Tweet So it’s the first day of a squeaky clean new year! Without making resolutions I can’t keep, I am going to spend the next 5 days eating all the crap out of my house. This is so that when I get back to normal next week and back to work, I can look forward [...]

Tweet I remember it well, Sunday night listening to the chart show on the radio, Mam combing lumps out of my long red hair looking for nits. Eating the left-overs from Sunday lunch for supper and watching my Dad making his sandwiches for the early shift down the pit. They looked old to me then, [...]

Tweet Just thought I’d have a little RANT about the “help” that people get when they’re unemployed. So when you’re sitting comfortably I’ll begin.
