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
Or two. I’ve been plodding on with my life quite nicely for the last five years. I’ve changed in so many ways and I feel quite happy with who I am and how my life is doing. I’ve been out shopping today for the last few bits for Christmas and as usual I bought some… Continue reading Respect
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.

I write poems for happy occasions (birthdays, weddings, anniversary’s) and for sad ones (funerals). This has been a sad week. I might not be any good at it but I don’t care.

As a result I’m ridiculously unhealthy and suffer from a bad case of cellulite on my arse and thighs. As a relatively small girl, I hate this about myself. I had… Continue reading Hot Tub
Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more!!! It’s dawned on me recently that despite my marriage and a couple of other long term relationships, I’m not sure if I’ve ever been ‘in love’. What even is that? How does one know? What if my ‘in love’ is different to my partners idea of… Continue reading What is love?
Almost two years ago I met a man who I knew early on would become very important to me. We both carry a lot of baggage and have been slowly finding our way around having a relationship. He knows that at times I have been frustrated by this but there have been times that I… Continue reading Love
So I’ve been watching Eastenders for years and it has never failed to amaze me how the brash and bolshy women seem to attract the most men. Stacey Slater being a classic example. She’s an attractive brunette with a good body. That’s enough to attract most men. She’s also loud, rude and a serial cheater… Continue reading The Stacey Slater effect!
I’ve not written a post for a while as I’ve been busy moving house and a month later have only just got my internet connection sorted out! How did people live before the internet? Anyway, because I’ve had a stressful few months moving house, I hadn’t spent much quality time with my kids and the… Continue reading Holidays
