I'm not afraid to keep on living...



I do believe that I've had the MCR album playing on my headphones for a little too long - my life is becoming akin to a goth rock opera.

I'm a GOD and I'm burning off my flesh - ready for the future...

Seeing Foxes

Fox Symbolism - Cunning, provider, intelligence, magic, diplomacy, wildness.

My father was a 'Foxall'. During the time before and as he was dying my mother and I both saw a number of dead foxes. The universe is funny sometimes - it needs to give you a good old kick up the arse for you to be able to 'get' things.

Then last night, after my first Working on the Body session I stopped to see a huge dog fox in a garden. He was yards from me and just looked; and looked; and looked; and looked at me. I think I can take that as a good sign.

Thinking about Dad.

The other day when I read about Anita Roddick having Hep C; I cried all the way home. I'm sad for her and what she and her family will undoubtedly have to go through but I'm also happy that Hep C will now get the attention it deserves. It's estimated that some 200 million people around the world have it and yet in the UK there is only one organisation that is there to support people suffering and their familes. If you do think about giving to charity please, please think about giving to Hepatitis C Trust

Even if you can't donate please sign their petition here to the Prime Minister to accept that the current public hepatitis C awareness campaign is not working and that the rate of diagnosis is nowhere near enough to prevent thousands of avoidable deaths.

Be still my beating heart...Russell Brand AND Noel Fielding...



and another with Russell rambling on...

Happy Valentine's Day

Soppy cards, flowers, chocolates and gifts...you gotta love it!

Depression - a light at the end of the tunnel?

The seemingly endless depression that comes with cloudy and cold winter months is slowly but surely being abated by:

• Becoming the proud owner of tickets to all 3 London dates of Manic Street Preachers tour in May. OH...MY...GOD...who was I kidding when I said that they don't really matter to me anymore, I am so not over them at all...I almost cried for joy this morning when all my bookings went through.
  
• Beginning working of the body weekly sessions to address my fraught relationship with food.
• Losing 10lbs in 4 weeks on the Slimming World diet.
  
• Being joined in London by the lovely Julie (hurrah!) and starting walking evenings instead of joining a gym.
• Looking forward to Centreparcs in the first weekend of March (note to self: buy a new swimming costume).
• Actually looking forward to becoming 30...
  
• Crafting it up to max - you should see my new plastic bag holder and lavender bags!
  
• EBay craft shopping - leftover Cath Kidston fabric for me to play with? Yes please!
  
• EBay spends on CD's that I've denied myself for months.
• Making lovely dinners for friends
• Making, baking and creating in the kitchen - I've made some lovely spicy tom sauces that I'm very proud of.
• Planning the rest of my life with a wonderful young man that makes me extremely happy indeedy.

Now, just to get on top of the endless to do list at work and all will be sorted!

Overexcited Boo:
