Ironic isn’t it? I know April is not a time we particularly think about Christmas, but last year I decided to turn my attempts at writing into a business that could be a retirement plan for me. Very grown up, thinking of retirement plans, especially as I still can’t budget from month to month. I …
As a child I always wanted to make people laugh, make people feel better about themselves. I never knew what I wanted to do for a real job, I still don’t! I knew I was expected to get my A levels, go to University and then go on from there, but in all honesty if …
There is no failure, you either win or you learn? 2020 was going to be my winning year, and I’m sure I wasn’t alone in thinking that. For some there were weddings to look forward to, new businesses starting out, kids settled into a new year at school, new promotions at work, the world was …
Who doesn’t have social media? I bet there aren’t many people out there who haven’t got at least one profile somewhere. It’s a way to keep in touch with family and friends, it can be a way to promote your business, and it can be a way to just be god dam nosey. I was …
I know, I know, I did a blog when I reached one year of no alcohol. So what else can I possibly say on the subject? But there is so much more. I could go on forever, but I won’t! But to recap for those that didn’t read it, but here’s the title if you …
Working from home is something I’ve always wanted to do. Waking up at a reasonable hour, not having to put make up on, hair tied up, pj’s on, able to put a load of washing on throughout the day…… Perfect or so I thought. Fast forward to Covid -19. I am on self-isolation as one …
This Saturday is my 44th birthday. Now I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I expect the same effort now as I got for my ninth birthday. 🎈🎁🎊🎉 That doesn’t necessarily mean a large amount of money spent on me (although I wouldn’t complain), but definitely some effort has to be made. I’m …
I did contemplate if I should do this blog or not. I’m usually an open book but talking about my relationship with alcohol is like stripping naked on the town hall steps and believe me that wouldn’t be attractive. Some people may read this as they are genuinely interested, some might read this as they are nosey fuckers …
So, I’ve just taken 3 days UNPAID leave to spend with my delightful stinks over half term, so before I’ve even entered a soft play area or any other activity its already cost me over £300 but there’s no price on quality time………….is there?? We’re still struggling with the potty training and Albie. I’ve had …
What November 8th means to me November 8th is just an ordinary day. Too early for Christmas decorations, although I have just seen my first! And no more fireworks! November 8th is also my second son’s birthday. My second son is called Dusty Wignall, I know, cool name. Dusty was born asleep in the early hours of November …
