If anyone ever wanted to make a film about me, they wouldn’t be short of material. This is what happened to me this morning. At 9am I was rudely awakened from my sleep by three armed men banging at the door. They were gendarmes (policemen) and they wanted to talk to me about a very [...]

It’s only a piece of metal, isn’t it?
August 21, 2008
Nose squashed and wheels buckled, my little, green car made its last ever journey today…to the breakers yard.
I was handed a cheque for 50 Euros (it was worth about 2,500 Euros before the accident), then asked to sign a piece of paper agreeing to its destruction.
As it was hoisted onto the back of a [...]
For your eyes only! – Part 2
August 18, 2008
Finding an anonymous love letter in my postbox the other day has left me feeling slightly uneasy. Who would try and woo a grown woman with torn, lined paper and dodgy handwriting? My gut instinct was that it wasn’t someone I would like to meet in a dark alley, so I thought long and hard [...]

There was no envelope, just a scrappy piece of lined paper, which had obviously been torn straight out of a school jotter. Intrigued by the title I unfolded it, unsure of what I would find. It read [...]
‘Snakes and Ladders’ – That’s Life!
August 8, 2008
Yesterday I sat on the floor playing ‘Snakes and Ladders’ with Sonny.
The first time he landed on a snake he got frustrated and wanted to get up and walk away. I told him the game wasn’t over yet, that he still had a chance to win and if he continued to play, with the [...]
Had a bad day?

I have.
This morning I had a rottweiler from the bank trying to frighten me into upping the repayments on a £23,000 loan I have been saddled with since leaving my ex. After going through my monthly income and expenditure (bills, petrol, food etc), and talking to me like a naughty child, we established that I [...]
