This week is a perfect example of the dichotomy of a Mum’s life, the confusion between pleasure and pain, all at the same time (you know, like the ‘muller yogurt’ adverts, where there is no pleasure without pain). So my ‘little boy’ spent his last day at nursery. I sobbed as I arrived to drop […]
Hows your underwear doing? Or is that too personal a question? Does it fit? Or do you have a case of the baggy pants or too tight VPL and an extra pair of boobies hanging out of the bra? Would you be happy to be caught unawares by an unplanned hospital visit? Or is it […]

Now obviously it is always wise to check with your health professional about any of the supplements and vitamins that […]
I’ve just spent two weeks sick, oh my god, since I’ve been a ‘grown up’, I can hardly think of any times that I’ve had to rest and recuperate for so long. Now once I got my head around it, I’ve really appreciated the experience, but initially it was blinking hard, because I had to […]
