Two under two, it’s not that hard…

1st May 201510th February 2020

… apart from when it is really sodding difficult! The first month with two under two went something like this… Week One: Glorious.

In brief, my husband was a big baby (11’7lbs) and was born via an eventual C section, I was a very small baby 5’11lbs but my mum had a difficult labour… Read More

Thoughts: Show-off Mums and why they annoy me

26th June 20144th December 2020

My last β€˜thoughts’ post about parenting style was about a bad parent I witnessed (in my opinion, you may not agree) and I think the person in today’s post is almost as bad but for different reasons. I’m started writing this on a train home from London.Β  I’m sat on a fold-down seat with Athena… Read More

Annoyances: Facebook

22nd November 201319th November 2018

Part one of my occasional series on annoyances is Facebook. I’m just going to list what irritates me about it, there’s a lot! If I could get away with print screening and blanking out peoples names I would, but although hardly anyone in my β€˜real life’ is aware that I blog I wouldn’t risk it!… Read More

Thoughts on parenting in public

27th October 20138th December 2016

  A few weeks ago I was queuing to pay at the tills in a shop in Brighton, and a couple of people in front of me was a lady with a bright pink pushchair with a bow on it.  She was jerking the pushchair forwards and backwards and glaring at the baby in it.… Read More

🎢 Just me, myself and I Well, for a few days a 🎢 Just me, myself and I

Well, for a few days anyway as Sam has taken the kids to Norfolk for a few days (and is coming back again at the weekend, leaving them there with his mum for a week πŸ™Œ) 

I am loving the silence that comes with just being alone in the house...no thundering feet up and down the hall, no random questions an hour after bedtime, no endless requests for food, no arguments over who said/did what. Just me and the cats (and a list of DIY jobs as long as my arm, and my actual job of course!)
