| The State in Liverpool - it was a state |
So one minute I'm pogo-ing up and down in a very dodgy Liverpool nightclub off my face on cider & black and then I wake up in a house in the south of England. I've got a husband, a daughter and a humungous overdraft.
I very badly wanted to be a journalist when I was younger. Somehow that ambition ended up as a career in marketing which in turn morphed again so now I'm a (girl)Geek. But I still love WRITING so this me carrying on WRITING but in blog form.
Not for the faint hearted no doubt this content will feature some bad language, the occasional rant and some opinions you may not like (anyone who is a Royalist look away now). Some of it will be very embelished and some of it completely fictional: I like making people laugh ok?
I have a Cast List of the main people in my life. If you want to audition let me know. Most of the names have been changed to protect the vulnerable - you know who you are...

| These people are not me & my sisters |
The Cast List
Ekky Dearly departed father & the love of my life.
Angus Somewhat autistic husband but with enough patience and kindness to cope with me
Cariad Immaculately conceived daughter. She is a 40 year old midget with a smart mouth and is already dishing out one liners. Sound like anyone?
Middle Sis Beloved sister and my best friend. Hard as nails.
Big Sis Beloved sister although frequently MIA. Hard as nails.
Mother Staunch Irish Catholic and mad as a box of frogs.
Cuz My favourite cousin with a heart of gold. Makes a mean margharita. Wears carrier bags round her ankles.
The Human Pinball Welsh ex-drinking partner now exiled in Glasgow. Used to neck Stella but now is a Domestic Goddess.
Wilson Scouse mate still in Scouseland. Funny as fuck - even more so than watching someone falling over and badly hurting themselves.
Mac A dear friend I've never actually met but I bet she's a great drinking partner. Will be Ireland's first producer of Beef Jerky.
Acton Baby Ex-Ealing drinking partner. Health concious until in the same room as me - bring on the fags.
Badger Ex-Ealing drinking partner. Likes rolling about in the back of black cabs.
Nobby My Nissan Micra.
DS My Boss. "DS" is an abbreviation for Dick Splash.
The Foster Sons The blokes I work with. I spend a lot of my time trying to sort their lives out.
WRFU My passion and endless source of disappointment.
LFC Generator of much swearing and deep sighs.

| Jean Rhys - she was a miserable old bitch & I adore her |
Jean Rhys, Emile Zola, Alice Munro, William Trevor, Mary Webb, Kate Atkinson, Spike Millgan, Katherine Mansfield, Dorothy Parker, Muriel Spark et al - can't live without these folks.
