Spoof emails

Beware of receiving this email. I found out too late but it is a known phishing site. When you follow the link it looks like PayPal so I filled out my card details etc thinking nothing of it. Luckily my mum warned me that it could be a spoof email, when I went back into…

Reaching out

Reaching out to someone can often be a hard thing to do. You may be a solitary person and have relied only on yourself for so long that you don’t know how to ask for help. Perhaps you’re scared of rejection, it does happen and what do you do then when you’re knocked further back…

Life is hard

Have you ever said “you would all be better off without me?” What you really mean is that you would be better off without you. Things would be so much easier, no stress, worry but then if you’re gone I suppose it wouldn’t matter. Of course there is the ripple effect to consider,if you decided…

Forgive and forget

To forgive and forget is a hard thing to do especially when the person isn’t deserving. You know that they shouldn’t even be allowed in your life after the pain they have caused you but sometimes it hurts more, to not have them around even though the likelihood of them doing it again is almost…

Lacking motivation

I’ve been seriously lacking motivation lately. I would say it’s the dreary weather but I actually prefer rainy days. I have a WIP that I desperately want to get on with but can’t seem to take that step. I also have a book that I started reading but again, my full attention isn’t on it…

Audiobook vs reading

  I haven’t as yet purchased an audiobook but have considered it. The thing is, it kind of feels like cheating. I suppose if you’re working out, it would be useful since you can’t use your hands but I feel that it takes the experience away. I think I’d get bored having someone droning on…

Supporting your parents

I have lots of fond memories from my childhood but one that stands out the most is watching my dad decorate. He used to take me to some of his jobs when I was younger and I would sit there watching, taking everything in. It wasn’t long before I was decorating my own bedroom and…

Childhood revisited

Christmas is the time of year when I go into a mad search for toys for my kids. I always try to find things that will keep them entertained but toys these days aren’t as good as they were in my day. Having spent the last few days trawling through eBay I have to say…

History repeating itself

We all make mistakes in our lives. What if they return but except this time it’s not you making them, it’s your children? No one wants it to happen and you try and try to tell them but they don’t listen. Did you? Teenagers very rarely listen to reason, they know best. You’re quoted that…

Blinded by love

Have you ever been blinded by love? I have. You care so deeply about a person that you don’t see the faults that are clear for all to see, except you. People try to tell you, warn you that you’re being taken for a ride but you won’t hear of it. To you, there is…
