• Life's little ironies From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (303 days old)

  One of the ironies of life; how one can be hated and still occupy such a large portion of the other person's brain, use up so much of their negative energy. Big egos are the worst: they never let go a… more

• The luxury of chicken nuggets From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (303 days old)

  I chew the end of my pencil thoughtfully. Rent. Bills. Broadband (God forbid that should be missing!) TV licence (for the boys, as I never watch TV). Car insurance, fuel and bills (Ouch! This … more

• Sorry From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (304 days old)

  It seems that even my private posts offend people. I am sorry if anybody feels I am deluded, sad or superficial. I do not like to be the object of 'derision', and I most certainly do not 'need hel… more

• New business idea From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (304 days old)

  I slammed the cyber-door. Again. Maybe I should open a school for 'budding primadonnas'. Complete with red curtains and kohl make-up. … more

• I thought I'd been forgotten From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (305 days old)

  I drove, and the steering wheel felt sticky under my hands, the brain hardly registering road signs and other cars. For once in my life, I was early. As I sat in the unknown carpark, I listened to my … more

• How bad is that? From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (305 days old)

  I am too scared to lay my tarot. … more

  Wish me luck and mean it. Please. … more

• The last laugh From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (306 days old)

  I shall allow myself a spot of naughtiness... A mature woman has accused me of it, over the last few months, and I was innocent. Before the end of this week, I shall be guilty. Once you are blamed… more

• No other From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (307 days old)

  I used to think that burning without ever melting was a curse. Now I know it's the only way. … more

• Free From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (311 days old)

  Tonight, my friends, I am finally free. Free from all the pain. Extinguished. Tonight I feel I can finally shut the book whose pages have been flapping away too long, and love myself again… more

• A splash into 'me' time From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (311 days old)

  I thought I'd go and buy my laptop today. I also decided to combine that with some physical exercise, and cycle there. The other side of town, across the canal. Estimated overall distance, about thirt… more

• 'Me' time From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (312 days old)

  London. Yes. Definitely London. It'd be foolish not to. The whoosh of a train, a thousand heels on the platform, a jump and a dive. To be lost and never be found. … more

• Alone or with company? From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (312 days old)

  That's it. I decided. I am using some of my time-for-myself to go and buy a laptop. As I have absolutely no idea about which one to get, do you think I should risk the nylon shirt-infested waters … more

• Alone From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (312 days old)

  I shall be on my own for the next couple of days. My Soon-to-Be Ex is taking the boys to see some friends up North. Not for me the sudden opening of the bedroom door in the morning, with two littl… more

• My cup From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (313 days old)

  I poured it, and it was carelessly spilt. The magic is, it just replenishes itself. … more

• Mr B From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (313 days old)

  He came out of his car, and I came out of mine. I frisked myself for pain, the flooding-in of memories. I know every inch of his person; my eyes wandered over jacket and trousers, the ancient wallet a… more

• Comforting From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (313 days old)

  Beyond and above fermenting envy, the exquisite embroidery of revenge, asthmatic threats and the laughable rolling of adipose egos, the truth has an unerring habit of emerging. One day. … more

• What do you do with your ghosts? From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (315 days old)

  We all have our ghosts to deal with. I stashed most of mine deep into my closet, and jumped up and down on the pile to keep it compact and avoid release. Many hold me in their invisible silky net. A … more

• A line From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (315 days old)

  I draw the line here. … more

• Sugar in the cupboard From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (317 days old)

  I got a text this morning. 'I'll burn a disc for you. And I now have a fridge AND some sugar.' Do you think Mr Single wants me to volunteer the soap? … more

• The iExorcist From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (318 days old)

  Update on the iDisaster. Until two hours ago, thanks to Mr Single, I had the Good and Beautiful on my iPod nano: Coldplay, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Snowpatrol, REM, Fratelli, Radiohead... He has go… more

• iDisaster From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (318 days old)

  Oh dear. I appear to have erased ALL the albums so carefully loaded last night on my sodding iPod. What does 'reformatting' mean? Does it mean 'I shall erase everything you've done so far, sil… more

• It's either the ipod or sugar in the cupboard From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (318 days old)

  I have a brand new ipod nano. Orange, as it were... My favourite colour. Could I set it up, and load ANY music on it? No. Someone I know offered to help me, so I turned up at his house wit… more

• My Christmas present From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (319 days old)

  A little voice pierces the thickness of my sleep. It is neither early or late, but I am groggy with a night spent awake and throbbing. 'Mamma! Father Christmas has been to my room! I have my prese… more

• My boys' moving interest in Christmas Eve From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (320 days old)

• For Kevin: my Christmas resolutions From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (320 days old)

  At this time, when in previous years my usual thoughts would have turned to closer encounters with red candles and crackers, midnight mass and Him above, I am instead deciding what I shall try and avo… more

• The most real From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (320 days old)

  Up and down the dunes of my emotional, bare landscape. I'd love to claim it to be windswept and gloriously gloomy, but in reality it is just an ordinary, common heath of sterile dry grass and shallow … more

• The inverted psychology of a bare tree From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (321 days old)

  When I was a teenager, I was asked to take a personality test. I was to draw a tree. So I did. It was a normal tree, with green branches and a brown trunk. Healthy enough, but plain. Then I wa… more

• 6 miles +1mile + 20ft From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (322 days old)

  Let me add another chapter to my ongoing 'bike ride in Milton Keynes' saga. Here's the numbers for today: 6 miles (to get to Willen Lake), plus 1 mile (to get all the way around Willen Lake). Topp… more

• And the most unforgivable of them all... From lucreziaborgia ^Pro in Berlin wall (322 days old)

  ....I dedicate a separate post to the most unforgivable sin, in a relationship. By 'unforgivable', I mean.. something which is a deal breaker INSIDE that relationship; not a sin which brands you forev… more
