And that concludes the Trespasser DLC; nigh on 130hrs of gameplay for £9. Value for money confirmed. Oh, and that bald mage is a cunt. That is all. -FIN

Whilst taking Ilysha home on Saturday, she was listening to her new favourite song. Since me and her Mum both like Linkin Park, in light of recent events she's been hearing a lot of their music. On the bus to drop her off, with headphones in and little care about other passengers opinion of her singing, she decided to belt out "No More Sorrow" xo

“Have you ever seen one? An actual Shadebringer?” The Commander shifted in his saddle, and adjusted his breastplate. “Never myself, though Rhalav has entertained us many a night with his embellished tales of hunting south of the Duskwatch. I trust you are familiar with such stories from growing up under his roof?” NyrΓΆk’s expression held. “There is no embellishment in those tales Commander. Every time I see those Frostburn scars across his face, I recall the day I found him near the Dusk Boundary. The carnage the Shadebringers wrought…” He shuddered, with vivid flashes of bloodied corpses assaulting his memories. “Chance I never saw one myself, chance I never shall.”

Ilysha got impatient waiting for her turn to feed the giraffes, so this is how she addressed the situation πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ x

Have you ever considered that the popular proverb that when you die "your life flashes before your eyes" isn't metaphorical? Rather than a pretty highlight reel of the most important memories and experiences of your life figuratively "flashing before your eyes" in your final moments, the proverb actually alludes to the fact our lives are short in the greater scheme of things, and that each passing minute is literally our lives flashing before our eyes... the sequence of fleeting moments that immediately precede our inevitable death. It is true, your life does flash before your eyes before your death; you simply need to realise that you are living the flashes in each passing moment, right now. Carpe diem.

“Rhalav mentioned in passing that you shared my disdain for them. They pay for the sins of their fathers; their reflections should remind them what happens when you challenge the Throne. The losses we suffered during the War of Midlight, they were fortunate King Cresyla was as merciful as he was. They would never have been sent to exile in The Fallwaves under my watch, short of a blade I’d sooner have sent them up the Jigsaw Coast to the Everflare.” NyrΓΆk’s expression sullied, anger flashed fleetingly across his locked gaze. “No” he stated firmly, “sooner to the Black Lake.” “Ahh, Aslako.” Teindric seemed surprised. “I am impressed of your geographical knowledge, Vexbane are not usually versed in regions beyond the Fringe. Scalyar in the Darkfrost… perhaps the only time I’d back the Shadebringers.”

I'll never understand why some parents are incapable of putting their children before themselves, moreover, how working parents even have the patience or time for a relationship. Between working, spending time with my kids, and having a bit of time to myself, I couldn't even begin to imagine accommodating a relationship too. I guess it's a case of priorities, and mine clearly don't align with some other peoples.

Still one of my favourite feminist orientated videos. @Shoe0nhead ♥

Well tonight I've been told that Ilysha's latest threat of punishment is being stopped from seeing me/reducing her time with me if she misbehaves! Her Mum even went so far as to say she'd "have to follow up on the threat" if Ilysha misbehaves at her house?!! How about learning a better discipline method that doesn't interfere with her time at my house!!

Been another fun filled week with my little Princess already, from a trip to Dimensions on Saturday for swimming, then having a visit from Nanny & Charlie on Sunday followed by tea at Bon Pan Asia with the family to celebrate my sister's 18th Birthday! We went Waterworld on Monday where Ilysha insisted on making me freeze in the outdoor pool off and on all afternoon, the little buggo! We went Blackpool yesterday with Terry & Stace and had fun in the arcades, on the beach and the pier up the Big Wheel together under a night sky with the promenade and Tower lit up with illuminations, plus had rock & ice cream of course! We've been Dimensions again today with Stacey & my sonshine Charlie for swimming & a play in the soft play area. Now we're getting ready for a deserved sleep whilst looking forward to Cadbury's World tomorrow and a few train rides (considering Ilysha has only been on one train ever that lasted 8 minutes)! Then we're off to Just Kidding on Friday before her swimming lesson now she's in Stage 2 after moving up a class last time I took her! Busy, busy, action packed week! ♥

This is a status I never thought I'd write, but here goes. I used to hate water, I found it bland and would drink about 8 mugs of coffee per day instead. I forced myself to endure it because I accepted such a high caffeine intake wasn't healthy, even less so with 2 or 3 sugars in each. I started to ease myself into drinking water, and now I struggle to have more than a couple of coffees a day. I have become the kind of person who takes bottled water out with me, or buys it when I'm out instead of other beverages like energy drinks or fizzy pop. I have become a huge endorser of water, and I feel so much more healthy and hydrated because of it. Most people will be yawning at this, but for me, it's madness!

