One of the strangest ironies in my life as a litter picker.

If my Facebook posts are anything, I take great pride in being a litter picker. I've been doing it for years and on a good day, I can fill up to 8 bags! Cans, bottles, packets, cartons, cigarette buts, I find them all and they go into the bin.


I take pride in getting rid of all the rubbish I find and I stop at nothing to make sure it's all tidy at the places I go to. I've been to football tournaments, car parks, motor ways, rivers, fields and woodlands. I even clean up the litter near where I live and it used to be filthy and full of rubbish.


My hard work in clearing up the litter has definitely yielded results. I've been awarded a medal and trophy from my football club for my hard work and dedication, been placed in news articles showcasing my efforts and was even given "Villager of the Year", along with my parents, which was a first I've heard of a whole family been awarded this title.


But I have a bad secret that showcases a serious irony about myself and that's I'm a slob in my own home. I can't get myself to make my bed after I get up, wash up the dishes myself after eating lunch or dinner, can be barely persuaded to vacuum the floor. I don't even take 5 minutes to pick up my dirty socks and underwear. I just don't understand why I am like this at home. I often need someone else to tidy up my home and that is just plain crazy. Some of my closest friends who know off my efforts comment on my laziness at home.

My feelings, my conflict and my struggle. Am I affiliate material or what?

Since I lost my job due to the coronavirus. I've felt my world collapse. I thought all these months I was just being furloughed until my boss made it clear I'm not coming back to work and he was also distraught. When I lost my job I stumbled onto Legion, an affiliate marketing business structure (that I've been blacklisted now because my life fell into chaos). It was then I was "plucked" by someone who works for another affiliate marketing thing called Exitus Elite. I took the G250 package and I learned how to boost Facebook algorithms and I can still use it till the end of May 2021, by then I will highly likely not renew my subscription. The problem wasn't that I felt that I was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme, although I can certainly believe that. The thing is I've spoken to quite a few entrepreneurs who say that it's worked very well for them. My mentor on the other hand didn't give me a clear path, just to do what's needed to boost F...

Returned from Italy

 I have returned from my holiday in Italy. We have a holiday retreat in Italy and we go there whenever we need to get away from the world for a while. Before I left for Italy I wrote down a list of things to do. They included pictures, videos, going to the beach, climbing a mountain and other things. I didn't complete the list. The one thing I didn't do was plant a tree but that was because the countryside is full of them and where would I plant one? That and my parents said now wasn't the best time. I took my Mum to go with me on top of a mountain and I even convinced my Mum to join me to walk up footpaths so that we can take pictures of the views and she felt inspired by this. I am happy about it, shows I can influence people. I also had a lot of fun eating the fine meals in Italy. I love arrosticini its full of flavour and they give you plenty to eat.

My University, My carer and My Gmail.

Yesterday, I was told I didn't need to go to the Campus for the rest of the week and I thought this was a warm-up induction to the University and the real learning starts next week. Combine this with no events happening today, I thought I could relax, go walking the dogs with my carer coming tomorrow and spend some time with my parents. Turns out not to be the case, my carer coming today was less than enthusiastic about what I like to do with the carers in future occurrences, and that included walking the dogs. What was worse was that my parents still had not sorted out their washing machine. The problem started a couple of weeks ago when a mouse chewed up one of the cables and caused the entire system to go haywire. After three visits from the electrician/plumber, it was decided the washing machine was a lost cause and my parents would have to get another one. That meant more washing up at my house to do and I hate my washing machine. Worse was that there were online lectures that...
