Once upon a showcase
Last night I took a trip with a mate (who generously invited me along as he had a spare ticket) to see ‘Once upon a
Cinema day
I’m feeling loads more like myself today – and oddly it seems to have coincided with a suddenly rainy cold snap. I’ve suddenly realised that
What else happened this week?

Thirteen and a half stone later…
I’ve rather enjoyed this week – and as well as my walk to Balsall Common and trip to Oxford on I treated myself to a first
Sayonara 13 Stone
I had an inkling that things may be on the right track this morning when I put a recently purchased shirt on and could sit
No songs or Northerners
I’m waiting for 5.20. It’s almost 4pm. It’s been almost 4pm for about three or four hours. Or thereabouts. Maybe that’s just me being impatient.
Determined
Something that’s surprised me lately is how I have begun to react to disappointment. I could easily have been criticised in the past for using failure
Sixteen inches smaller
Day two of ‘operation salad’ is in effect and so far things are going very nicely, although last night I found myself to be incredibly
Nine and a half stone gone
Today is a complete first. Since April 16th I’ve not slept properly on a Friday due to worrying about weighing in on a Saturday –
