The weekend just gone was a fab one! I was invited by SWAN UK to attend a blogging workshop to discuss techniques, skill sets, twitter and the issues of being a parent of an undiagnosed child in general, especially bearing in mind that April 29th 2016 will be this years Undiagnosed Children’s Awareness Day.… Continue reading Blinging it…….

D-Day….Red shoes Part 2…
Yesterday was D-Day – The Day I spoke at the Rare Diseases UK AGM in front of various learned bods and alliances of support groups etc. I have had so many wonderful messages, e-mails and texts asking how it went and am truly overwhelmed by the support; it means a lot. Since everyone was still… Continue reading D-Day….Red shoes Part 2…
Put on your red shoes…….
Since I am writing this in the week that David Bowie died 😦 it seems more than a little appropriate that I get to use these iconic words in a blog post (thank you Let’s Dance)…  Ironic also that I had already planned the title of this piece before news of Mr Bowie’s untimely passing… Continue reading Put on your red shoes…….

The Good, The Bad….& the ugly….
I threw my toys out the pram a few weeks ago….figueratively you understand although I must admit I did feel like throwing things literally as well…..sadly, I am (allegedly) a grown up and this sort of behaviour is frowned upon…unless you are at a Greek wedding, or so I’m told. What was the reason for… Continue reading The Good, The Bad….& the ugly….

Whoop.. Whoop… Step Away from Dr Google
This post serves a two-fold function. It’s spurring me on to get writing and it’s keeping my fingers and brain away from the naughty world of Google (& before we go much further, I don’t mean THOSE kind of bits of google that should come with parental advisory warnings!!) I don’t know about you but… Continue reading Whoop.. Whoop… Step Away from Dr Google
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……

You don’t have to be crazy to live here…………….
I remember being at a friend’s house when I was growing up and seeing this cutesy sign in the kitchen: “You don’t have to be crazy to live here…but it helps.” Â As I have aged, (I would use the word matured but I know I’m not kidding anyone) I realise that the adage “many a… Continue reading You don’t have to be crazy to live here…………….
