After much debate, my husband and I, have decided to let our daughter go to a nursery. Only for one morning a week, starting officially in January. After researching the local area, checking Ofsted reports and food options – we selected our place. They offered free taster sessions, so children can be eased into their nursery routine gently. This was …
High Chair Drama
I thought weaning my child from formula to cow’s milk was tough. Nothing prepared me for the tears and tantrums, that would occur, with the introduction of solid foods. Oh the tears I have cried. I’m surprised I still have teeth left, considering the amount of time, I grind and grit them every day. ‘And even though a cookie may …
Ode to the Big Mac
On the radio this week, I heard a discussion about Millennials (individuals born from 1980). According to recent research, 20% of them, had never had a Big Mac. With all the political and painful news filling my eardrums lately, I do love a good bit of fluff. As happy and jovial as this all was, I was bloody mortified. 20% …
Birthday Plan
Another birthday is looming. I’m clinging on to my thirties by my knicker elastic! My earlier birthdays were full of excitement and parties. Lavish gifts and surprises. Now I find them rather miserable. My current inept social life isn’t helping. My present reflection, is also poking me with a rather large stick. I’m starting to look as old as I …
One and done?
As my daughter is fast approaching 18 months of age, the baby question has resurfaced. So, are you going to have another? I really wanted to be standing with both feet firmly in one camp here. I wanted to be clear and have no doubts. The truth is, we are still undecided. Neither myself or my husband, are overwhelmed with …
The Journal – Part 3
But now it’s just another show. You leave ’em laughing when you go. And if you care, don’t let them know. Don’t give yourself away. My first full time job was in publishing. I remember being amazed I even got the role. In my mind, I had tanked the interview but there I was, offer in hand. Hours were long, …
The Journal – Part 2
I’ve looked at love from both sides now. From give and take and still somehow. It’s love’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know love at all He was in college and although he was not my first love, he was my first serious relationship. It should have never have lasted more than a year, thinking back but hindsight is …
The Journal – Part One
I’ve looked at life from both sides now. From win and lose and still somehow. It’s life’s illusions I recall, I really don’t know life at all I was born at the tail end of the 70s. My Mum and Dad were vastly different people. Mum was a very innocent and sheltered woman, who had been mothered her whole life. …
Both Sides Now
I have had a very different life to most people That was the sentence I used in my very first blog post. It was not cryptic. It is an actual fact. Over the next 3 posts, I will share the details of my life and why it is so different. For me; more than anyone else. It is not an …
No Matter What
In my dating life, I have had numerous relationships. Vastly different in parts and shockingly similar in others. Generally I am better in a relationship. I enjoy having a significant other. A partner in crime. A companion in all things. I want that. I don’t need that. I am fiercely independent and don’t like to need anything so I engineer …
