Mr Lamb Shank

November 16, 2024 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

Matching on Facebook dating, I was impressed with this man. He was forward with planning a date and seemed to grasp the concept of masculine and feminine energy. He booked a table for drinks and snacks. I was early- I always am. So I popped into the pub for a quick trip to the bathroom.… Continue reading Mr Lamb Shank

Speed Dating

October 2, 2023October 24, 2023 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

I’ve done this twice now. I’ve been thinking about it for about a year, following a local speed dating organisation on social media. Then the organiser got in touch with me via my Tinder profile and invited me along. After my experience with The Magician, I decided to go for it so I booked my… Continue reading Speed Dating

A deep thinker. Charismatic. Emotionally intelligent. 6’3”. Slender. Looks after himself. Good job, self employed. Own home. Organises social events… Continue reading The Magician

June 26, 2023January 7, 2024 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

Having finally ended a 6 year relationship back in July 2022, I decided to spend a period of time on my own. It was great at first. I took the kids to the Caribbean in October, I spent time reading about relationships and began to engage in the type of love for myself that I… Continue reading The smell of burning rubber…

Darren

June 16, 2020November 1, 2020 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

Today’s the day I think most about Darren. I think about him every so often, when there’s a trigger. But on June 16th I’ll always think of Darren. It was 2 years ago on a Saturday like any other. The day before Father’s Day. Darren was a Dad and step-dad. Chris reminded him of this,… Continue reading Darren

Mrs Doubtfire

January 5, 2020January 6, 2020 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

Just watched the last half an hour of this film with tears streaming down my cheeks. I used to watch this film and cry with laughter, not this time. The sentiment is very different when the situation the film depicts is so close to home. I’ve written before about not understanding what it’s like to… Continue reading Mrs Doubtfire

Respect

December 14, 2019December 15, 2019 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

Or two. I’ve been plodding on with my life quite nicely for the last five years. I’ve changed in so many ways and I feel quite happy with who I am and how my life is doing. I’ve been out shopping today for the last few bits for Christmas and as usual I bought some… Continue reading Respect

Me, my son and ASD

October 23, 2019December 27, 2019 ruinedbydisney1 Comment

A few weeks ago I had confirmed to me what I have known for the past 9 years. My son is 11 now and after a long road of meeting with school and CAMHs waiting lists he has received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I don’t know why they call it a disorder. For… Continue reading Me, my son and ASD

A Poem

September 20, 2019 ruinedbydisneyLeave a comment

I write poems for happy occasions (birthdays, weddings, anniversary’s) and for sad ones (funerals). This has been a sad week. I might not be any good at it but I don’t care. I thought I’d hear from you today, A sign that you’re thinking of me. A little bit of normality, A reminder of what… Continue reading A Poem

It’s not like me to brag but sometimes you’ve got to sit down, look around and realise what a bad ass you are. Tonight is one of those nights and I’m not going to apologise for it 🙌🏻 I’m sat here in my newly decorated (a few weeks ago) living room and I’m suddenly filled… Continue reading Home…
