Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to accompany a 4 year old and someone with anxiety to a (probably packed) Christmas Fayre… Cue music! The school Christmas Fayre has been looming for a while to be honest. Sometimes B has been keen on going, sometimes she’s said she wont be able to …

I managed to get the Limited Edition Lego Present this year that you can see above, featuring ourselves obviously. This year I’ve also again got the Lego City Advent Calendar and I’ve decided to blog each day’s build on the evening of that day. I’m not sure if I’ll add them to this post, or …
When B was away last week at her dads I did what I always do when she goes there and watched films in the evening that I know she won’t ever want to watch (To be fair I also talk to myself a lot when she’s not around, eat really badly and let the dog …
You can see my general info to the right (Or at the bottom on mobile).
To summarise, I’m a husband, father and dog owner. My wife suffers from mental health problems, most notably anxiety and depression but more recently this has included occasional psychosis and it’s aftereffects. You can read a little more on the About page.
At the moment I’m covering a mix of posts that focus mainly on Mental Health, Fatherhood, Work, the Dog, Me Time and Life in general. To be honest lots of the posts contain a mixture of all of them, which kind of makes sense as they are all my life. I’ve always had a bit of a thing with Lego to be honest, so I thought I’d incorporate that into the blog too.
All new posts appear on the Home Page, and you can select a category you want to look into more at the top of each page. All old posts are available so feel free to have a click around and look back at some of the old posts as some of them should set the scene about our lives a bit up to now.
Had a good B-ism this afternoon. We were sat checking through the news, Facebook, Twitter etc and B comes across a news article about Facebook. She started to read it out loud and said “Facebook bosses forced to hand over documents and cakes?”… which to be honest, if I was a business owner I would …
Updated 14th December 2018 I’ve not been feeling all that great today to be honest. Nothing specific, just generally everything’s just been getting me down a bit, plus I’m tired, plus X has been playing up a bit. Before tea, B was trying to help figure out what we could eat and knew I was …
B wants to be able to do more to help out people and animals, it makes her feel better, as it does all of us. However, as she can’t get out and about she needs ways that she can do this from home that fit around her mental health issues. Giving a donation to charity …
I started the evening enjoying a “Pizza Door”, that’s X speak for Domino’s with X and R. I’ve ended the evening fishing a trouser button out of a toilet filled with my own pee. I can now look forward to hunting out a sewing kit (which wasn’t where I left it!) and sitting sewing it …
This year, like the previous 2 years, I will be taking part in the Aspire Channel Swim. This is a challenge to swim 22 miles in 12 weeks in order to raise awareness and money for people suffering from spinal cord injuries. You can see all the details on their website linked above where they …
Making friends is hard, I know this, I’ve got my own confidence issues that make it seem like a herculean task to “chat” to someone I don’t know, especially being the first person to say something. In theory, because we now live back where I went to school I should be surrounded by friends and …
