BLOGS ALL THE THINGS
I followed a bunch of bloggers on twitter today. My grand plan is to follow, be inspired by their energy and regular posting, and thus start posting regularly again. Hahahahaha. Realistically, however, I’ve already noticed a worrying trend amongst these ~cool~ bloggers: they’re all young twenty-somethings with no kids, no mortgage and very few of […]
Not sure I made that blog title long enough? Anyway.. hi, here I am. Not dead. Which you probably already know because you all follow me on social media. Don’t you? Things have been a bit hectic lately. Last time I spoke to you I was just starting my new drugs. Which … oops, haven’t […]
As you may have figured out from my sporadic blogging of late, I’ve been a wee bit busy. Cramming in ALL THE WORK before Christmas so that I can have a proper holiday; trying to get kids in the right place at the right time for nativities and dinners and parties and this, that and […]

Right now someone who works for Facebook is getting tens of thousands of error messages and frantically trying to find the problem […]
Karl has taken the kids out for a few hours so that I can get some work done, so I’ve started with the important things: Had a wee in peace Had a hot cup of coffee & had bacon sarnie all to myself. (I’ve also emptied and scrubbed the bin, done the dishwasher / washed […]
I think I’ve probably mentioned before that I get a lot of PR / “blogger outreach” emails. There’s something about having squeezed a baby out of your nethers that makes companies think you’re happy to hawk their wares. Most of these mails go straight to the bin. Either they’re generic “hi pls link our product” […]
I didn’t think it had been that long since I cleaned under the sofa last. And yet, having just done so, I found… teething toy rattle pair of pants (Isabel’s) 2 socks (1 x Isabel’s, 1 x Oliver’s) large Lego wheel 8 mega bloks 1 bulldog clip number 3, number 8 1 hairclip 2 hair […]
