Just here for therapy

  • Don’t Worry

    Don’t worry, the pain will soon go away The feeling of loneliness is not here to stay He’s taken away all you both had Left you feeling lonely, empty & sad But life still goes on, & you never forget And the time spent together you’ll never regret #NationalPoetryDay Continue reading

  • The reality of reality TV

    Following on from the sad and sudden death this weekend of reality TV star Mike Thalassitis there have been calls for ‘aftercare’ to be more readily available or even there in the first place. However, is it time for a complete rethink on reality TV? Afterall most average people, like you and I, wouldn’t think… Continue reading

  • A comic ‘con’

    So last weekend we went to ComicCon in Liverpool which was great fun only I had to dress up …. OK so I didn’t have to dress up but everyone else was and I didn’t want to get left out!! But the dilemma was who to dress up as, now ideally I would have gone… Continue reading

  • A mermaids tale

    So we had a bit of a crisis in our house this week. Ariel went missing. Now anyone who knows me and my slightly odd family know that Peng (yep he is a penguin) and Ariel (mermaid not soap powder) are as much a part of our family as Henry and Tilly are, neither can… Continue reading

  • Good deed, indeed

    So have you ever wanted to do something nice for someone and it doesn’t quite go to plan? Well this week, oh actually it was last …………. no must have been the week before. Yes, that’s it so around two weeks ago (finally) my very dear friend, Julie from Scotland, cos that is her official… Continue reading
