A nice inspirational article to help fire up your entrepreneurial writing spirit from a lady who knows!

It only took a trek around 10 chemists today to find a pack of Lemsip Max Strength but, my greatest victory came when, after three weeks of trying, I have managed to buy a bag of self-raising flour - I am pathetically elated ...

Two major discoveries from my first day of home working - 1. I really missed being in the office; and 2. the child in the flat above me has a drum kit, and a bloody trumpet ....

Absolutely, and grateful thanks to Ian McMillan whose wonderful wordy wisdom is a comfort and joy in these dark times.

Brilliant, simply brilliant!

Seriously, can we call it something other than Covid-19, which makes it sound like a benign cough linctus?

As part of a school word game, my granddaughter had to describe her granny with reference to a song or poem and the like, and she wrote SuperGrannyIsAnarchicBehaviourIsAtrocious! Have been signing it all morning! May have T-shirt printed!

Not sure about manners - but having seen Liz Truss beating a retreat from another branch, could it be that HM Government is fueled entirely by Pret A Manger?

How amazing is this! Made me feel really emotional and so darned proud of all those who care so much.

Couple of boxes on the way - come on everyone let's help the kitty kingdom!

This and The Great Pottery Throw Down - my Sunday evening has gone from good to great!

Beautiful sky this evening - with little hints that the days are getting lighter and brighter, hopefully in more ways than one!

This week's entry in the wonderful Roll On Friday's Glamourous Solicitor (CATegory?!) - made me smile!

Gosh, how the other half lived - I had to scramble into my clothes in front of granny's paraffin heater - went to school smelling like a cross between the Fawley Refinery and a bonfire ...!!

I have now had so many deliveries from Amazon during the past 14 months that I can recognise the sound of their vans coming around the corner to my home - I didn't even have to look up today - I knew it was them! Not sure whether this is good or bad!

Goodness, this is true - lost my beloved little cat last September and the grief, at times, is still overwhelming - hugs to anyone in the same situation.

This really is the most delightful book - I use it at least once a week with a group of children and they love it! Hot favourite is Teddy Bear's Picnic - but I love The Fairy Tree (so I believe in fairies - no crime is it???!!!) - highly recommended

Absolutely! DOTS have put forward perfectly valid reasons for being exempt from these charges Mayor Khan now listen and help them!

Hope this doesn't offend Thanks Cancer! and the lovely cancer community. Had my final chemo yesterday, used the cold cap so kept most of my hair but lost some - bit of a whine to my elderly (but very sharp) neighbour who this morning put a note through my door with this ...

Chemo bad bits for me were the awful nausea and no taste buds. My 3 dietary staples became Popchips, pickled onions and, if all else failed, smother the fuck out of it with tomato ketchup! Should I apply for Masterchef now do you think?
