The good, the bad and the downright disasterous
I’ve done it again. It’s another Rebecca. It is. I’m a big sensible adult now, and I can see when my insanity is trying to take me places where I really shouldn’t go. That’s why I’m getting a free timber and damp treatment survey done. And then I’m going down there with a surveyor who’ll…

Do you see the impressed?
Securon, the makers of my now faulty seatbelt and Charles Ware’s Morris Minor Centre in Bath have agreed, impressively, to replace with a new one, my 3 year old faulty seatbelt; this is better than I wanted and I am, to be honest, very impressed. Thus I shall favour them with gifts of cash (in…

Sing if you’re proud to be British… Oh, you better not
Uh, just click. Then weep for Britain.

Welcome to 1965
Some things weren’t great about the 60s… Tasteful, no? So I did my first house viewing today and I have to admit that I came away from it feeling… well… neutral. I didn’t love the house, and I didn’t hate it. I couldn’t see anything structurally terrible, it’s had its roof redone at some point,…

And with a summary of the news
1: I’ve got my appointment through. It appears it may not be a mammogram; it’s a full breast exam though, comprising (potentially) an ultrasound (definate), a mammogram (possible), and a needle aspiration (hopefully unlikely). I am, unsuprisingly, not looking forward to this. It’s 5 days before my birthday. Be gentle with me, I’ll be stressed.…

Today
So, after I posted my last post, Nikki – friend and saviour – came round and persuaded me to take the day off work and just try to get my mind off stuff. After a cup of coffee, and me nearly breaking down on the phone to work in a conversation which ran: Kate: Oh…

I’m sure it’s nothing, but…
Medical related. Possibly triggering. Possibly TMI.

Unclean! Unclean!
When I was filled with the youthful joys of the world (i.e. a few years ago) estate agents (realtors) were considered somewhat slimey. Indeed, my family’s experience with them left me thinking that dealing with Estate Agents was somewhat like diving headlong into a bucket of jellied eels. Dealing with estate agents was an experience…

Damn Potatos
My sig has, for a long time, read “The whole plan relied on the innate curiosity of the potato”. I wrote this down on a piece of paper at some point in my teens – I heard it on the radio and thought it was the most fantastic quote ever. Years later I found it…
