Today while shopping in sainsburys ed pI was approached by a lovely woman who commented on how fantastic she thought I looked. I would just like to say thank you again for making my day, you weren't to know but although I have at the moment a lovely head of pink hair I am actually undergoing chemotherapy , and after some awful days when you feel like a wreck today's comment really cheered me up. So whoever you are THANK YOU.

Kind words from strangers can have a major positive impact. I still remember a moment in 1992 when I was struggling with my shopping in Sainsbury's with a new born in a sling and a fractious toddler in the trolley. I was exhausted, stressed and feeling pretty terrible. An elderly woman quietly commented to me "you are doing a terrific job, well done".


It made me feel so much better, and I now try and say positive things to parents in the same situation.

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
