The way it is according to moi

Hello All, Suck it up Buttercup is going to be my self-motto of 2016! I am going to make a real conscious push to not complain. Of course all my complaints are 100% justified and valid  however I’m going to try really hard and just not complain. I can hear some of you already laughing at me. I made a whole lot of decisions towards the end of 2015, that I wanted to implement in 2016. I suppose you can also call them goals. One of the really, really big ones is to get out of debt for good and live within my means. This means not purchasing anything at all on credit. I have to have the money or else I just can’t have it. Additionally while I have to live with what I have, I need to pay for all the things that I already have, that includes the credit cards. Now I am a lucky ducky and have ‘shit hot’ credit so the banks are always offering me the best of everything. I’m in a very privileged position to say that I’ll be paying this all off at 0% yippee!!! I did a balan...

Its been a while! I was going to recap month by month but it’s just a bit dull. So here are the highlights. In May I found the most amazing Chinese doctor. I was seeing him weekly but I’m feeling so much better that I now go every 2 weeks and eventually I’ll see him less and less. For those of you that are skeptical of TCM Traditional Chinese Medicine, try it first. Yes acupuncture might not be that comfortable but I feel so much better. I end up having acupuncture, a massage and herbals teas if I need it. It’s making a massive difference. I went back to my happy place. Glastonbury … my true love. There is really nothing in the world that is as amazing as Glastonbury. I can never say it enough; everyone must try and go, It’s so special. A few days after that I went to Italy for 5 days to see Steph and the kids. At the time she was heavily pregnant, her daughter was born earlier this month. It was a good visit. Early August was the one year since Mark died. I decide...

To many this picture might just be of loo roll in a plastic bag.  But really it's much more.... I was packing for Glastonbury and it finally hit me. Not only was I going to the best music festival ever... But I'm also middle class.  I've had internal debates with the class system for donkeys years.  What am I? What are my folks? What was I growing up? And what were my folks growing up? Working class, middle class, upper middle, lower middle, skint class, plain out poor? You get the drift.  I don't actually have the time to go into this for too long but the picture sums it up. Ikea good quality plastic bag with velvet quilted loo roll. And this will be used at the middle class festival.  More pictures to follow.  This is the view the people in the queue to charge their mobile phone. (I'm am also)
