There are thousands of time management courses I bet. Probably a few hundred written for Mums. This is as simple as it gets for you, with a couple of extra twists I’ve added in to spice it up and make it more effective. It can be so difficult to work out what needs doing when […]
Cuteness alert! This wasn’t just any old half-term. This was the one where Little Dimples turned two and totally ‘got’ what a birthday was. So here she is singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to herself! Oh and if you didn’t get the last few words, we reckon it was ‘and there you go’! I […]
So if you follow all my tips on eating healthily in my ‘Healthy Eating For Rubbish Cooks‘ Series, does that mean you don’t need to take supplements, minerals or vitamins?

This post is being written as part of the blog prompt for #DoSomethingYummy from Typecast which is the campaign for CLIC Sargent Charity for children with cancer. It hit a note with me because just after Little Dimples was born I had a cancer scare for about 6 months. The terror that hit me was immense, but there is one thing […]
It’s amazing what you can find in Tesco’s; I found a 73 year old, Irish grandmother with a huge heart. She cares for Little Dimples while I work, gives Curly Headed Boy the security of a nearby grandma, and supports me in the way that my Mother would have wanted to if she had been […]
So your friends in real life, twitter or Facebook have a falling out. Should you remain friends with those people? Or is that disloyal? What about if they fall out with a whole association or organisation? I’m friends on twitter and Facebook with people that I know have fallen out with other people in the […]
I was in total geeks heaven; my first radio interview with Nick Coffer on BBC 3 Counties. There were dials, buttons, screens, computers, flashing things, headphones; it was amazing. I’d been on blogtalk radio before and interviewed by phone for local independent radio, but here I was being interviewed on BBC Radio, and I […]
