Golden Nuggets....

If you hear the words 'Golden Nuggets' you'd be excused for thinking that they are something good, something of value perhaps....  I guess you could even be excused for thinking of them as edible, after all, it sounds a little bit like 'chicken nuggets' I suppose or indeed the breakfast cereal.... this is NOT what I am talking about (although I do love edible nuggets!!!), please do not mistake them....  What I am talking about here, are actually 'tonsilloliths'......

What are tonsilloliths?

How Many Times Do I Have To Ask You????

It's 9.30am on a Sunday morning.  "We are going out in one hour, can you please get ready...." I demand from the bathroom while getting ready myself.  We are only off to the shops and perhaps to pick up a Costa treat but it will be nice to leave the house at some point today.  Our original plans were to go to Whitstable Castle Fayre but that has been cancelled (not sure why but it was cancelled 2 days ago and I have only just checked....) and now it's raining....

Procrastination...

Why do today, what you can do tomorrow or the next day or indeed, the day after that......  I am far, far too good at this procrastinating malarkey, in fact, I'd even go as far as to say that I excel in it!!  I have had times when I have tried to discipline myself better and stop putting off jobs that really need doing, I really have but, since I am so good in this field of procrastination, I have decided to create this 'How to procrastinate' blog post!  So, here goes, check out the below guide to procrastinating; When you have a job to do but don't want to do it just yet:

The Oldies

Old people can be such a joy.  Of course there are some horrible old people out there who are opinionated and stuck in their ways, who never have a positive word to say about anything or anyone else, which I am quite sure that I will be writing a blog or two on, in the not too distant future....  But for today, I will talk about the good ol' girls and boys ?  They usually have more time on their hands which means that they can give more time to us without having to rush off here, there and everywhere.  They can sit with us (or us with them..) sharing a cup of tea (not literally sharing the

People Don't Know Me...

When you have mental health issues, it seems there are always others who do not understand - even those who also suffer from their own mental health problems and you therefore think they will be more understanding - they are not (or are too busy thinking about their own mental health to consider yours too... ?)  There are family members who suffer with anxiety and some with depression and some with both - they do usually go hand in hand in one way or another.  I suffer more with anxiety but this can lead me into dark places sometimes when the anxiety plays me up or when things 'go wrong'.

Toilet Rhyme

Just how do they do it?????  Men, how do men manage to splash so much around the toilet when having a wee?!? Not just the toilet bowl but on the top of the cistern too (not one of those old fashion types that are above head height of course (that I think look lovely) - although sometimes I reckon that Dave would still give that a good go if we had one...) and there are little splashes of old yellow piss giving my white tiles a speckled egg appearance in places - yuck, just yuck! 

Strange Day

It's been a bit of a strange day today.  The weather is a bit pants - it's dull, wet and windy and I had no idea as to what to do to entertain us all.  I guess here is where I should now be writing something along the lines of....  So, I wracked my brains hard and came up with this marvellous plan that kept Freya, Isabella, Oliver, Dave and myself excitedly entertained for the entire afternoon - we had the best day!!!  The day was nothing like this in reality......

Burnt Burger Bun At McDonald's

Now some people will say that writing about a burger bun is a ridiculous thing to do...  I, however, feel quite passionate about this particular burger bun because it was mine!  I just love my food and a burnt burger bun with my Grand Big Mac is not what I expect!  It completely ruined the meal for me so I sulked for a bit as I couldn't be bothered to go back and change it...  I then decided to resume eating it with my fries and orange juice followed by a twix McFlurry (how delicious are these?!?) and reassured myself that it wasn't good for me anyway so perhaps someone was trying to tell m

Blackhead Removal - Gross!!!

That was diabolically, astronomically, totally and utterly one of the most nauseating, repulsive things that I have had to do for quite some time ?no  My handsome fella has had this protruding blackhead on his back for quite a while.  You know when you are scratching their back (like the good partner that I am, I do this on occasion ?) and you feel it once and then avoid it like the plague for the next few times, then you forget and knock it again but you just cannot bring yourself to squeeze it f
