Fights, sex and anniversary nights…

We did manage to get through our wedding anniversary without a fight…well almost. Here is what happened, we decided NOT to plan anything (coz that always starts the fight) and take the day as it came. So we got up and did some paperwork with the tentative view to go out for dinner at...

Where Rape is not a crime and why I like my husband today…

I am having a bad day shouting at my computer screen as I write. I read with complete and utter horror in a magazine this week that in Pakistan –women who were raped were jailed or worse….stoned to death. The law that they have purportedly broke is called Hudood Ordinance....

Fights, Cat-faces AND Smoked Haddock…

Yes all of the above are involved in today’s blog. First of all Ashley and her dad have been locked in battle for two whole days. Let me explain, Ashley tells her dad she likes smoked haddock fish, so he buys her it every week. This week he bought smoked haddock the size of a...

Old People Who Shout in the Street…

Today in Glasgow the weather was really weirdly hot, I mean full on sunshine, warm breezes and sweaty backs as you walked through the humid city streets. It was weird. It is mid-September, this is Scotland . I sat outside in a street café and could feel some strange African-like...

Old people who kiss in the street…..

Husband and daughter Ashley came to meet me today after a meeting. As they both entered the bar, they passed in the entrance an elderly couple (mid to late 60’s probably) who were locked in a passionate kiss….seriously into a massive big clinch and my daughter was horrified “Arrrggghhh...

Fighting again…

Well there are more territorial issues going on in my home than there are in the Middle East…well I know that’s an exaggeration – but I am prone to some exaggeration when it comes to describing my relationship- well not really exaggeration, more exacerbating and explaining the problem is how I...

Maybe I think too much...?

How can there be 120 odd socks in my laundry basket? I know! That’s way too fucking many odd socks for one family to own. Where did their partners go? Did they divorce each other and jump out of my window? Did they argue as they were rolled up together, like a fiery couple (possibly...

Ashley is FAB…I am so proud!

Ashley my daughter got her exam results today. Now bear in mind that she was sitting her exams for Uni in between performing her Sketch Show at this years Fringe in Edinburgh . Yet today she got A’s and B+ RESULTS! I am so very proud of her as I knew the pressure she was under....

Life with Godley the mental patient …

I still have that lump on my cheek, it will not go away. I think I have to maybe go to a voodoo witch to get it removed completely. The antibiotics never seemed to work, they only gave me thrush. Now I have a lumpy face and an itchy vag…wonderful! I am now on special bifidicus...

Meeting Friends…

I had my last gig in Liverpool last night and went back to the hotel for a good sleep. The hotel is also a recording studio and private club so late at night music blasts constantly straight into my room. Normally that would annoy me, yet the music was awesome and after 15 years of having...

I love Liverpool…

I managed to scam my way from London to Liverpool by train, ok here is the story. When I booked the train ticket online I mistakenly booked it for Thursday the 7 th of September as opposed to Friday the 8 th . Now I did try to rectify seconds after the confirmation email came through...

London is hot…

The weather here is awesome; I am in the most amazing apartment in the West End of London. I have a huge penthouse suite that Crown Lawn organised; they are just the best people in the world and look after me like I was their own family. I love them. The balcony looks over the whole of this...

Oban and beyond…

So finally after a stand up argument, throwing useless clothes into a suitcase – tears and snot running down my face, husband and I finally reconciled and set off in the car for the 3 hour journey to Oban on the coast of Scotland . We seem to argue at everything we say, see and...

Enough with the lumpy face...

I cannot believe this lumpy looking red boil is STILL on my cheek, I have tried everything to get it to come up to a head, I have had an insurmountable set of treatments been slapped on it, I have had hot water on it to draw it up….I mean it has had more attention than Princess Diana’s sexual...
