post 5

Can you see my other page on this blog? I've added warts and all but how do you find that page? It would be a shame if you can't find it as I'm pouring out my angst and frustration over there. So where the hell do pages come into this thing and how do you find them, what are they for?

Oh yeah I meant to add some photos to this but forgot to take any yesterday, ah what a shame.

Good grief so after you've written on this blogger site you can then post your posts on to Facebook, twitter and email? Good grief how to bore everyone everywhere in one easy lesson.

Ah there it is I've found the page and put it on the side excellent, knew I'd sort it eventually, good ol' technophobe that I am.

Hmm these statistics are interesting reading, does that mean every time I log on and have another look around or write something else it adds on another viewing, in that case I'm the only bugger seeing this and if that is the case i can just about write anything I want because no one else will know anything about it, excellent it really is just like a diary.

Oh I was just about to change that little i for a capital I as it should be but actually i think i like that little one so excuse me and don't berate me every time you see a little i instead of its proper bigger brother - little i's rule OK!

This is stupid it said I'm publishing at 09.20 but it's 1635 here so how does that work i thought i'd changed the time - doh its pacific daylight time but i'm on greenwich mean time any ideas? Oh for goodness sake this is ridiculous it knows I'm not living in America WHERE ARE THE SETTINGS? WOOHAHAHA so you thought you'd get the better of me did you well up yours see i can find the settings and get the time change so its correct nanannnnaaaahhhh.

post 4

Oh that was weird I signed in and all I could see on the screen was a post page but not my blog, is that right, is that what it does everytime, so all I need to do is type in my next post rather than see my blog site?

Oh please give me strength, what the hell am I doing on this damn computer anyway? Am I the only 46 year old woman who has absolutely no idea how to do this? OK so I probably should have gone to the help section or is there a section somewhere where it tells you how to use this site? Yes yes I know I also never read instructions when putting something together either, so shoot me.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh that's interesting - so the most recent writing/blog goes to the top of the page. So the way it's written is like a backwards book. The introduction is at the bottom - how bloody confusing. So each new piece of writing has to be interesting and exciting as its the first thing people see, there is no chronology and story telling. Well that changes how I'll think about writing then - or will it?!

Nah I'll still just blurble on as I was going to anyway, I'll just have to flick back through the dates I suppose, is that how it works?

Well if I carry on like this I wont have anything to say and flick back through to read anyway. I haven't said anything interesting in the last 3 post - sorry diary, my apologies for being so boring.

Perhaps post 4 will be better. I'll go and have some breakfast and get on with the day and then come back later to update you on what has happened. OK so how do I find the blog again and sign in if I close the computer do I just Google Blogger? Wish me luck I'm going to sign off x

post 2

Haha so I finally found out how to post a second post - ok so not very good English.

I've been going around and around on the site trying to find other bloggers and diaries - what a load of tosh. Are we all on here just off loading our angst and problems, spilling our guts and feeling sorry for yourselves?

No of course not there are actually some people on here with information and fascinating hobbies with great pictures and wonderful lives boooooooo to you.

Well I have no pictures, useful information or a fascinating life, so jog on if your waiting to see that. Mind you I don't really want to join the great unwashed on the journey of feeling sorry for myself either. Hmmm now there is a stumbling block, so what shall I say and what am I doing on here then?
  • Just off loading? 
  • Trying to find some sense inside my own head?
  • Hoping that this writing will concentrate my mind on to behaving normally?
  • Perhaps if I blah blah blah in black & white I'll read it back and get a sense of who I am?

Well as you can see I'm pretty crap at writing, punctuation and layout, so that's a start.

Actually I would like to put some images on here to make it eye catching and a bit more interesting. OK I may be gone for some time whilst I work out how to do that then. As well as getting some images of course because I'm not going to put on here the images I have already, well they are personal, I don't mind bearing my soul and inner most private thinkings but I don't want to put a picture of me or my family on here someone might recognise me.

Oh please get a life who am I kidding I don't have any friends anyway and certainly no one who looks on Blogger or at least could find this blog with a ridiculous name.

Hmmm maybe I will be brave then and put some pictures on - I'll think about it. I'm sure no one will read this anyway so what does it matter.


Post 1 - Help me please

OK so I'm pretty late to this blogging phenomenon. I've heard of it but never tried it. So is blogging like having a diary? Right, whatever, I'll just sit and write what I think and see how I feel after that then.

So why have I entitled my very first post as 'help me please' and the whole blog as HELP or is it helpmemakeadecision - see I'm confused even to what my blog is called!  Anyway it's called something like that mainly because I simply just can't make decisions.

But at the moment the big decisions are - how do I find a job I like and can do - what am I good at - how can I keep the roof over our heads when my son leaves education and all the benefits stop.

Ok here is some background information on my life at the moment:
  • single parent for 16 years (no sex in last 5yrs)
  • 15 year old son
  • 83 year old mother living with us
  • haven't had a career/'proper job' for 10 years
  • not stupid but suffer from low self esteem and depression
  • overweight and unfit
  • was in the ambulance service then went to art school
  • never found my purpose in life
  • no idea what I'm good at
  • have one sister living in New Zealand and one just started her own business (very successfully)
  • a complete procrastinator

Well that was interesting - for me anyway - I'm sure not for anyone else. But, how do I feel now? Still confused and not very enlightened, stupid, as if writing it down would make me feel any better. So now I guess I press publish, oh well here goes then, wish me luck, I have no idea where this post ends up, just out there in the ether I'm guessing.
