Angel Eyes

As I drove home after dropping Lincoln off at Crewe Lyceum for drama, a song came on in the car Angel Eyes by The Healey Band that’s been on my playlist for years but tonight brought me to tears. The words just resonated more than ever as I thought about this photo Jamie sent after […]

Working through it

I feel so frustrated right now that no matter what I do for the bloody cat it meows all day. Its making me very tired on my first week back at work because it starts at 5am and does not give up even if I get up and feed it. It just doesn’t eat or […]

I’ll be back

Having dropped Jamie off at the station I drove home for a week without her, not something I ever want but I’m also so fucking proud of her and how she’s carving out such a brilliant career so I 100% support her! Her parting words other than ‘I love you’  was ‘I’ll be back before […]

Back to the coalface

Although Jamie still had another day off (she doesn’t work Mondays) the kids and me were back to the grind of life. It went well to be honest and ended with a hot bath and a beer

At the end of day

As Sunday drew to a close it also meant my holiday was over, yet I was sorting of happy because I’d achieved what I’d set out to do two weeks. Spend a Staycation, with my family, doing what I wanted to do and I loved it

10th of April

Walked to Starbucks but Reagan struggled because it was about me not her…it was annoying because I hoped we could get a nice family photo with all four of us which if I think back is all I ever ask for on my birthday? She didn’t talk or smile so I just had a brew […]

The Doors

Yes, I’d talked a good game on buying and hanging new doors throughout the house and yes I’d done it before but that was 20+ years ago. The difference today was YouTube and the right tools, that said I did the same thing a long time ago with the tools I had and a tutorial […]

Teenage rampage

Hardly a rampage but Reagan had arranged for a few mates to come round to our house which is not my favourite idea, but secretly I love the fact that as I left to play pool our children were sat entertaining their mates out on the patio around the fire pit under the awning. I […]

Don’t wait up…!

Spent the day hanging two new doors one for the closet and the other for the lounge there has been no rush and after the closet door went really well it was frustrating to struggled with the lounge door so needed to walk away, so tidied up and live to fight another day. As I […]
