Back Crack and Sacre Bleu

by admin on 30 September, 2008

And so it was, whilst lying face down on the treatment table in the Chiropractic’s office with the bones in my spine being cracked and the muscles of my back being pummelled, that I had that ‘Sacre bleu’ moment.

Why I Want To Feel Hungry

In this post I told you that I had a plan to tackle some of the neglected areas of my life.

Women’s Work: The Hardest Work I’ve Ever Done

I’m not sexist

In this post I ended by posing the question:
Where do I go from here?
Well, I’m going to the future.

A Confused Take That Fan tagged me today – and glad I am because I get to tell you a few more things about myself in a lighthearted way.
I don’t know what the rules are but I’m going to play anyway.
