So, remember when I said I did the six mile run for sport relief? Well, I have spectacularly failed to run any miles since. I have no excuse, other than I am a lazy moo. Remember how I also told you that I am going to run the Great North Run for Parkinson’s UK in September? [...]

Today Save the Children launched year two of their No Child Born To Die campaign by asking David Cameron to name a day to hold a global hunger summit. I was invited along to the launch this morning in London Town, where Natasha Kaplinsky, Myleene Klass and Justin Forsyth told us what name a day [...]

September always seems to last forever. It feels like years since the summer holidays, but actually it’s only twenty five days. Twenty five very long days. It has been (in my opinion) the second best start to a school year ever (the one when I went back five weeks pregnant with Little M knowing I [...]

A few weeks ago my entire family spent two days sorting and clearing my granny’s house. It was absolutely rammed full of almost everything my granny had ever owned. That is not even an exaggeration. It was quite a strange weekend. We had a lot of fun (we always do when we get together), and [...]

Yesterday I posted this photo as my Silent Sunday. I have taken part in Silent Sunday for ages now, but I think that this week my photo has the most meaning behind it. To me, anyway. I had several comments on yesterday’s post, mostly asking where the steps lead. I usually try to reply to [...]

When Tara set us this week’s theme of April, I immediately thought of showers. You know. As in Drip, drip, drop, little April shower, beating a tune as you fall all around. But apparently April has decided it has had enough of being the rainy one, so has now decided to become a summer month [...]

For as long as I can remember I have been a why-do-it-today-when-it-can-wait-until-tomorrow person. At school homework was always done on the bus in the morning the night before. At university essays were done the day before the deadline, and often involved staying up all night. I look back on this now as training for parenthood [...]

Dear Next Door Neighbours Who Spent All Last Summer Burning Stuff, If you continue to do construction at nap and/or bedtime I may have to partake in some burning of my own. No really. I will. tiddlyompompom (and a very tired/teething Little M) ******** Dear Next Door Neighbours on The Other Side, I am so [...]

April’s here, and while I am happy about the approach of spring and summer, I have to admit that the first of April brings with it a bit of sadness. You see, I go back to work this month after a year of maternity leave. *wails dramatically* Where has that time gone? No really, where? [...]

This week Ella has asked us to tell our children five things they didn’t know about us. Given that the M’s are only 3 and 9 months, there’s an awful lot they don’t know about me. Plus there’s the fact that I am an International Woman of Mystery, obviously. So, Big M and Little M, [...]
