I've had some serious health issues recently and a heart MRI showed that there is a scar on my heart.

Back in day (I'm 42 now), I was so emo that I actually scarred my own heart. 😂

Now obviously that's not true, it happened due to an infection. But it made me giggle!

It's my late Mum's birthday today and so obviously I've been thinking about her. I just want to share two of the funniest things she said and did.

My Mum loved feeding the birds in the garden. One day she was stood at the back door throwing food out. The garden was quite big and had steps to the grass area which was where she was chucking some bird seed. She tells me that this robin was so tame because she had been throwing seeds at it for a while now and it hadn't flown away and seemed to be stood there enjoying the food shower. She didn't have her glasses on...she had been trying to feed a tomato. My mother had been stood there for 10 minutes trying to feed a fucking tomato.

My Mum once brought up that she would like to be cremated when she died. I'm quite heavily tattooed and I asked her if she would be okay if I had some of her ashes mixed into some tattoo ink so I could get a memorial piece for her as I had heard about a few celebs doing that. I'm not actually going to do that as it's a ridiculous health and safely issue but I digress.

She was cool with that idea and I said that I wonder which body part of hers would be in the ashes I used. She just looked at me and said, "I hope you get my arsehole."

Mum had just finished work, picked my brother and I up from school, and wanted to buy a new mop bucket as the existing one was cracked. She just wanted to be in and out of the shop quickly as she was desperate for a wee. So she goes into the shop and says to the clerk, "can you grab me a bucket please, I don't give a shit what colour it is just be quick cos I'm absolutely bursting for a piss!" I will never forget that man's expression.

😆Love you Mum and I miss you.

I'm following a tutorial/pattern in a YouTube video for an Amigurumi ghost and I'm slightly baffled as to why the instructions have been written the way they have been!?!

I've only been crocheting a few years but this is the first time I have followed a pattern where it will say (sc, dec, sc) x6 instead of (2sc, dec) x6 and another example being (3sc, inc, 3sc) instead of (6sc, inc).

The only reason I can think of as to why, is that it might make the item look neater? Maybe by making any increases or decreases less noticeable. But with that being said, I have followed it the way it was written and I can't actually see any difference in neatness compared to every other thing I have made.

I would love for someone to share their knowledge with me for this one!

Looking for some new music, as I feel stuck. More in comments!

So I'm 42 now and I still listen (and love) the majority of stuff listened to 20 odd years ago. I'm massively into Pop Punk, Ska and Metal but I still have so many other genres in my playlist, so I'm very open minded to anyhing

I will reply to you all, but all I ask is please stick to one song suggestion. I'm ADHD and seeing too many lists overwhelms me as I want to give everyone my feedback so it's fair and you know I've give it a listen!

Thank you and comment away! 😊

My three new Gudetama tattoos. His little bum though. Done by Carol a self employed artist from Manchester

Also my the blackwork is almost finished! Still have NO idea what I want it the white ink. All of my other tattoos are cute and colourful. I don't want flowers on there because it would look so out of place in comparison to the rest I have.

I was considering a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' themed sleeve but do you think that's what most people are going to choose as it would be so simple to do. I don't want to be one of hundreds of people all with NBC tattoos cos it's all we could think of! 😂

Another idea I had was to get a sick ass leopard that looks like it's waking down from the tip of my arm to another leopard facing up to it from the forearm. I would love some snow leopart print added on there outside from the print on the leopard.

Absolutely any ideas would be welcome!!
