My weight – 05/05/2026

I had a number of people commenting one of my newest YouTube vlogs. Saying, I’ve let myself go and others saying I’ve put on weight!

Yes, I’ve put on a bit of weight the last number of years! You trying losing a dog, have too move 2 times, in less than two two. Lose your Mum to cancer…

So not being funny! I’ve had a hell of lot of stuff, going on my life these last number of years! 

So not going to lie, at one point. I come very, very close to saying FUCK IT! And just giving up on life…

So, please do THINK before you post comments that are not very NICE!!
