What’s a book festival I wondered when I saw that Luton Hoo has a book festival on Sunday 21st April. “I’ve been to music festivals with the kids, maybe I should take the kids” I thought? Then they invited me, wicked!! So I’m going to be able to tell you about it, but I’m also […]
The Problem I don’t really know where to start, you asked if my unhappiness is affecting the atmosphere, well I’m sure at times it does, I know I can be lost in my own thoughts and feelings and sometimes snap at those around me unduly. I met my partner when I was 16, though we […]
In this post you can listen to my lifestyle feature on a radio show, see my weekly vlog and get details for my google hangouts on getting Healthy, Fit and Strong; it’s a packed post! Firstly, thank you everyone for all your lovely comments cheering me on here, twitter and Facebook! An Overview of […]
I’ve got a sponsor for BritmumsLive Yay *does a very happy dance*. A huge thank you to Siblu, who are sponsoring me after sending my family and I out to review one of their holiday camps last summer. So now for the important stuff you have to do before going to a blogging conference: […]
Vlog I’m starting a weight loss diary – bet you never guessed that from the title heh! I also thought I’d vlog it; you know, try something new! So in this vlog I talk about the extent of my weight gain problem, why I gained it, and what my goals are. Previous Posts […]

I was shocked and chuffed to find that I’m No32 in the Top 100 Weight Loss Blogs! That’s a list including people like Jenny Craig and ‘proper’ weight loss organisations, so it’s pretty good going. I’ve even given all my weight loss blog posts a jolly good polish to celebrate. BUT. There is a problem. […]
I’m a fan of twitter and Facebook, I’ve even ventured quietly onto Google+ recently. Maybe because I’m nosey? Or because I love to chat? Or because when you are a little ‘different’, it’s an easy way to meet other people who are a little ‘different’? The way I do it is I auto-follow and then […]
So I’m onto the ‘important’ chapter of ‘How to Talk So Kids Listen’, which is ‘Alternatives to punishment’. This is the chapter that got me interested, because as I said, Curly Headed Boy turning 7 has been tricky. Initially we succumbed to the fear that we hadn’t been clear enough with him and he ‘should […]
I received this very sad message from a Mum the other day. Here is her question (you might want to not read this with anything in your mouth that you could spit out when choking). Good day Lisa, hope all is well with you and your family. I just have a small problem? My significant […]
