I received this product to trial and review; all opinions and thoughts are my own. As you may know from reading my blog, I have been suffering from Generalised Anxiety Disorder or GAD and Emetophobia for most of my life. Although I have had moments of low anxiety in that time, I have predominantly had …

Musical Reflections #7

I have mentioned before that my memory isn't good, especially around my younger years. There are only a few things I can remember, and some I'm not sure are real memories, or those created from stories my mum told me. One thing I do remember is when my brother Neil Daws was heavily into film …

Dad, Can You Help Me Please?

It is a question that every father hears at some time in their lives. The desperate call of their child asking for help with complete confidence in their father’s ability to deal with whatever it may be. So, this is the question that echoed up from downstairs as I was on the computer. The rest …

Musical Reflections #2

For those that don’t know, I am that Crystal Palace fan, and I have heard this song played many times since I first saw them play. I won’t say how old I was, or the team I saw as I honestly cannot remember, one of the problems of having anxiety for so long. I do …

My Memory Has Just Been Sold

Yeah I know the title is a little odd, but when I was thinking about this post, the song Centerfold by J. Geils Band popped into my head. For those who may be too young to know what I'm talking about, I provide the video for you. I was laying awake in bed the other …

A Year of Reflection and Contemplation

The year 2017 has been a year of firsts in many ways, some of them good, others not quite so much. However, one thing has remained throughout, is that family and friends are a vital part of survival. On a personal front, 2017 has been the first full year without my mum who passed away …

The Force Was Strong This Christmas

It was Christmas once again and this year, we seemed more organised than we had before. My wife had spent her time scouring Amazon for presents and had done almost everything by the beginning of December. I had to keep asking her if we were ready as I could hardly believe it, we even chose …

Lights, Tinsel, Action

I know that for retailers everywhere, Christmas starts just after the last pumpkin has been carved, but this trend is now starting to spread. Driving down the road in my village, I spied a couple of houses that has started to put up lights; this being the end of November. Now that we have officially …

Musical Reflections #9

Here is another song that has some special meaning to me, there are actually two versions I like, so I will be showing you both. When I was young, I started a love of bond movies, one movie in particular was my favourite - Live and Let Die. I loved the exotic locations, the action …

The Anxious Mind: Burger Vans

People who know me, know that I don't like burger vans, it isn't that I don't like the food, it's just that I don't like the idea of them. Whenever I pass one I always think that they smell nice, and I think that I might like to try a burger. It would be quite …

Musical Reflections #8

I attended Purley Oaks primary school in South Croydon for a few years, and I have many memories of my time there which is quite unusual for me. I remember going to camp and not liking it at all, I remember my mum working in the kitchen which was actually quite nice, and I remember …

Musical Reflections #5

My musical reflection this time is more of a musical remembrance because it's a song I haven't heard for a long time. You know it can sometimes happen that you are in a shop or listening to the radio and a song will come on that you haven't heard in a while. You then suddenly …
