I know a lot of people will say this is total codswollop but I actually dread Friday 13th. So much so, that when I realised this morning at 2.30am that this was the date, I created the self fulfilling prophecy that today was going to be shit. I then proceeded to blame...
Its official. I am a new mum mess. As much as I would love to be one of those mums who at least appears to take parenting in their stride, I am not. I am a mess. Here's why. 1) I am exhausted Despite Neve being a better sleeper than her elder sister was at this stage,...
It's that time of year again. The time that the Express newspaper headlines go mental. The time when snow is forecast, and out come the weather warnings. My eldest daughter is three and a half, and despite us having seen our fair share of extreme weather warnings, she...

Monthly Challenges 2017 is the year that I have to lose some weight and start looking after myself more. Just before I started maternity leave back in August, I told my colleagues that I was determined to be slim by the time I returned - that gives me 8 months from...
Happy New Year! Another Shiny New Year, the first page in a blank new diary. I always get excited about what a New Year will bring, but I really hate January. Why? In December, it is ALL about the pigs in blankets – but now? Now I AM the pig in a blanket. I have...
This bucketlist was written by myself in 2010 - a list of all the things I want to say I have achieved before I die. As I achieve them I will make them red, and posts that are blue have a link to a specific post to share my story. I have some updating to do at the...
