Managing a Plateau…
When I finally realised that all my hard-earned progress had dwindled to a stop, it did throw a spanner in the works for a while… And… I did what I normally do when something gets in my way. I lost my temper (several times) I swore (a lot), and then I settled down to what…

JAYE’S JOURNAL 18TH ~ 24TH June
I haven’t been writing in my journal this week as I don’t have anything of interest to tell you about. My life is wall-to-wall pain at the moment, and I am sick to my back teeth with the whole subject. I am not good with waiting, especially when it hurts, but have nearly…

Back From the Dead… I think!
First of all, I want to thank everyone for all their good wishes… and sincerely hope this rotten flu passes you by… This is my third week of suffering the effects of the flu and I can honestly say I haven’t known anything like it before in my life. I have had some spectacular…
