Project Chaos has started today! Let me explain and you’ll know why I’m asking you to spare me a thought. One week after John (my partner) died in February I found a crack in the bath. (Bit of background for you. When we moved in John replaced the bathroom. He put a bath in and we had an over-the-bath-shower. To make it…
I am taking part in a large local event on Sunday and will be needing my scooter so yesterday I decided to make sure the battery was fully charged. I had to get it out of the car as the salesman had put it on top of the hoist! The rope from the hoist was caught up in it so I retracted it. All ok until it stopped working, I…
Somebody posted some watercolour artwork on facebook and I immediately recognised it as a copy. It is a lovely painting and used in an exam but got a B (which has upset people) but its likely the examiner recognised it too.There's even a how to paint this very same picture on You tube. About 800 posters have admired it and…
My 2-doors up neighbour died this morning. Heart attack. First I knew was when Maureen (my immediate neighbour) rang me at 6am as she was worried all the emergency vehicles were for me. There was an ambulance and Police car outside and numerous other cars. Both Maureen and I could tell something was seriously wrong. I went…

I'll try to get to my final target - 5 stone off - by December as that seems to be reasonable to me (at the moment). Thanks again for all your…
Today is the 70th birthday of the NHS. I can remember my mother telling me what things were like before it was set up if you didn't always have the money to pay for the doctor. I know we all have our complaints about it from time to time and take it for granted but we are incredibly lucky to have it. Personally I am having…
Already I am hearing doom and gloom because a democratic result didn't go their way, politicians, hey, what would you do with them! So much for bending to the will of the people. A new PM with a positive attitude will lead us to a different future, a positive one.
Mrs Merton actress and comedienne Caroline Aherne has died at the age of 52. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-36694598
I was told Tuesday this week that we are finally at the end stage of sorting out John's (my late partner's) estate. For me, this has been a huge struggle to deal with whilst I've been struggling to accept that he's gone. One executor withdrew legally from doing the executorship even before John had passed away. The…
