Blinking Twice…
Sleep deprivation can do many things to a person. Anxiety, mood swings, sometimes hallucinations….but it can’t put toads in potties.

WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
What’s for dinner? Well….It’s glaringly obvious from my recent receipts from ASDA and the Co-Op that when I don’t plan meals, I spend a fortune. I was going to say small fortune, but honestly, it’s a fortune. I hold my breath at the checkout and smile and say thank you whilst inside I’m crying and…
