Ngh.
So, Liam moved in and everything is supposed to be happy…right? Well, I don’t feel that way. Maybe it’s because this is not our house or our food or our bills. You understand what I mean? He’s on the second week of his job and I sent him off to work this morning with a [...]
And Now…For Something Else…
Just finished watching a programme on the BBC about taxi drivers in India. I know how different our lives are in the Western world to those in the developing countries, but there’s nothing like watching a programme like that to really open your eyes and make you realise how easy some of us have it [...]
Bowling Ball
So…what’s happened since I last said anything? Ah yes, I found out that we are having a boy! (yay!…or not, ask me again in a few months haha.) I’m starting to believe that I’m growing a little chubmonster though as he just seems to be getting incredibly big and I’m getting rather round. I feel [...]
Where Did My Self Esteem Go?
And really, I’d like it back please. It’s taking the piss. My hormones are officially on leave of my senses and I have turned into the atypical pregnant woman. I cry at the drop of a hat, the slightest thing makes my eyes tear up and even constructive critisism makes me inconsolable. I stand at [...]
Generational Gap
It’s Saturday morning, and therefore I am sitting in Costa with my pot of tea. Waiting for my toast to get here- but that’s not the point of this post today. (I am quite hungry though…) Sitting here minding my own business to try and get a little piece of sanctuary before the madness starts [...]
Pain….OW!
Over the last few days, I’ve been getting some weird hip joint pain like I am about 60 years old. Only, I know that I am not. It feels like my bones are grinding together and there is nothing to cushion it. Like the cartilage has worn away and I’m just left with bare bones. [...]
Why Is That So Odd?
I don’t get people. Well, I understand my friends but the general public of those I don’t know- you boggle my mind. Sorry, but you do. I don’t understand why people don’t believe that I am not almost four months pregnant. I know, I just look like I ate a lot of pies- but this [...]
Eating Junk, Or Trying Not To…
If pregnancy does anything to a woman, it makes them more aware of the crap that they put into their body. I’ve spoken to a few women over the last few days who have had babies recently or are pregnant like myself and I seem to get the same response over and over. You become [...]
Journey Hassle
I love travelling but frankly, I hate being late and I hate being delayed. Being delayed I think is the worst because you actually have no control over it. Every time I’ve been on a plane recently, I’ve been delayed. Either it’s been engine trouble or toilet issues. Today, I’m on a train heading back [...]
Maternity Wear
So, I’m starting to get to a point where I can’t fit into my normal clothes anymore. And I’ve got nothing left from last time with my daughter so I’m literally having to rebuy everything again. Which of course, is an annoyance but oh well what can you do? Please tell me why is everything [...]
Obligatory Geek Post
It’s my ‘Let’s Predict The Future’ Apple fanboys and fangirls. Or we can not, and you can listen to me rant on about the latest rumours in the world of Apple Inc. There’s are two main rumours making the rounds of the tech world at the moment, one is that Apple is planning on releasing [...]
Rudeness Is Just Not Tolerated
I work in retail, as you all know. And in the UK at the moment, we appear to be dealing with an immigrant population wave. Some of these people are really nice, but then you get the odd one (or in this case) two who basically make you want to smash their faces into a [...]
In The Cold Light Of Day
Seriously people? I’m currently sitting in Costa with a pot of tea and doing my usual posing on my MacBook typing this blog post. Do I care? Pft, no not really. Think of me as you will. But it’s almost 10.30am here and literally people are already pushing each other aside to get to the [...]
It’s Christmas!
Oh boy, here we go again. Or we did at least. Thankfully, I am writing this to you from my bed and it’s now officially Boxing Day, or the 26th December. But I’m aware that for some of you it may well still be the 25th. Anyway. Today was a weird day. Firstly, I woke [...]
Is It Christmas Day Yet?
Seriously. I want this done. I could be all ‘Bah Humbug’ about it all, but I do like Christmas. I just hate the commercialism of it all. I hate shopping, I hate ungrateful customers. I hate rude people. And I hate, HATE working this time of year. This is why I am literally counting the [...]
omgomgomgomgomg!!
So for the last couple of days, I’ve been watching for the ParcelForce van. And I don’t mean like hanging around the house. I’ve been literally watching the front door, waiting impatiently by the window and sulking everytime the van didn’t show up. Yesterday, I woke up at around 7am, as I couldnt really sleep [...]
Get Out Of My Head
I sit here and type, wondering why you won’t shut up Constantly bitching and moaning about the things I do Do this, do that, dress like this, stop doing that Make more money, quit your job, go on the dole, do what you please No! I didn’t say that! Banging my head against the wall, [...]
Encouragement and Rejection
Hello, I’m back once again. Sorry for the long delay but hopefully you’ve been following me over at gkick.net? Something has been eating away at me for a very long time and I’m back to my little personal corner of the Internet to explain what it is and why does it affect me so personally? [...]
Tech Writing
Recently, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind journey for me. I’ve had to take stock of what exactly I want to get out of my writing and what exactly I want to do with my blog. Should I delete it, should I change it into something else to blog about, should I continue…I was [...]
Procrastination
Blah. My days constantly feel like they run into one another these days. I get up, I go to work, I come home, I go to sleep. End of. I rarely see my friends and barely talk to anyone else but my family or my coworkers. It’s starting to feel like my life is mildly [...]
Mental
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be locked inside yourself? Or not being able to express the feelings inside you? I’d like to talk about something that I know will make a lot of people shocked, but it has to be said. As you know, I’m bipolar and have been for a few [...]
But One Day You Will
I’m a secret Country music fan. I can hear a thousand disapproving moans as I mention that, but it’s some of the most thought provoking and meaningful music I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. The friends I have made from it following various artists has also changed my life. I can remember my [...]
Read, read, read
A friend if mine said to me yesterday about how if I wanted to become a better writer, I had to write more. And I know this, I never doubted that practice makes perfect. But I would have never given reading some thought. I guess that reading lots of different styles and such like helps [...]
Return
Hello. It’s me again, I’m sorry I’ve been away but I will try and write a little more often. My new job has been all-consuming, I’ve been trying to have more of a social life and I’ve got a lot of stuff in my head that just seems to plague me on a daily [...]
Squander
I try not to think of the fact that I am 30. I push it to the furthest corners of my mind and I think about other stuff, like the amount of stuff I have accomplished so far in my life and how lucky I am to have a child that loves me with all [...]
Protective Bubble
I’m sorry for not writing much in the last few days. I’ve been a little AFK or AWOL in my mind and there’s been a reason for this, I can assure you. I booked the last five days of January off work and I decided to spend part of my long weekend at my boyfriends [...]
Beautiful Things
Can age make a difference to a person’s outlook? I’ve been pondering this thought as of late and I’m wondering if it can. All the way through my childhood, teenage years and early adult life I had set things that I liked and set ways I thought of stuff. I was very much a tomboy [...]
Ladders
Today I had to face my fears head on and it wasn’t pretty. As one of the people that does Merchandising in store, I was bought in early to change the signage as our twice-a-year Final Clearance sale was going on. As I was read the note from my assistant manager about what signs to [...]
