What Robin Williams once quoted, it is true, the weather does affect your mood. Today I woke up with a bit of a shaky start and due to a late delivery I thought my day would go downhill. Not so, I met up with some friends in the town centre for coffee and meeting and…
I chose to write this after a close friend was going through a bad patch, alone, despite loads of so-called “social media friends”. Did anyone even phone or ask how they were or offer a friendly ear….NOT ONE! One day a college student came up with a brilliant idea… social media. Now years later people’s…
I don’t usually sum my day up, but today has been a mixed bag of emotions – good, bad, ugly, helping, being productive, being frustrated. Good – I was introduced to a new discussion group today and left with a smile on my face ready for bed. Bad – I received a letter from HMRC…
As mentioned previously, I had an operation on my knee and was signed “off work” for 6 weeks to recover and enable my knee to heal properly. It’s just over 3 weeks and the bills are coming in, so I took the decision to start delivering parcels again, against the advice of my surgeon –…

I read with interest recently an article which confirmed which I had suspected known for a long time, that Juice Plus is nothing more than a multi-level-marketing scam. You see all these claims on Facebook by people who have lost weight, cured illnesses etc. etc., but in reality are just after parting you with your…
After a few days of depressive illness where I couldn’t see anyone or go out of the house, I woke up this morning with a positive attitude that Today’s The Day I shake myself off and at least get up and get one constructive thing done. To people without anxiety and depression, then that may…
I suffer from repeated anxiety and depression, so when I am having a good day I capitalise on it and try to get as much done as possible until I hit “burnout”. I finish my morning work, still feeling up beat and decide to spend the afternoon in the office working on overdue tasks when…
For the first time in ages I was channel surfing whilst working and came across Big Brother. Yeah, and? What is the fun in watching a load of people in a “constructed” studio “house” screaming and shouting and swearing at each other and eating raw chilli’s in a cupboard whilst talking to a voice? I…
