By Sunday night, I was beyond being exhausted. I was completely running on empty batteries, and still am, as I type this on Wednesday. With the physical hard work of house clearing and furniture moving, the emotional strain of worrying about Billy’s mum – and mine who has come down with the bug that I [...]

  I watched the  Sheffield Utd v City FA Cup match on TV on Sunday, and had said to Billy that I was worried because I felt cautiously optimistic about this one. You see up to now in cup games, I’ve been convinced we’re going to lose – and we didn’t. Having watched the Blades [...]

As seems to be the case on a regular basis at the moment, I am here at the end of the week having to give you the edited highlights – and lowlights. Will life ever settle to a just-ever-so-slightly-less-frantic pace again? Saturday (19th – in case you’re losing track because of my tardiness) was Laura’s 15th [...]

We played West Ham at home twice in one week. Wednesday was the replay of the FA Cup 3rd round, and I couldn’t be there so watched it on the TV. It was pretty dull fare from us, and the first half was awful. We didn’t pick up a little until Boa Morte got greedy [...]

I’ve had an absolutely crazy week, and with no voice for a couple of days, I had to get on with things quietly! Thanks to my herbs, I’ve felt fine in myself, though a little tired so I’ve been working as normal. It was entertaining on Monday at the hospital, with me whispering and many [...]

We’ve been trying to take in some bad news since just before Christmas but so far, the news keeps getting worse. I haven’t blogged about it before, but as part of the idea of my blog is self-therapy, I really feel I must organise my thoughts and write about it before I drive myself round [...]

Friday was my first day to myself for absolutely ages and I intended to quickly pop to the Metrocentre, (to take Billy’s signed Harper shirt for framing,)before going on to Kingston Park for the weekly Tesco shopping. Somehow, though I spent the best part of the day at the Metrocentre, then went to PC World [...]

I have been mainly working this week. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday I was at the hospital and it was one of those weeks where nothing is straight forward.Everything was harder work, too, because I have raging tonsillitis thanks to Stephen being generous with his germs. Happily, the herbs are seeing me through, and I AM [...]

On Wed 2nd, Billy had to work, and Raji and I just spent the day relaxing and eating Christmas leftovers before the Newcastle v City game in the evening. (Already covered at the beginning of my last entry) On Thursday, I intended going food shopping for the first time since the 20th December, but took one [...]

Er, it’s been a bit hectic so this will be another speed blog just to try and catch up! FOOTBALL: City v Blackburn Went to the match. We were robbed – a draw that felt like a loss. Mum came with me, and other than this sad conclusion, we enjoyed it. The minute’s silence before the [...]
