It’s been an interesting day; Or, how I got rid of my recent writer’s block

I’ve been working a lot lately (yay money! Boo exhaustion!) and today is my first proper day off for two weeks. I am also sick again (physically rather than mentally this time round), so sick I had to leave work halfway in to my shift yesterday because of nausea. Bit of a problem that, when you work in a food factory.

Review: ‘The Help’ by Kathryn Stockett

Penguin Books
2009

I borrowed this book from the library on Monday on a whim; I’ve heard about it, of course, and some of the claims, but never picked it up. I felt like a change from fantasy. Continue reading “Review: ‘The Help’ by Kathryn Stockett”

Why I’ll not go back to paid weight loss groups

Anyone seen my picture? Yeah I’m overweight, and I have been for over twenty years. It’s a problem, I know it’s a problem; I don’t need reminding that being overweight is unhealthy, or considered to be not aestheticly pleasant in a culture obsessed by skin and bones.

I’ve tried going to Weight Watchers and Slimming World several times. I’ve spent stupid amounts of money on them, in membership, paraphernalia, branded food etc.Continue reading “Why I’ll not go back to paid weight loss groups”

If I ruled the country…

It was a particularly fruitful ride in the cold/almost rain this morning (see previous post). I had another thought. Scary, two in one twelve minute motorcycle ride through Lincolnshire. The second thought was on the nature of government, namely if I ran the country what would I do?

The Confusion Monkey strikes again!

I was supposed to be working today. The permanent Sensory QA is on holiday, I’m covering a few days. Except, someone didn’t know this, or more correctly the precise details, and asked one of the minions to cover.

On the cold, and slightly damp ride home I decided that the Technical department had a Confusion Monkey hiding among the files. It’s a bit like the Lab Elf at my last job. I shall tell you about the Confusion Monkey; gather round children.

#TONGUES is HERE!

I will be getting this and reading it, just as soon as I get my tablet to a WiFi connection. Can’t go wrong with a free book.

Remember to Like, Share, Comment, Retweet, DM it to friends, people you may think might like it (the subtle hint of ‘celebrity’ is used here, especially if a blue-tick kinda person follows you ;)), if you enjoy reading!

For anyone who isn’t aware: Tongues is a short story, which will not even take a day to read. It’s a horror/gore/thriller style, although some people may not find it gory enough (like me!).

It’s a FREE eBook. Yes, free. I’ve written this with the intention of just to reach as many people as possible! The eBook is not about making money, for me, it’s just one thing to be proud of and also, just to cross off the list of things to do this year!

You can download it from my SmashWords profile here: X Marks The Spot.

All you need to remember is the following formulae: Lather, Rinse, Repeat, Lather…
