OK, I've been absent for over a hot minute, right? If I was to sit down and write about what had happened in the last two years, we'd be here for a very long time. No one needs that. Let's just say that life has been turned upside down on many fronts; I don't necessarily… Continue reading What the fudge?

I am a crap blogger and why it doesn’t matter
The title of this post may sound somewhat misleading as I've managed to post three weeks on the trot, but I still feel like I am not the best at this whole blogging thing. I talked about this a little bit in September last year (here) about how I am a serial starter, but this… Continue reading I am a crap blogger and why it doesn’t matter
Boxes, Bottoms and Nasal Spray
We've made it through another week. It's not been too bad to be fair, or at least not until today. I don't want to end the blog on a low, so let's start with the crappy bits of my week first... Allergies... Good god have they been bad the last couple of days! I have… Continue reading Boxes, Bottoms and Nasal Spray
Can we talk about Caroline?
Yesterday, it was reported in the British media, that Caroline Flack had taken her own life. I am not going to pretend I know anything about her, because I don't watch the programs she's been in. I don't really like reality TV for reasons which will become apparent later. So whilst I am sad at… Continue reading Can we talk about Caroline?
SAD, bad and dangerous to know (or something like that)
I know, I start most of my blogs being sorry for not blogging more. It's a fact of life that I am shit at doing stuff, see my earlier post here. You see, when you have anxiety, your brain does mad things - like telling you that you're shit. Perhaps that is a post for… Continue reading SAD, bad and dangerous to know (or something like that)
Health and middle age
Well, it's finally caught up with me. A life of not quite looking after myself. I am staring down the barrel of hypertension and high cholesterol. I can't say that I am surprised, but I am still a bit shocked! You see, we have a family history of this, lots of it. There is only… Continue reading Health and middle age
The great meat debate
Eating meat (or not as the case may be) is a massive topic right now. It's also one that I've had my personal battles with for many different reasons. It's a battle that I am still having and I guess, others are too. When I was around 14 I decided to go vegetarian. I am… Continue reading The great meat debate
We need to talk about Aldi
So, before I go into full ranting flow, a little history of Aldi. Aldi is a German company, based originally in Essen (where my husband is from if you're interested) The company as we know it, was founded by two brothers Theo and Karl. In the '60s Aldi separated into Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd.… Continue reading We need to talk about Aldi
