Red Rose Writing

I was very worried about leaving the house today with it being Friday 13th and all but actually it turned out really good. It started when I got an okay insurance quote for my car in the post, then I wasn’t called into work early (for a change) so had a bit more time to [...]

The late shift last night was awful. How could I do so many things in so little time? The answer – I either do it fast and not particularly well or not at all. Both options were employed yesterday and as a result when I eventually got to my bed (in the early hours of [...]

I’m feeling lucky – not in the gambling I’m about to win the lottery sense but in the I have a great family and don’t reflect on that enough. I ‘ve been home for the weekend and although I love living here by myself I enjoy going home and being spoiled with good cooking and [...]

I think I must be getting sentimental in my old age (or just mental) as I was watching a programme about three girls going off to Oxford and they were all crying as their parents left them and I was tearing up with them. For goodness sake I didn’t even cry when I left home [...]

It’s the late shift for me today but instead of staying in bed till 10am (as had been planned) I woke up at 7am and could not get my brain to stop. In the end I just got up but now i’m waiting for the Parcel force man to deliver my books (and waiting and [...]
