Happy to be Ros

26th Nov 201929th Jan 2020 / funnybleeder / 2 Comments

So here we are. Writing for no real reason. I'm doing this during a Tap & Write session with Kate Marillat as part of her Taping Collective group on FB, which uses EFT to release resistance and blockages when you are trying to write. It's a great group video session that uses tapping to release … Continue reading Happy to be Ros

Evidentially Yours

10th Oct 201911th Oct 2019 / funnybleeder / Leave a comment

One week and an hour or so from the moment I write this, is our day. Mum's and my day. What day is that? you ask. On Friday 18 October 2019, mum and I are giving evidence to the Infected Blood Inquiry in London. Run by Sir Brian Langstaff QC, we are now into the … Continue reading Evidentially Yours

Dad’s Journey

24th Jul 201926th Jul 2019 / funnybleeder / 3 Comments

Dad's lymphoma came back this year and as he was in steady decline over the last month, I was inspired to write this piece for him in the middle of one sleepless night. I read it to him the week before he died. He "mmm"ed after every sentence. I read it again this Wednesday at … Continue reading Dad’s Journey

Why dad’s death was not devastating. For me.

14th Jul 201914th Jul 2019 / funnybleeder / 1 Comment

You see, I am most familiar with death. I was killed the moment you put a price on my life. You decided the value of me was less than the value of the profits you were likely to make, the costs I was likely to cost, the prestige you were likely to garner from publishing … Continue reading Why dad’s death was not devastating. For me.

Am I anti-NHS?

13th Jun 201913th Jun 2019 / funnybleeder / 1 Comment

If you've heard recently about the Infected Blood Inquiry and read the media reports you may be getting the impression the NHS fucked up. You may be thinking that we, the contaminated community, are waging a decades long war against the NHS. That we are accusing them as a body of destroying our lives and … Continue reading Am I anti-NHS?

I am a Remainer

2nd May 20192nd May 2019 / funnybleeder / Leave a comment

Oh no! Why is she writing a post about Brexit? Don't we hear enough about that already?? Let's be honest, have you? No, specifically this week ... have you heard about Brexit? Maybe you've stopped listening to or watching the news to preserve your own sanity. I understand that. However, this week I urge you … Continue reading I am a Remainer

Help Wanted – warning bad language

9th Apr 20192nd May 2019 / funnybleeder / 1 Comment

This morning I am not well. It's weird actually saying that, because it's my mental health that is shot, however, for some reason I feel like that is my fault, that I am somehow in control of my mental state and that I should just "pull myself together", woman up and be "ok". Well this … Continue reading Help Wanted – warning bad language

Here We Go Again

12th Feb 201912th Feb 2019 / funnybleeder / Leave a comment

I'm thinking about the Public Inquiry into Contaminated Blood. The one gearing up for its first public hearings this April. Admittedly my title isn't pedantically fair as this is the first statutory public inquiry we have had. However, anyone who has been involved with campaigning as long as I have will know the sinking, drowning … Continue reading Here We Go Again

World Mental Health Day 2018

10th Oct 201810th Oct 2018 / funnybleeder / 2 Comments

How am I? It's a lovely day. The sun is shining through my windows. The house has been invaded by a loveliness of ladybirds, even if they are infected with STDs, I rather like the little crimson critters. The sheets are flapping on the line. And that reminds me, there's even flapjack in the tin. … Continue reading World Mental Health Day 2018

My Journey Begins

4th Oct 201810th Oct 2018 / funnybleeder / Leave a comment

Thanks for joining me! In the words of the fabulous, bearded lady from the Greatest Showman... I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be... This is me. The title of this post is misleading, because my journey began long ago, in a land far away. Well, it was the Isle … Continue reading My Journey Begins

Who Am I?

This is a story of a girl named Ros. She was adopted as a baby and grew up with a severe bleeding disorder called von Willebrands disorder. Ros lives in Worcestershire with her amazing husband and a Springer named Meg. She’s had a lot to deal with over the years and this is how she’s dealt with it. Or not. She especially likes writing about herself in the third person.
