The title of this post might confuse you… When S was a baby I wrote about how I would never leave her to cry. There is a difference though, between leaving a child to cry, and allowing them to cry. Sometimes we all need to have a good cry and Read more…
This week has beenk bonkers; I was in London on Monday evening, Tuesday was my birthday, and on Friday I was in Bristol for Blog Camp! I don’t think I’ve done too badly with food, though… Goal for last week Last week’s goal was “don’t f*** up.” I did Read more…
I was sent a copy of Not My Father’s Son: A Family Memoir by Alan Cumming, for review because it’s recently been released in paperback. I remember reading an interview with Cumming when the hardback edition was first released, and thinking how much I’d love to read it. Although I Read more…

The last few days I have been in hernia hell (it’s a real place, you don’t want to visit). And the worst part is, I know it’s all my own doing. Time to sort my shit out. Again. Goal for last week Considering how bonkers last week was, I Read more…
I was sent a copy of The Silent Hours by Cesca Major for review, as part of Brit Mums Book Club. When it arrived, I was still reading another book for review, so I just sort of added it to my review pile and carried on with my day. Once I Read more…
We love the sunshine. As soon as the sun is out, we’re up and outside, wanting to play. S will decide which park she wants to go to (either the yellow gate or the green gate) and off we go. Living in town means we can pop to the park Read more…
S is very particular about her clothing. She chooses her outfits each morning, and I’ve long since given up trying to make her wear anything at all. This poses a bit of a problem then, when companies want to send us clothes for her. It’s hit and miss, when the Read more…

I toyed with the idea of not even bothering with a weigh-in post this week, but I figure I can’t just not post if I know it’s not going to be good news! Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to stop the sugar… I have cut it Read more…
Mumsnet sent me a copy of Villa America for review. Villa America is a work of fiction based on historical fact; all of the characters bar one existed in real life, and the majority of events described in the book really happened. The book is set at the beginning of Read more…

Urgh. I’ve been eating sugar. I feel crappy for it but as yet, that’s not stopped me. Goal for last week Last week’s goal was to eat actual meals. I’ve done ok with that; I’ve started buying steak and cooking that in the evenings. I am severely lacking in Read more…

I am in The Sun today, alongside four other women, talking about how many people I’ve slept with. At first, I was just going to do the piece, have my photo taken in a nice dress, and not tell anyone about it. Because, you know, it’s kind of a personal Read more…
