I am a total pen snob. If you walked into a stationery shop I would be the person trying every single pen till I found one I liked. I have loved some pens so much that I have actually mourned them when they broke or ran out. And now that you know I’m a total…

On the Origin of BluChickenNinja
I’ve always thought that my username was far too silly to write about. To be honest it is the result of a joke among a few of my high school friends and six years later I still can’t get over it. But I’ve had so many people ask about it and what it means that…

Unemployed
I have now been signed off work for 11 months. For 9 of those months I was receiving Employment Support Allowance. However at the end of July I received a letter stating I had to attend a “fitness for work” assessment. I could probably write an entire blog post about how terrible ATOS and their…

Tiny Watercolours
Every time I visit the doctor I am asked how much time I have spent painting. Not because my doctor has a specific interest in my artwork but because it is a good way of telling how tired I have been in a specific month. The last two months have been particularly difficult and as…
