This week has been tough, and something of an eye-opener. I’ve found that I have a real sugar addiction, and a habit too – I’m in the habit of eating (and drinking) sweet things, and when I don’t have sugar I get awful sumptoms – and will binge Read more…
In one week, S will turn 3. Besides my reminiscing over how much she’s grown and changed since I was in the hospital with that tiny, orange bundle, this means a change at nursery. She will move rooms. She started off in Ladybird Room, which is for 1-2 year olds. Read more…
This week has been interesting. I’ve not done as much exercise as I would have liked, because I ended up being fairly busy. But my eating has been better, and I’ve cut right back on sugar. Goal for last week I did cut right back on my sugar intake. I’m Read more…
From your head to your toes, every part of your body changes during pregnancy- especially your skin. Skin conditions experienced by pregnant women range from stretch marks and rashes to melasma, and in some cases, these skin conditions can cause pregnant women some discomfort. Read more…
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but my teeny, tiny baby turns 3 in a couple of weeks. I have no idea where that time has gone. For her first and second birthdays, the decision as to what her present would be was entirely mine. She didn’t understand the concept Read more…
I bought a copy of Elizabeth is Missing in the 3 Paperbacks for £10 deal on Amazon. I bought it purely because I liked the look of the cover; I knew nothing about it… but I’m so glad I did! This is the story of Maud, and told in the first Read more…
Today is Single Parents’ Day, though you probably didn’t notice. There don’t seem to be too many cards in the shops for this one, do there. Probably because if you’re a single parent, you don’t have a partner to go out and blow a small fortune on gifts for Read more…

When I had my breakdown, I got to a point where I realised it was down to me to drag myself out of this. There was this real “shit or get off the pot” moment where I said to myself, you either get on and kill yourself, or you figure Read more…
I was sent a Kindle copy of kNot: Entanglement with a Celebrity: a memoir by a woman for review. This book is the true story of a woman who dated Russell Brand in 2007, just as his career was taking off. Despite the fact there’s a photo of him on Read more…
After S’s father left, and my friends started to find out what had been going on, one of them christened him Twunty. This is what his name will be from now on. I’ve written a lot about my breakdown. I’ve written about my birth story and the things that Read more…
As I wrote in a post last week, I used to be so shy I was scared to speak to anyone – even my friends. And yet, last week I gave a talk to a room of strangers, and I’m currently planning a workshop, more presentations and one-to-one training. What Read more…
Safestore sent us a box to make a memory capsule with. I have a massive box of memories that I’ve had for ages, and has become more and mroe stuffed with random junk from my life. I love the idea of keeping all of your memories in a box, Read more…
S loves Peppa Pig. Now we have the Milkshake On Demand Player on our TV, she can watch episode after episode after episode after… you get the idea. Because we tend to go for the “popular shows” option, we watch the same episodes over and over again. And it’s starting Read more…
I wrote a post last month about some trouble S was having with nursery. She had suddenly begun to cry and cling to me when I dropped her off, which was unusual for her; she’d settled in so well, and always loved nursery before. I had a chat to Read more…
Last week’s podcast was all about The Secret and the Law of Attraction, and this week I’m following up on that with a few more thoughts. [spreaker type=standard width=100% autoplay=false episode_id=5725199] This week I’m setting you a challenge, to find at least one positive thing about each person you encounter. Can Read more…
