There I am in the paper #12…or help, my waistline has gone missing!

January 7, 2017

If December was party central, January is definitely hangover hell. While I’m not sitting rocking in a chair crying, I do miss the Christmas happiness and I’m also missing something else, something I’d taken for granted. It disappeared without my even noticing sometime between Christmas and New Year…my waistline! I first missed it the other … More There I am in the paper #12…or help, my waistline has gone missing!

Here we go again, it’s that time of year when I recap on my blogging year past and make sure you haven’t missed anything amazing! As part of my blog buddy’s linky over on Where wishes come from, here is my 16 from 16 (Don’t tell anyone but I couldn’t think of 16 and skipped … More 16 from 16

Just as well Christmas only comes once a year for I am exhausted. Sitting here today, breathing in that unique scent of Christmas tree and cinnamon candles, I am relishing the relaxation. This is my favourite part of Christmas, where it is perfectly acceptable to sit down at 11 am to watch an old movie … More There I am in the paper #11

I never got around to sharing my piece from the Examiner last week. So here goes… My twelve days of Christmas. Remember that special feeling, only a few short weeks ago, when you heard the first Christmas song playing on the radio? Now, everywhere we turn those Christmas songs are blaring. Somehow they don’t seem … More There I am in the paper #10

This weeks article in The Examiner’s Feelgood supplement…and yes it’s a true story! Help! It’s that time of year when the world goes shopping mad. Sadly, in order to receive presents myself I must shop for others, including my children who demand more than a gift voucher. As I moan daily they advise me to, … More There I am in the paper #8

Dear Ms PR who reads my blog…

December 2, 2016

There is a health alert with this post… Stand well back as I’m on a rant! When I was young I imagined grown ups were intelligent and wise. Then I grew up and saw that some were and unfortunately others weren’t. Yesterday I received an email from someone who definitely falls into the latter category … More Dear Ms PR who reads my blog…

To write or not to write?

November 23, 2016

I feel like it’s been ages since I sat down to chat with you all. I know many of you probably think I’m busy beavering away writing my novel for NaNoWriMo, but alas I am not. I retired, bowed out, ran away or failed miserably,( use whichever you wish) at that writing challenge very early … More To write or not to write?

November 20, 2016

Here’s my latest article in the Examiner’s Feelgood supplement. It’s funny how some readers enjoy one and others another. Each week people text or meet me saying, “Oh I really enjoyed your piece last week,” or ” I read the one about… and I think it was the best yet.” While I’m still not exactly … More There I am in the paper #6

Here it is my latest article for Feelgood in The Examiner. I’m beginning to get into the swing of getting an article written to a deadline and in a way I’m enjoying the challenge, even if there are hours where I think, “What the feck am I going to write this week?” Thankfully yer man … More There I am in the paper #5
