I’ve spent that much time in and out of doctors and hospitals recently, I feel like I should be cashing in a pension.

I’d vowed not to let Isabel be babysat by the TV anyway, so I… read full entry »

I started this draft when my application form came through from the Association of Breastfeeding Mothers to train as a Mother Supporter. You have to include a covering letter talking about your breastfeeding experiences. I started writing, and before I knew where I was I’d covered 1500 words and had no idea where to stop…. read full entry »
Why do I do it every time? I’ve been prepping for this weekend for a few weeks, got lists as long as my arm to say X needs to go here, we’re taking Y with us, etc etc and yet here I am at 8:02 and I’ve still packed basically bugger all. Got posts to… read full entry »
