Time you realised… you’re far from perfect

DON'T BE A LIAR...BE HONEST


Isn’t it funny how the only people who want you to let an injustice go are the people who stand to lose the most from the truth. Sadly, I’ve come to the conclusion they are born liars with very little or no integrity. Rather than admit they are like us – mistakes are NORMAL – they would rather spin a web of lies and catch innocent people up in it. The trouble is once you start down that road, it is hard to then do the decent thing and admit you lied. I can’t abide calculated liars.  Let’s face it, none of us are perfect, that’s what make the human race so interesting. We ALL make mistakes. Lying is a coward’s way out. I have no respect or time for any adult that cannot admit when they are wrong. Truth and integrity is everything. Ultimately, the truth will prevail and then more lies will have to follow to dig yourself out of the almighty hole you have slumped into. The thing is…I’m made of really strong stuff and I won’t let any self-centred narcissist get away with lies and why should I? Why should any of us?  #JFT96

Apologies for going AWOL this last couple of weeks but I’m just emerging from the worst ever attack of Meniere’s. Even after ten years, I was not prepared for it to take a further turn like it has recently. Now, I’m getting back to my normal! 

Massive congratulations to my fellow Liverpool FC fans. It is amazing what you can achieve when you stand together and don’t just accept what corporate bullies want to enforce on you. Power to the people!! We shouldn’t have to accept what is unfair and unjust. Obviously, this UK Government and corporate organisations believe they can get away with anything. Jeremy Hunt proved that with his pathetic handling of the Junior Doctors farce. You can’t impose new contracts on people and he knows that. I am 100% behind anyone that wishes to stand up to bullies and 100% behind anyone that wishes to fight for their rights and principles.We can make a difference if we work together.

Sport


We are back in the thick of it. Sheffield Eagle’s Reserves season kicks off on Mother’s Day and I can’t think of a better way to spend my day than supporting my baby boy, who will be by then a fully-fledged adult by the time the season starts. How old does that make me feel? Very, very old. How proud am I? Super proud. He has turned into quite a formidable adult who will not follow the crowd and just accept what he is being told. He has a voice and is not afraid to stand alone if it is the right thing to do. 

Lucas has struggled for the last six months, as he has for the last nine
years, with winter colds, viruses and anything that is going around at school. Come March, he’ll suddenly change and will go through summer with next to nothing. ROLL ON MARCH. In spite of this he plays football and this year will be his first full year at cricket. I’m looking forward to a chilled afternoon at cricket matches.

On Friday, Wes and I went to the Sheffield Eagles first home game at the training ground at Sheffield Hallam University. Congratulations to the staff at the venue and the club. It was a great night. The atmosphere was brilliant and a triumph. I love that my son wants me there. That means everything.

The biggest project by far has been the sequel, Beyond the Lies. I haven’t butchered it, I’ve murdered it and re-written it. I learned from my first book, to trust my gut instinct and I have this time. I don’t mind admitting, I’m loving the new version and I’m almost finished!! You will hear my CHEER – worldwide - when I put those fabulous words on the manuscript – yes you got it, THE END.

In between vertigo attacks I have managed to formulate some new story ideas and work on The Nanny. It’s tough but I wouldn’t change it for the world – well maybe for some cash coming in! BUT I’m not greedy.

I’m also working on a blog about socialism. I don’t understand why it is such a dirty word. Watch out for my take on it… Last week really did take the wind from my sails and knock my confidence. It takes time to build back up again from each attack. Please bear with me…

Please be kind to yourself - nobody is perfect and once you realise the mistakes you make are part of living life, you will have a greater inner peace and move forward with so much more positivity. I learned this the hard way...trust me.

Have a fabulous week

New Year but not a new ME…

Only last week I learned the extent some people will go to, to twist your words around. In desperation to start the New Year eradicating all the bad, I enlisted the help of a techy friend and it is handy having an honours degree in computing along with a curious mind. In the space of ten minutes we found multiple accounts set up by one person. It wasn’t hard even without the technology the authorities have. Those accounts have now been blocked but more will turn up, we know they will. There is nothing more I can do because I now have evidence to show that whatever I write my words are twisted. What I don’t understand is why they read my stuff. It would be like me reading all the articles by Nigel Farage! It would NEVER happen EVER, trust me. Quite aptly this article appeared on the Sky News website and I can SOO relate to it. http://news.sky.com/story/1400239/paltrow-hits-out-at-women-who-twist-words . Whatever is said, whatever is done it won’t stop me from writing....

Who said, "Size doesn't matter!!"

I was disappointed to learn my book couldn't be judged in the Theakston's Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year awards because of it's size. Yes, whoever said size doesn't matter was wrong, clearly it does. In truth, the disappointment only lasted a couple of minutes. Come on, I was absolutely flattered and honoured to have even been nominated for such a prestigious award for my DEBUT novel. The thought that professionals in the literary world considered my work worthy of a nomination fills me with overwhelming pride and gives me goose bumps every time I think of it. The Theakston's Old Peculiar Crime Festival is being held at the Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate and features incredible writers such as Ann Cleeves, Robert Galbraith aka J K Rowling, Lynda LaPlante, John Harvey and Val McDermid to name but a few. It is a formidable line up. For full details of the festival follow this link http://harrogateinternationalfestivals.com/crime/ How could I be upset...

Menieres Madness

I live with pain every day. Some days it’s a dull ache other days it feels like my ears are going to explode. The buzzing drives me to distraction especially when trying to listen to people in crowded places. BUT the worst part of this unpredictable illness is the frustration of not being able to do the things you want or need to do. Monday started off with me writing over 10,000 words in one day. I was so pleased with myself. I had a plan for the week after spending the weekend nursing Lucas through yet another stomach bug caught at school. The amount of letters I get home from school telling me I’ not allowed to send my child to school until at least 48 hours after any sickness yet someone must be sending their child in because my cops for it every time! Anyway I should know by now that planning a week is futile. Monday night I started to feel ill and by Tuesday morning the floors were moving. Thankfully Tuesday was a training day but instead of completing tasks, I spent t...
