I am feeling a bit off today. This week is not going as smoothly as I had hoped. Attitude and tantrums are two a penny and tensions are running high. I wish I knew why but I am at a loss. There are only so many times that you can make excuses and provide yourselfContinueContinue reading “The Dam is Breaking”

Things no one tells you…
I remember how I felt when I found out I was pregnant all those years ago. I was terrified but as I got used to the idea I started to get excited. I was doing my research and trying to make sure that everything was just perfect ready for the new arrival. I definitely hadContinueContinue reading “Things no one tells you…”
Long Term Impact of “Poverty”
As I have said previously I grew up as an only child in a single parent family. We were not particularly well off, we lived in local authority housing and my mother was in receipt of benefits. I was entitled to free school meals as many children are. When I was growing up I wasContinueContinue reading “Long Term Impact of “Poverty””
The Role of the Grandparents
I have spent a lot of time during the past 12 months thinking about the important role that grandparents play in the lives of our children. During the previous lockdowns it became apparent to me that my children craved this contact and vice versa. In my experience watching this relationship develop can be bittersweet. ForContinueContinue reading “The Role of the Grandparents”
Nothing to Report
So there is not much to write about today. Yes, we are in another lockdown in the UK. Head spinning change of plans abound. Homeschool fun, round 2 is upon us. Apologies to my children and their teachers for the standard of teaching that they are going to be subjected to. However, it is differentContinueContinue reading “Nothing to Report”

I am going to tell you a story of a positive experience that I have had recently as a result of social media. During lockdown I began following aContinueContinue reading “T*ts Out, All Shout!”
It hasn’t been all bad…has it?
Well, that is Christmas over and done with. Now we are in that strange period between Christmas and New Year where we have no idea what day it is, let alone what time it is. We have been living on our cold meats and various chocolates and sweeties for the past few days and I’mContinueContinue reading “It hasn’t been all bad…has it?”
“Bah Humbug”
Well…what can I say? There is not much to say is there. The last few days have been really rubbish and I feel so sorry for anyone who resides in a tier 4 area. However, I am rather angry with various people. First of all I am annoyed with the government and the way theyContinueContinue reading ““Bah Humbug””
Bit of Pampering for Mumma
I am in a good mood today. I have been to a local salon and treated myself to a cut and colour. I am loving it! There is a difference in the colours that have been used but it is subtle. So it might not be as in your face as I had originally consideredContinueContinue reading “Bit of Pampering for Mumma”
So this week I am strange…
I am beginning to think I am becoming stranger as time passes. Except I have always been strange, but now I am allowing myself to enjoy myself in public. It is much better than being the unapproachable mum with permanent resting bitch face in the playground. Now I am the crazy mum playing with myContinueContinue reading “So this week I am strange…”
