Thursday I came home from work after a few days away &, as a neighbour held the door to the communal hallway open for me, I saw much to my confusion that somehow my 2017 Tony Robbins Date with Destiny vision-board poster was lying on the floor of the reception area. Yep opened out wide…

Still not okay.
Following on from a recent post, & despite some light relief this week I continue to feel lower than I’ve ever been. Seems a tally chart doesn’t fix everything. I mean I didn’t have a shower yesterday soooo I guess that could be the culprit. Thought I could get away with having two today, didn’t…
Lockdown birthday 101: A How To Guide
Unbelievably, contrary to the pessimists, myself being the biggest one, I just had possibly the best birthday I’ve ever had. Yes THE BEST. This is obviously quite unexpected for several reasons; the ol’ global pandemic, consequential unemployment, awfully timed recent dumping & the biggie: I am self isolating, completely alone. So how did I do…
Bday blues: Day 25 – 28
I wake up the next day to utter bedlam, as if someone has ransacked my home. I take a pic, turn around & go back to bed. The next few days are spent in major comedown mode. By Tuesday I finally summon the strength to reorganise my flat & reorder the birthday lettering to something…
Birthday girl: Day 24
I wake up on my birthday buzzing with excitement. I already knew the fridge was full of goodies so regardless of everything else it was going to be a good day. There were things in there I haven’t had for months so that’s exciting in itself. I get up & pour myself a mimosa &…
Mermaid sighting: Day 21 – 23
So after last weeks vlog I put the call out regards how I should spend my big 3?th birthday & I must say that peoples ideas got me revved the hell up. Nothing in particular just peoples general enthusiasm for birthdays. Plus what really put the gas on the fire was Tescos 5 for 4…
A meme a day… : Day 13
Too many memes, too many many memes…. Right, I’ll be blowed I’ve only actually gone & had what at least felt like a productive day. I can’t be entirely sure of quality of output but words were indeed written, seemingly into sentences. Furthermore I observed the recognised minimum standards of hygiene by brushing teeth AND…
T.E.S.C.O : Day 9
Supa dupa late with this post. Yesterday was manic. Quarantine manic mind not normal manic. Somehow I managed to make one small task last an entire day. Skills. Woke up pretty early after a horrible dream where I was locked out of school completely starkers which left me feeling quite disturbed on awakening. Probably something…
SOS : Day 8
Genuinely knackered. Have pretty much replaced all walking with dancing & am utterly spent. Going to bed early, meaning hopefully before midnight, to try adjust this damn jetlag overhang. Today in a series of bullets I cooked. Oh my giddy aunt. Finally! Did it as soon as I got up to get it out the…
Hola Barry: Day 7
Got up sub noon for first time today at 10.45 am & felt undeservedly like an absolute hero. C’mon Jadey!! So much so, I for some reason felt it desirable & indeed necessary, despite the minimum 3 week house-arrest, to attack all items on my to-do list simultaneously. At one point I had one call…
Cocoon: Day 5
Feeling genuine disgust with myself. I am able bodied, I am healthy & I have nothing but free time. Sure I am doing my bit by staying indoors & isolating but I am not actively helping. Today my friend Miriam posted an NHS job advert in a group chat for temporary admin services at Addenbrookes…
Tinder reunion : Day 4
Slow day. Got up marginally earlier but am still in my PJ’S so says it all really. Though it is Sunday so give me a break. Spoke to my Mum for Mothers Day & beat her in an assortment of online games whilst she drank some vino from the emergency supply pack I gifted her….
Dance party: Day 3
Meme of the day No in between. Accurate level 11. Luckily for me today was a good day. I still woke up horrendously late at 11.53am but I jumped into action because I had stuff to do & people to see (from a healthy distance.) First up I had to go pick up my new…
Free Your Limbs
Enough is enough dear reader. Why is it men get to wander around loose limbed, footloose & fancy free? Yet us women teeter on heels, hauling a giant tote that’s got us hobbling all the way to the chiropractor? Men swing their arms free & easy. Some credit cards & a key slid neatly into…
Dear St. Valentine…
I find myself single again this Valentines day but for the first time I won’t be pouring myself a large glass of self pity pinot. I am single firmly by choice. I ain’t even looking. Not really. I’m “on the apps” sure, but it’s gonna take a hella hunk to pin this sister down I’m…
