I've ended up not really do my blog but the past month has taught me sometimes it's nice to get things out there even if no one reads or comments!!!!
Our Allotment is like a persistent thorn in my side. We have had some good produce from it but still the amount of work that needs to go into the digging over means only a third is in use. This means we constantly get complaints...about the weeds, about the condition, etc etc.
I'm not a mother so I won't blame children for my idleness. But I do have my reasons for being a super slacker!!
1) I am very very disorganised and I find it incredible hard to set up systems and processes to keep things ticking along.
2) I work stupid hours. If you want more of an idea of the kind of work I do see http://nyww2014.blogspot.co.uk/ or look at our new TYS-early help video
3) I am a carer. Without getting into too many details I have my own mental health and that of others to worry about. I have family members with ailments and disabilities and I'm a sucker for saying no!
4) I am Lazy!
What I want vs what I can be bothered to do are two completely different things and the benefits do not our weigh the costs! I love yoga but if I had to pick between it and chocolate cake... you get my point.
What I need to do right now for the next 6 days is come to a decision. Do I really want this?
Do I want to have a beautiful perfect allotment that I can be proud out? Do I care enough to slave away when I can find free time? Do I want to sit on my fat arse and watch TV and eat Aldi chocolate ganache? (it is amazing to be fair!) What do I want?

The Sky is falling...
...or maybe Chicken Little was exaggerating?
2014 started almost a week ago now and so far this year has been Pants to be brutally honest.
I've spent most of what is left of my time off work falling out with the family and trying to justify my own self worth.
The last few days have been particularly hard. We have long wanted to move out of this town, to start afresh somewhere new, with prospects and if I'm going to be blunt about things better weather, more interesting lifestyle, but that's all so far away.
That damn light at the end of the tunnel feels an eternity away and things need to change NOW!!!
So last night I made the toughest decision ever....I'm cancelling SKY!
....I know don't be too hasty, have you thought this through....
Yes I have! and I need to do this, too much of my life has been wasted sat in front of a TV!!
Did you know that the average American will spend 9 years watching TV?
That means for the rest of us peoples who watch more than average which I'm sure I do we are losing valuable time that could be spent doing something, anything more useful!!
