#Reena’s Exploration Challenge

Stolen Identity ‘Sorry Madam, but your card has been declined,’ the shop assistant said, passing back my card. I tried again, but the machine wouldn’t allow my purchases.

Snack Time

I will have to say that snack time has totally changed for me since joining a weight watching group. I have lost three stone and am proud of my achievement, but I love chocolate. For me it is my Achilles heel, but I can’t stop eating it and don’t really want to try. So toContinue reading “Snack Time”

Wednesday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

Chapter Three MARTHA If Martha weren’t handcuffed for her session with the psychiatrist, she would have fled the corridor in a heartbeat.

All my electronic devices automatically changed, but I it was my watch I checked at 11.30 the next evening. I waited for half an hour, the evidence they required in a simple A4 folder.

Coffee – Five Ways

Five ways I like my coffee I love the flavoured Beanie coffee. My favourite are the sweet flavours like jam, biscuit, and Irish cream. I always buy a latte after I go shopping with my husband. Milky coffee. Cappuccino. An Irish coffee (Most coffee, but never, ever cold. There is something wrong with the taste)

Monday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again

‘That’s rubbish and you know it!’ There wasn’t any distance between them. Ready for the blows that she expected to come, Martha cowered. ‘I’m sorry.’ ‘Why are you sorry? I shouldn’t have got angry,’ Chris said, and created space between them. ‘I killed him.’ ‘The first time I was in prison I killed my oldContinue reading “Monday Snippet – It Won’t Happen Again”
