I still can't shift my eye infection ☹️ I think it's probably my mucked up immune system, I don't fight infections well and often have to use antibiotic cream on small cuts as they become infected. I'm not sure whether that's down to my anaemia or the PA. I've been using tissue to dab my… Continue reading Little Things

A Break From Reality
Yesterday the postman delivered our Caravan & Motorhome Club Directory for the coming year, 2021. Some people peruse holiday brochures showing beaches and sun soaked people laying on loungers drinking cocktails. Not me...I'm looking at caravan sites to see whether they have toilet facilities lol. I miss going away in our motorhome. Back in November… Continue reading A Break From Reality
Less Is Now
In my pursuit of "downsize the most painless way possible" and to take my mind off my eye infection, I found myself watching this on Netflix yesterday... https://youtu.be/jn-xbOCZOiQ How comes I'd never heard of these guys before? They have books...a Podcast (I've subscribed lol)...Website...Ted Talks...FaceBook...Instagram...you name it! But watching this film/documentary was so inspiring. I… Continue reading Less Is Now
A Good Old Mope
I'm feeling pretty damn sorry for myself at the moment. My Ocular Migraine has now turned into an eye infection. Its happened many times over the years...I rub my eye (yes, I know I shouldn't) and end up with an infection. But this one is bad...I've never had it this bad before. Got some drops… Continue reading A Good Old Mope
Being Organised
I spoke briefly on the 1st of January about The Organised Mum method, but I cant tell you what an impact it has had on my day to day life. To be honest, I don't think you really need the book, you can get everything you need from the web site, following Gemma on Instagram… Continue reading Being Organised
Movie Night
Re-watched an old favourite where Tommy Lee Jones saves America as I ate a whole box of Maltesers lol. Escapism...perfect evening 😄
Back to School
A couple of days ago I read a blog post by the lovely Sandra Madeira, where she mentioned a Podcast by Dr Rangan Chattergee, who is a GP and author. Now, I do love a podcast, so I eagerly scanned the episodes, hoping to find something relevant to me. And what do you know...Episode 11… Continue reading Back to School
Not Quite Marilyn…
My daughter bought me some Lush stuff for Christmas, so yesterday I used the bath bomb to have a soak. Since I've been taking the CBD oil (which I can HIGHLY recommend by the way) I've found that on a good day, I can actually get in and out of the bath unassisted. It's a… Continue reading Not Quite Marilyn…
Childhood Memories
My Nan would make Bread Pudding almost weekly. If there was a lot of stale bread that week, we'd get one. I thought it was something invented during the war (WWII), but it turns out its been around since the 11th Century and was called "Poor Mans Pudding" lol. Anyway, today, I made one. I've… Continue reading Childhood Memories
A January Tradition
Every January...usually the first week, I have a tradition. I sit down with Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries (there are 3 volumes now) and plan what I'm going to cook during January. His Ginger cake is incredible! I do love a cookery book (and cooking), but Nige is my favourite. His books are more than just… Continue reading A January Tradition
