It’s never easy!!

Well it’s been a week since my last post and its been a mixed bag. On the one hand I’ve had an interview confirmed for a cool job, which would mean a change in plans but would swell the coffers!! On the other hand it’s been a bad week for diet and exercise!! I’m currently…

If you do that you’ll go blind….

Had some tough news when I went to my annual diabetic eye test….my retinopathy is fine but I may be either developing a cataract or scarring may have reduced my vision, but either way it’s likely I’ll need glasses!!! I found myself in Asda and there in front of me is the opticians. I checked…

So this is it….

So I guess that about brings us up to date…. It’s 2013 and I’ve so far lost 2 stone with lots still to go. I’m walking daily, sometimes only short walks but always a walk. I’ve had good days, great days and bad days. The other night the Dazzler and I decided to go for…

I lost weight over Xmas!!!

I couldn’t believe it!! I had a great Xmas where I didn’t have to organise it all thanks to the Dazzlers mum. For those of you that know me, that’s a big thing as I’ve been organising Xmas for years, even before I had my own home. I can still remember as a kid packing…

Walkies!!!!!

I felt better about myself, I was still unfit, still depressed but I didn’t feel worthless. I noticed that I’d been ignoring my family, the Dazzler and the dogs! I couldn’t do much more than be there for the Dazzler, but I could do something for the dogs. I started walking them It started as…

Doctors Orders

2 weeks after I put Lulu to bed for 2012 I got marched to the doctor by the Dazzler!! As I went through the doors to the doctors I felt myself collapse inside, this was it, I was finished , I was at rock bottom, I had to be honest. This was my last chance…

2012 the year of the business that never was

We finally got Lulu down to Brighton, settled into her new home and prepared for our first gig, Brighton Pride! Which this year was in early September. That week had to be one of the most stressful of my life! We couldn’t get Lulu running till the last minute, hadn’t got the stock till the…

My big fat summer staycation!!

2012 was a fantastic year for events!! We had the Queens Jubilee, the Olympics and Lulu the ice cream vans maiden gig… Well 2 out of 3 wasn’t bad!! We spent the late spring obeying doctors orders relaxing and making trips up to Essex where Lulu was undergoing major renovations and spent the early summer…

It’s all Me, Me,Me!!!

I guess this journey started January 2012 when, after a disastrous 2011 at work which saw my boss being let go, most of the management team fighting amongst themselves and an unrealistic workload for me personally, I walked into the house I’d owned for 10 years, and rented out for 3 to cover the mortgage,…

Welcome to the madhouse….

So this is the first time I’ve decided to blog about me and I’m not sure where I’m going with this but I guess it’s time for me to explore what makes me….Me! I’ll start by saying that variously throughout my life I’ve been told that I am non conformist (my first BF), not academic…
