Read about my battles with Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), my mental health, surviving both childhood sexual abuse and a 12 year relationship plagued with emotional abuse, as well personal projects / challenges, and anything vaguely Jem-related.
According to the website of my local newspaper, the mayor of Telford & Wrekin has reacted to comments published online and “has come out fighting against the website for publishing the rebuke.” Come out fighting?

I don’t know if all of you caught my latest aside, whining about the state of my inbox. It’s frequently above the 100-150 mark these days and I can’t seem to get it down. Every e-mail is read, just waiting for a response. Some are even that old they’re labelled as 2007. About a month… read full entry »
Picture the scene: my brother and I on our way up to the local McDonalds being driven by my lovely Mummy. We get to the turn in for the drive-through and a red Peugeot is blocking the road.

I’ve had a bloody shit day and it can’t end soon enough. What with mail issues for a major client (who I really get on with, so it annoys me on a personal level) that seem to be never ending — despite the fact that everything seems OK at server level — and the gas… read full entry »

As well as wanting the extra contraceptive power, I figured it’d be a good way to ditch the Monthly Terrors and the accompanying symptoms (agonising cramps, ridiculous… read full entry »
I was reading Violent Acres today (this is not a new thing, I love that blog) and got sidetracked by Wide Lawns. WL had been invited to guest post on V’s blog, and chose to talk about being judgemental, and the collapse of our society because of other’s lack of willingness to do the same…. read full entry »
Before Christmas, Karl and I were having problems with our ISP, Tiscali. This was the first time in 3-4 years only the second time in 3-4 years that we’d had problems, despite lots of other users giving bad reviews/etc. We used them when we lived them at Karl’s mum’s and have used them since we… read full entry »
Happy birthday to me! Squashed tomatoes and peas! Bread and butter in the gutter, Happy birthday to meeeee! Yes, today I became another year older (all in 24 hours, isn’t that amazing?) I am now old enough to.. well, actually, pretty much the same shizzle as before. Having pre-booked the day off work before Christmas,… read full entry »
