This is about me finding myself and the story of how I have changed my life, become self employed and how I developed the products which are now my livelihood. Its the story of all the trials and problems and wonders of life that happen. I cannot even think what it would be like to return to the me of 2008 now and altho I am very poor really financially I am so very much happier and quality of life is so much better. And I am closer to being free than ever before in my adult life.

blogging and eating cheaply
I am making a very early new years resolution. By Making it now it gives me time to get it right! Anyway I can get to proctice being good. I am going to try to blog at the very least every 3rd day. Every day if possible. Maybe I should invest in some sort of mobile internet so I can do it during my lunch hour. Cant really afford anything right now tho! And hopefullty soon I will have my own time back during my lunch hour ( or half an hour as it has turned out..........but then I have no contract) I am dying to blog whats happeneing at work but cant right now due to possibly dropping myself in it since this blog is live on the web. Theres lots afoot tho! Once it actually happens I will blog the whole story cos it wont matter anymore then. In meantime I have to be sensible and stay quiet. Tho i am BURSTING! Owls Wings again is inspiring me and also Lunaea Weatherstone`s blog. Never been there before. Great tattoos. I really need to get my own rubbish 1980s mess updated. I still have what has been described as a coughing corgi with wings on my shoulder - meant to be a bat with blood dripping from its fangs - from my goth days! Not that I have ever really stopped being a Goth/Punk just I am abit old for most of the clothing these days and really I think most of it is a rip off. Occassionally you see something and its lovely. I have a beautiful black velvet top with floaty sleeves from Dare Gothic in Cornwall thats just lovely ( and very goth too) and also very wearable. Anyway that aside I think you remain inside what you are as a teenager unless ofcourse it was really just a fashion. For me it way a way of life. And I have never really left it behind me. Tho nowadays I dont just wear black. Infact nowadays I think I mostly wear homemade or cheap and when I buy new tends to be fair trade etc so I dont afford much new! One thing thats good, Christmas wont cost too much this year since all relatives, male and female and kids, are getting soap and bath bombs etc. -has to be the way. My dogs are turning veggie as of today too. Not thru morals but cos its cheaper...........well when your whole house is the same its cheaper than buying and cooking 2 different types of meals. I dont suppose they will be veggie forever since it seems wrong but we are too poor to feed em expensive meat now and they are not eating the rubbish that is pet food especially now I have been told it actually contains dogs and cats! You know I hate the insert button, just wiped half of this post! I have no prooof it contains dogs and cats but I have been told it does and have no reason to doubt it. After all in the 1980s it was common knowledge that human biscuits containing so called " animal fats" contained dogs and cats so why not pet food now! Anyway my dogs absolutely love Redwood food lincolnshire sausages ( so do we) and currently you get huge packs of em for just £5 ( direct from redwoodfoods.co.uk and they have an offer on their roasts too!). Even if we get thru 2 packs ( dogs have a bit more than just one pack a week cos I am worried they will suffer and be underfed - hopefully they wont get fat but we have problems getting thru a whole pack so it will work out to be 2 packs a week approximately between us and the dogs) thats still less than food is costing right now. We are going to eat sausage everything. I made sausage casserole with em last night and was yummy. Bonus is they are ready to eat so if you fancy a quick sausage sarnie you dont have to cook em! Or cool em for dogs! Looked up vegetarian dogs on internet and most pepes give em dried food but i dont want to do that so we will see how they do on the same as we eat. They already have beans and veggies sausages occassionally ( in can). Its a good quickie for when things are running late and they love em! Other than that till now they eat meat and veg meals - human style but its costing too much. I feel they should really be veggie too or at least we should try them on it since we are both vegans and have been for years. And there will be no guilt at teh checkout when I have meat in the trolley which is a real hassle for me to cope with. Am a a wuss? Maybe! Other than that we are continuing our dried pulses extravaganza that we have been on for last couple of months. I seem to have usually 3 pans of different pulses soaking and cooking so we get a constant stream of chick peas, white kidney beans, pinto beans, aduki, lentils etc. Much cheaper than buying beans in cans and we get loads for our money. And other than that we will be eating whatever is cheap vegetable wise at tesco, aldi and sainsbury etc.
