Busy morning, trying not to get my hopes up.

Re: last night’s post. I went to visit the bungalow this morning after a drive by to look at a couple of other houses.

July reviews: part 2

Just a few books this time round. There’s a bit of variety in this set of reviews. Enjoy.

And here we have another government organisation that have no understanding of mental health problems.

So, yesterday my sister made me leave the house to go see the Home Options Team in Grimsby.

I’ve refrained from commenting about current events recently, but this is disturbing.

Saturday

Morning, hope you’re having a good weekend?

Boxing up my books.

I’ve come to the conclusion my migraine was a really bad headache instead. I haven’t vomited and, less than twelve hours after it started, I’m able to do something other than collapse on my bed.

So, since I’m vaguely alive, and I have a moving out deadline now (24th August ish), I’ve started boxing up my books.
