OK, so I'm luddite but, just look at my blog.. there could be tumble weeds blowing around and they'd be shinier and more interesting to look at. I need a make over... like the lovely ciderpress's site, or buddleia's or... well, just a whole spit and sawdust experience and elephant poo mudpacks for a brand new look.... then I can start luring poor ( Read more... )

Last night I had a beautiful dream. In this dream I thought I was someone else. The dream was a day and the day was hot and serene, with skies so blue and vivid they gazed wide-blue-eyed into an unknown firmament, unblemished by the troubles of clouds ( Read more... )

*sigh* well, after a summer working in duty at a social services department in London (which we won't name) and a term of placement overwork/dissertation outline and law paper amongst seminars/casework and client call outs, I can say with all certainty that I am truly sick of being a student and cant' wait to be earning some money once more ( Read more... )

*sigh* I am at a loss as to what to do so I thought I'd post for some ideas from other people - Recently we've been having problems with the teenage boys next door doing petty damage - they also come up onto our patio which overlooks most of the groundfloor including the bedroom and kitchen - a big invasion of privacy, especially if you've got ( Read more... )

OK, so I'm at  home with ma mere in a small town somewhere along the Essex coast line, having flashbacks of teenagerdom in hell etc.. and I had two really peculiar dreams last night.

Yes, rat fans. I am depressed. I can't think of anything witty to say and I've got this weird flatlining beep in my ears....

And I'm dreaming of dead people, and living people dying... You see, one too many funerals and it goes from being the Addams Family to Meet the Gorbechovs..... 

I am flat broke and facing the prospect of an entire summer with no money. I am nearly thirty. I still haev a year to go before I qualify with yet another degree, I have achieved not one of my paltry ambitions to date (buying a triumph spitfire, and house) and I am faced with several more years of poverty.

What the hell can I do? I'm so fed up of ( Read more... )
