Hello and welcome to a new, Weekly Newsletter post.

Amazon Advent Calendars 2020.

I have selected the Top of the Range ones, and they have loads available and yes I you buy an item from my post, I will receive a Royalty fee for it.

Christmas jumpers at Amazon 2020.

They have tones of fashion items. I have splurged on some and are great value.

Amazon Haul Look Book.

These tops shown are lovely and they have so many different patterns and colours that I will be buying more.

I remember when Amazon sold mainly books, but since those days there are loads of items to choose from. 

This video is showing some Gift sets available at Amazon along with some other gifts for Christmas this year. 

A gift set is a great way to buy stocking fillers aswell as a whole gift.

I have also started to write a weekly blog, giving some Shopping Ideas on my site Carries Everyday Living, aswell as more posts showing some more bits rom Amazon, and weekly Tea and Biscuits post.

When A Year Seems So Long

 

To say this year has seemed so long is an understatement. Many things happened that sent me in a downward spiral through part of it and felt like my life at one point was going to come to an end.

If you find it hard to read these kinds of blogs then I am not offended if you do not wish to read on I just like to talk about it to make people see that those who have felt like this too, aren't alone and you can come out of it, because facing your depression can be a lot harder than it being inside you, because that annoying voice that speaks to you, makes you feel that often there is no way out.  

I was a total mess at the start of this year and very suicidal and was talking to people from my passed who were having a nightmare themselves. A few people who I knew from Peabody and from my present life had gone for good, as they were brutally attacked too. I broke my heart a lot. 

There will always be times where you feel life is going to get worse and worse and it can be so soul destroying when there are many people who you thought loved you, but they didn't at all and that can really hit you like a knife. 

I kept going though and thanks to people whom I had come to admire over the years on TV got in contact with me and have now helped me to get out of that hell hole and carry on doing what I love, being a writer and now doing it as a fulltime career. 

Thankfully if all goes well, there are even better things on the horizon coming soon which I will let you know about as they arrive.

Those people including my new love Lee, helped me to stay strong and come alive again. 

There is always light at the end of the tunnel and you can get out of a depressive state it just takes time.

Denise Welch has written a book about depression which is called the Unwelcomed Visitor and spotting the triggers and signs of depression. It can be caused by many things and can be a build up to you not wanting to be seen, heard or near anyone. 

This book is available from Amazon now if you wish to purchase it via this link:

    Denise Welch The Unwelcomed Visitor 

There is a lady who we all knew as Caroline Flack who took her life and it was so sad as she seemed to embrace who she was and what she did. I thought she was such a ray of sunshine and a total shame that someone so lovely and seemed happy, would be found dead and ended her life. 

Sadly there are people who want to see someone take their life and they aren't worth the shit they were born with. Sorry if this is harsh but noone, noone should ever destroy someone so much that they want want to commit suicide, but there are. 

If you need support and help them there is a brilliant organisation called Mind.org that can provide support and help, I do also have a related site to this one called Everyone Can Build A Castle or you can contact me via the comment section below and I will be happy to listen, as often that is all we want. 

Many thanks for reading,

Total Lockdown confusion

Hello and welcome to a new Newsletter blog that I like to post at the end of each week. This blog talking about Total Lockdown confusion:

1. Are we in Lockdown or not?
2. Do I want another Lockdown?
3. Is this going to become the norm now?

Let me answer the first question. I am not sure if there is a lockdown because, not that I want the shops to shut, but everything appears to still be open, and people are still wearing masks and buses are still putting tape across some of the seats, yet they want everyone on the bus to be seated, and so I am not sure where it is at this Lockdown. 

I do not want another Lockdown, no! I like being able to travel around on buses, the tube and overground trains without any bother. I want to be able to queue without worrying about being close to someone, but to be honest I never get overly close to someone in the queue in front of me anyway and have always kept my distance. 

I have a worrying feeling that this is going to become the norm and more of this is going to happen, over the Festive Period and beyond. 

It makes me wonder if they are doing this Lockdown to avoid having to deal with Brexit which should have been dealt over what, 3 year ago now is it? This is why I would like to go into the houses of parliament do what I want an MP to do is tell a dirty joke:

    Why was Boris Johnson's wife screaming one night, because he took of his mask and his real personality came alight, and he knows how to pull a decent bird, even though he is creating a one way system in London, which is going to cause so much congestion that he wanted to avoid causing us all to scream "What on earth are you doing?"!

Is Boris going to allow the Queen to do her usual Christmas speech?

Who knows but I bet he'll tell her off, for not wearing a mask when doing so, even though it will be done in her own home. 

And don't worry Boris she will apply to the social distancing, doing the speech in one of her many homes. You may not ever be invited to Sandringham or Windsor, you've not earned that status yet, and her homes are big for a reason. 

Don't worry your majesty we could all put Boris in the dungeons in the Tower Of London, haven't done so in about 100 years, but there can always be the first one in the 20th Century, and no we won't cut off your head Boris, because that would just get messy.

So lets see what this lockdown will bring and see next week for another Newsletter blog and have a great weekend ahead. 

Oh and Boris, please, please no pick pocketing, remember social distancing applies to you too. 

I know "It's all in the name of politics".
