’s been a rough couple of days in AJ’s household. Lovely Hubby and the girls are fine but we have worries about other family members, so I have been rather distracted. I try to live life believing that the glass is half full rather than half empty, but these latest worries after our small family [...]

» Unproductive day at AJs in one way but productive in another

It’s Half Term in my part of the world, which means no school and a 10 & 12 year old who need to be kept occupied all week.
Although there’s a cold wind blowing, the weather was sunny so the walk to the Doctor’s this morning was quite enjoyable – I am still not driving but [...]
