How Is Hayley Going?

A 2022 Summary and Request For Help, Please? Started really well, actually. Hayley started High School. That’s right, Our baby started Year 7. She was loving it too, until she wasn’t.

Not A New Year Resolution, Just New(ish).

Personally I don’t believe in the whole New Year Resolution thing. I think it is a powerful way of setting yourself up for disappointment. Changing the calendar on the wall doesn’t really change anything else. So many memes at the moment about 2021 not being better than 2020, well der! If you actually want things […]

Not All Anniversaries Are Too Be Celebrated But Some Still Need A Drink.

Well I haven’t blogged for a while. I guess I got tired of the whinging and whining. So I apologise for doing that. I have about 4 or 5 started blogs. Some a couple of lines, some a couple of paragraphs. But the motivation left the building. This one is a bit about the last […]

Wish Me Luck…. Please!

As I sit here at the computer with a beer in hand, typing slowly because I have a beer in one hand, I’m about to type one of the hardest things I’ve ever written. While meaning it. I’m going to stop drinking! For a while anyway. I have several Facebook and Instagram friends over the […]