Message to the males; I never venture into public toilet cubicles as I only ever piss in a urinal, but this week especially I've had to take Ilysha in gents cubicles and ffs I'll be damned if every single one I've been in hasn't had piss all over the seat!! Hanley Bus Station, Birmingham New Street Train Station twice, a Blackpool cafe, Dimensions, Waterworld, Cadbury's World, Biddulph Leisure Centre & Biddulph Sainsbury's just off top of my head have all required me to wipe up other people's piss before Ilysha could go the toilet! If you are one of the type of scumbags who can't be arsed to lift the seat before pissing, at least have the common decency to wipe your piss off the seat afterwards! Fuck sake!

You are the perfect example of carpe diem, and I both envy your freedom & applaud your lifestyle bro! Live life to it's fullest - I wish more people would follow in your footsteps before they are forced into a life of servitude and mundane routine! Keep adventuring brother, I love seeing your posts πŸ‘Œ x

Let's fucking do this! 🐲
[watching Game of Thrones]
So I came up with my own awesome idea for the end of GoT S7. Jon, Dany & Tyrion approached the Iron Throne, where Cersei gazed back at their prisoner; a shackled Wight, writhing unnaturally and gurgling aggressively. Her eyes widened, clearly taken aback at the prospect of a real, undead army beyond the Wall. "So" snarled Cersei, "this is your proof? Am I to surrender my throne? To dedicate my few remaining troops to your cause?" She shot an angry look at Dany who glared back intensely. "I send my forces to carry out the command of a Stark bastard and a foreign invader? Leave my throne exposed?" Dany stepped forward, "MY throne". Cersei glanced across at Jaime, Euron and the Mountain to her sides. "You think me foolish enough to trust you? The daughter of the Mad King himself? Jaime ought end your bloodline right here. How fitting a way to conclude your dynasty, in the same room your Father drew his last breath." Jon's hand gripped Danys shoulder as she stepped forward angrily. "My Queen" came Tyrion's uneasy voice "please, we need this." Dany locked her eyes on the dwarf, her mouth curled up in malice. "A dragon does not care for the opinion of a lion." "You, bastard" continued Cersei. "You would side with the daughter of the Mad King? Do you not remember how he killed Rickard and Brandon in this very room? Burned your uncle alive?" Jon steeled his nerve and held his composure. "We don't have time to discuss these matters; if the White Walkers advance beyond the Wall, we will have no need to worry about anything. None of will matter." Cersei returned her eyes to the Wight. And then to Tyrion. "You. You killed our Father. You have plotted against your own family, and for what? You would betray your own blood for this Dothraki whore?" She sniggered as Dany again was restrained by Jon's hand. "I am no fool. You think I would invite you here and not take advantage? You bastard refused to swear fealty when I sent the raven to Winterfell. You whore refused to surrender your claim to MY throne. And you, dear brother, you plotted against me with foreign invaders. You don't deserve my help." With a flick of her wrist to Qyburn who loitered in the shadows, a spark lit a fire, green as emerald that rippled across the floor engulfing the centre of the room in flames. Wildfire licked at the three companions and the Wight who stood surrounded. "Stop this madness!" yelled Jon. Cersei smiled back, assuredly and full of malice. "Burn them all." Qyburn pulled a lever and Wildfire leapt out the floor consuming them all. Cersei relented back into her seat, flashing her teeth to Jaime and Euron. Jaime looked aghast, whilst Euron laughed maniacally. Then the laughing stopped, as Dany stepped through the flames, her face contorted in fury, everyone looked at each other in disarray and disbelief. Then beside her came Jon, his face also etched in wrath. And there besides them, the third Targaryen stepped forward, Tyrion, her youngest sibling. The three heads of the dragon exchanged glances, a mixture of confusion and relief. How was this possible? How could they all survive the flames?! A roar wrung out, and as Valaryian Steel blades were unsheathed, our heroes charged toward the Iron Throne where Cersei awaited her imminent death... - CREDITS ROLL

It's been 8 years already? How did that happen?? Since holding you a couple hours after you were born, all the way through the laughter, smiles and mischief of the years thereafter, you've always been my Charchar, my little Sonshine through every rainstorm. You are like my own Son, and I love you with all that I am. Hope your birthday is as special as you deserve, and that you have lots of fun! Happy 8th Birthday my little Sonshine ❤️ x x x x x x x

Simple thoughtful gifts are the most special. Ilysha is over the moon, all because I bought her some body spray & perfume of her own for a couple quid, since she kept asking to use my deodorant and aftershave! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‚ She is literally parading around the living room telling me how beautiful she smells πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

"Food, drink, good times - why should anyone want more that that? It's people wanting to 'make a difference' causing all the troubles in the world. People who think they know what's better for everyone else, people who believe they know what other people need but never bother to ask."
