Just as I thought I was saying no to things and getting more time to myself, the volunteer line which I work for asked me to co-ordinate their fundraising and grant applications, but I can cut down my time on the line by a session too. I just know this will not take 3hrs like [...]
Work is doing my head in. I am writing this at work, which is probably not a good idea, but hey-ho.
I went last week to a conference in Devon. I stayed over night. I missed my auntie’s 80th birthday party.I booked in advance the cheapest train I could, used my young persons card, didn’t claim [...]
Sometimes it just hits me. Like when I was in the shower this morning. I had been to the gym and had a really good RPM class, and I was washing my hair and suddenly it just came to my mind. I don’t know why I get so insecure, why sometimes something I heard, I [...]
To spend time with friends. I miss my friends, I miss people you can laugh and joke with, people that make you think, people who understand what you say without you really having to explain yourself. I’ve moved away from where most of my friends live, or they’ve moved away too, and in a new [...]

Those sorts of people that need to ask all the time for somebody to affirm their worthiness as they think it will make them feel better but really no-one can make [...]
Or ‘Week Wrap’ as Arizaphale calls it, and has inspired me to post. There are a couple of topics in my head I want to write about this week but it’s getting a long enough space of time to put the jumbled thoughts into a semi-coherent bundle of text.

Has anyone seen my soapbox?
Damn I wish my writing was more eloquent/ concise/ succinct/ informed/ informative/ interesting.
Yep, i’ve joined the ranks of you other eco-terrorists out there. I have a car.
Albeitly it was given to me, taxed and MOT’d (thanks Mr C’s mam and dad!) but I have been using it. I do cycle to work everyday but have started to use the car to get between my two jobs, do [...]
