Don’t let the B#stards grind you down
I’ve always been someone who… not exactly breaks the rules (although – I won’t lie – it’s been known)..

My LIFE STORY (well some of it) By Tanya aged 47 and a Quarter.
Someone’s just handed me a metaphorical trumpet and told me to blow it. So I’ve cleaned the place, made a cup of tea, let it go cold, cleaned out my bag and made another cup of tea. The car still needs doing. I suppose it’s the same reason I’m not mad keen on taking selfies,… Read More >
