I’ve been truly over-whelmed and grateful for all the messages, emails, texts, visits and all round offers of support in the last few weeks. If ever I needed a kick in the backside and a reminder why I am actually privileged beyond all doubt, the last 9 weeks have galvanised that thought process entirely. In… Continue reading A work in…. progress??

“There are known knowns”…
” There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know. ” Credit: Secretary of Defence Feb 2002… Continue reading “There are known knowns”…
What a fu**in* liberty…..
I am cross!! My nearest and dearest (and not so nearest/dearest!) will attest to the fact that this is not a good state to find me in. I have been chatting to my friend Mrs Jones.

I feel like shouting this from the roof tops and for those of you who are my FB friends you will already know but here goes anyway: I HAD A WEEKEND AWAY…ON MY OWN (well with friends) WITHOUT CHILDREN and in this case, the use of shouty capitals near the top of the page is… Continue reading Here comes the girls……
The Thing……
There is a thing in my house. Strictly speaking, it is things plural. They seem to be arriving by the truck load on a weekly basis and they are lurking in my house bathroom, staring at me benevolently every time I go in. If I’m feeling cross and argumentative (me – mardy? pah!) I might… Continue reading The Thing……
