Matching on Facebook dating, I was impressed with this man. He was forward with planning a date and seemed to grasp the concept of masculine and feminine energy. He booked a table for drinks and snacks. I was early- I always am. So I popped into the pub for a quick trip to the bathroom.… Continue reading Mr Lamb Shank
Today’s the day I think most about Darren. I think about him every so often, when there’s a trigger. But on June 16th I’ll always think of Darren. It was 2 years ago on a Saturday like any other. The day before Father’s Day. Darren was a Dad and step-dad. Chris reminded him of this,… Continue reading Darren
Just watched the last half an hour of this film with tears streaming down my cheeks. I used to watch this film and cry with laughter, not this time. The sentiment is very different when the situation the film depicts is so close to home. I’ve written before about not understanding what it’s like to… Continue reading Mrs Doubtfire
A few weeks ago I had confirmed to me what I have known for the past 9 years. My son is 11 now and after a long road of meeting with school and CAMHs waiting lists he has received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. I don’t know why they call it a disorder.

It’s the summer holidays here and as I work in a school; I get almost 6 weeks off. Us schoolies often get a bad rep for having so much holiday time. We actually don’t get paid for it. I’m pretty sure that people can have unpaid leave in most jobs. Schoolies don’t get a choice.… Continue reading Priorities
I love driving. I’ve got a car that is fun to drive and when the traffic is kind to me (and I don’t have the kids in the car) I can let him loose! Today I found an old cd in my glove box that had lots of classics from the late 90’s/ early 00’s.… Continue reading Route A46
It was about September last year that I found out my ex husband was marrying the woman he left me for. My 7 year old dropped it into conversation when driving home from school as she thought I should know my eldest had cried about it. Turns out my seven year old is more emotionally… Continue reading Wedded bliss 🤞🏻
It’s holiday season, there’s been a heatwave, I’m about to board a plane to Greece for a week. I’ve got to get my body out. I’m dreading it. It’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of my body. I don’t know many women who are. I was chatting to one of my friends… Continue reading Beach Bodies
