24 year anniversary 


Today we have lived in our home for 24 years. My god I sit here and wonder where the years have gone, Our children were babies when we moved in.

I love this house most of the time. I like the feeling of space. Every room feels spacious with the high ceilings.

But at this minute it feels cold, drafty, dirty. dusty an cluttered.

This is my current view. All my plants are in here to save them choking on the dust.

I know we have to crack eggs to make an omelet, but I think we have enough now.


This is what they did yesterday. I know it doesn't look a lot but they don't stop all day long.

Steels in

Supporting wall for the steel built where the kitchen/dining room door used to be. this is now the back wall of my pantry.

Garden room wall starting to get built. Using the old war bricks.

Geoff has been snowed in as well today. We will probably strip the paper off the walls in the dining room.

Making Memories

Every time we go out with my mum my daughters like to take pictures and say we are making memories. Which of course we are.

So now every time we look into going somewhere they say lets make memories. 

Last night was part of our Christmas present off my eldest daughter. My mum has always read about serial killers. Don't ask me why.   


We went for dinner at Turtle bay which was nice. 

And then we went  to 

 Interviews With a Serial Killer




One of the first British policemen to work closely with the FBI Behavioural Science Unit in Quantico, Virginia, he has interviewed over 70 of the world’s worst serial killers and mass murderers to gain insight into their psyche.

Join Paul, to hear some of the more controversial conversations he had with Britain’s and the World’s most terrifying killers. Hear why the Yorkshire Ripper was ‘scared’ of him. Learn, what drove Robert Maudsley, the UK’s real life hannibal lechter, to kill, and why he’s kept in an ‘all glass’ cell. The Amityville Murders; what Ronald DeFeo said to be fearful of, when Paul spent the night at the house of horror.

This is a truly eyeopening and entertaining talk, that covers twelve stories and interviews. Accompanied by a visual presentation, covering the history of the individual crimes, and the killers story in their own words. Sad, frightening, and at times, funny, hear how serial killers perceive themselves, their victims, and their actions.

Paul is regarded as an expert on serial killer profiling. As a consultant on the subject, he regularly works with; authors, and film and television production companies. He is author of 34 books, mainly true crime.

He has recently had published his first crime fiction novel, Revenge of The Malakim, book one of the Grooming Parlour trilogy.

‘Walking with the Dead’ gives a unique opportunity to delve deeper into the dark reality of the mind of a serial killer.

Venue: Texture, Manchester

Doors: 7pm / Talk starts: 7.30pm.

It was a strange way to spend a Monday Evening.



I made dinner before I went for Geoff and Tasha


Cottage pie using all he veg that would have gone in the bin otherwise. The rest of the veg I made into a vegetable stock that I popped in the freezer to use at a later date. 
We will have to have this for dinner today because I am working until 21:30 tonight.
