I am sipping coffee upstairs and about to have an apricot live yoghurt. I have washed my strawberries and have my meds to take after breakfast. All in time for Trevor Phillips. Excellent!

I checked my mobile upstairs and had received an email which said I had won on the lottery. I knew in my heart it would be a couple of quid or so but there was a part of me… l just checked… £2. Oh well!

I’m trying to be helpful and find a bridge between the members of my family who have fallen out but I’m not really doing very well. Maybe in time!

I really hate it when there’s nastiness or aggression within the family. These sorts of things really hurt and leave me feeling very sad. We are all different individuals within ours just like any family so we will have different opinions on all sorts of stuff but we need to accept each other’s viewpoints and move past it. I am not saying we can’t discuss these things openly because we should be able to but no place for being spiteful or unpleasant!

Just a reminder that when the clocks changed including my devices the time on my blog didn’t change. But when they change back quite soon it will, hopefully, say the right time for six months. I have no idea how to do it manually.

I’m really tired this morning again. It’s gone 10.00 and I have just come downstairs. I didn’t have any alcohol yesterday but I’m just exhausted at the moment. Kettle just boiled… it’s calling me… coffee!

It’s the Tories Conference all this week which is being covered by the News channels but after 14 years of them in power I just really can’t listen to them anymore. If they were going to do all this stuff then why didn’t they?

There’s still a thing about wearing the other gender’s clothes. A man wearing women’s clothes or a woman wearing men’s clothes. It’s a lot better than it used to be but the problem is still being instigated when women put their little girls into dresses even though the mothers are wearing jeans. I didn’t put my son in anything that I wouldn’t wear. It really is very thoughtless of selfish people doing this to their children. Maintaining the status quo. And then there’s boys haircuts…

I felt so tired on Saturday and didn’t manage to do any of my usual chores or start to read my New Statesman and my hair is badly in need of a wash. I should catch up with everything over the next few days.

Looks like the government is finally going to legally recognise Humanist marriages. It will take a while to come through but looks like it will go ahead. Excellent news!
