Second was Jullie. That’s the correct spelling – her dad was drunk when he registered her birth. ‘Nuff said. She was a good friend of a girl I worked with at the time, Laura, who was also a very good friend of mine, one of my best friends in fact. She’d had her eye on me for a while apparently, even while she was dating a guy, Paul, who I worked with. Are you seeing a pattern here?

Here's a new one for you, gentle readers - a multi-parter. I'd written the lot up, intending to post it as one chunk, but at 2414 words, it would be a bit much I think, so I'll split it up into three parts, which fits the subject matter perfectly, as you'll see. Don't worry, this first part is only a couple of hundred words.

That’s kind of a rhetorical question, to be honest – I don’t really think there’s anything ‘wrong’ with me.

Sometimes though, when I peer into the inky black depths of my mind, I wonder if I might be ever so slightly ‘wrong’, because sometimes I get the feeling that I’m hooked on drama. For example; a while back, when my mum was in hospital, there was a very real danger that she wouldn’t survive her surgery. If I’m brutally honest about my thoughts, there was a small part of me that was hoping that she wouldn’t make it.

Can you suddenly ‘develop’ ADD just before you hit 30?

Recently, I feel like my attention span has a length of roughly 10 minutes, sometimes even less than that. I find myself avoiding articles and columns online that I’d normally read through with relish, because I’ve skim-read them and weighed them up to be too long to bother with.

It extends to pretty much everything else – listening to music at home, I’m slicking through playlists constantly. When I’m watching movies, I’m ready to jump out of my seat if they don’t grab me right away.

I've got a cluster of 3 verrucas on the sole of my right foot, most annoying they are. They've been there for a while, but they haven't really bothered me too much. I was at the Wart Clinic at our local GP a month or so ago, and the nurse there whacked some liquid nitrogen on them, but it hasn't done much. I've been using one of those 'home freezing' kits, but it's been equally useless.
