We need to talk about the traumatic experience of someone eating your food.
Let me set the scene. The day was yesterday. I had just finished up at a job and it was time to celebrate.
I walked up the street (#fitspo) and bought myself a small Ben and Jerry’s tub of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.
(Note: This post is not sponsored by Ben and Jerry’s. But…can it be? Can I get free Ben and Jerry’s? Please?)
The feeling of it in my hand as I left the shop was nothing short of magical. I think I actually smiled at it. I lent down and whispered to it, as though it was my newborn child, “mm I’m putting you in the freezer for later.”
When I got home I did indeed put it in the freezer for later. Now, I can forget to send emails, make phone calls, book appointments and make my bed, but I will NEVER forget to put my ice cream in the freezer.
I thought about it all night. I fantasized about it…sitting there…getting more frozen. I got my things done. I smiled intermittently…as though I had a secret that no one else knew. Which I did. Because I hadn’t told anyone else it was there, because I’m not an idiot.
Anyway. It got to precisely 9:26pm and I thought “oh yes, this is the perfect time for my dessert”. So I made my way to the freezer.
There it was. Just where I had left it. Sitting on top of some frozen pea’s that I swear we’ve had for like two decades. But none of that mattered.
I grabbed it with my hand.
And I knew something wasn’t right.
It didn’t feel right.

Not a good thing to come home when you been in hospital. and somone breaks in your house and you come home to find most of your belonnings stolen and what is left destroyed, you have kids who have lost every thing then you open the fridge and frizer and nothing is there not the way you left it. then you find they break the fridge leaving you with nothing, but you have just fort cancer and 2 different forms of cancer lucky to be alive and you suddenly find you have nothing you have just been placed on a disability pension due to health issues and now you have nothing, all for thieves destroying and helping themselves this is how I have been left.struggling to try and start back over.with no support and 2 kids life isnt easy.
i'm sorry you're going through some hard times, but your comment is extremely garbled and makes no sense, especially in relation to this article.
That's awful Susan. I hope things get better for you.
