The rollercoaster that is life
Ups and downs continue on a daily basis I have half a mind to just do bullet points to describe this week. It would look something like this: And on and on it would go. Just one long list of moans and complaints. However, all of these things have been taken on and dealt with…

Who cares for the carers?
Let me start by saying, isn’t that a stupid term? ‘Carer’. Of course we care, everybody cares but I suppose ‘looks after-er’ is a bit of a mouthful. Over the Christmas period, I was left asking this question, ‘who cares for the carers’? Actually it’s been on my mind for a while, since a nurse…

Change of transport for allotment visit
High stress levels this week and we’ve barely started this journey. This is going to be a mixed post. Yes, I went to the allotment and I’ll show you some of the work done there but there have been a LOT of other things going on too. Life isn’t too easy at the moment if…

Results from the garden
Not everything we harvest from our gardens can be eaten. I have been going to the allotment on a fairly regular basis but I don’t seem to have posted much about it so here goes. We have been very busy tidying and harvesting – both are continual jobs but I am very aware that it…

Is this another ‘coincidence’?
….or divine intervention… You may recall, I recently did a post about coincidence/divine intervention – you may not have seen it yet and that’s ok but I have another example I want to share with you. So picture the scene: Dearest Son has his first appointment at the orthodontist which is in a large town…

Please send positive thoughts our way!
My stress levels are going through the roof – I need your positive thoughts. Well hello friends, it’s Monday as I’m typing this and tomorrow is a day this family has been dreading for some time. Why? You might be asking. Well, it’s because tomorrow is the first of 2 appointments for Dearest Son at…

Being busy and making plans
We managed another quick trip to the allotment today – but I didn’t take any photos or videos! No, I’m saving it until the job I’m working on has progressed a little more. Dearest Son was working on the pond area as it was overgrown and we couldn’t even see the little tyre pond! There…

How 1 Sock Can Cause a Meltdown
This has been quite a difficult week – you may have noticed (or maybe you didn’t!) that I haven’t posted much this week. I have been trying so hard to keep on top of the house duties – sticking to my cleaning schedule, dealing with the laundry mountain which included getting the iron out several…

It’s THIS easy to lose your privately rented home in the UK
I wanted to bring this story to you because, frankly, it’s heart wrenching but also terrifying. This couple, from the UK, have been renting their home with a private landlord, i.e. not a council or housing association rental. They have been served with a Section 21 which means they are about to become homeless through…

I am an idiot
I’ll try to keep this brief if you keep your laughing at me to a minimum! Had a bit of a stressful night last night. We were hit by storm Eowyn or whatever it was called. I was worried about my polytunnel and the fence and I was right to be. The polytunnel held firm,…

Too Stressful
We’ve just been through quite a stress filled day. As a parent, I hate it when Dearest Son has to get any sort of treatment done. It makes me very anxious, to the point I’m wishing I could go through it for him. I know, I know, he has to learn to deal with all…

Big Fail
There are some things I just can’t do. After reading about Laura’s post being stolen I think a lot of us have become more aware of the need to put some sort of official copyright on our posts – something I’d never done previously. So, on Friday morning, I set out to do just that.…
