I am not overly given to mawkishness or sentimentality on the whole; those who know me well and especially those on my personal FB page are more inclined to find me tongue in cheek ironic about my own offspring’s “accomplishments” (0ften used in the loosest sense of the word) than lauding the joys and wonderment… Continue reading In This Moment…

Once Upon a Time….
Let me tell you a story. Are you sitting comfortable? Then I’ll begin… Once upon a time there was a (relatively) normal family. Let’s call them the Jones’s, although I don’t think may people will be aiming to “keep up with the Jones’s” once they have read this. In fact perhaps, it’s more a nightmare,… Continue reading Once Upon a Time….
Escape!
I’m on a train down to London. By myself! Sans enfant!!! I’m practically fizzing with excitement (which likely explains why despite quite a busy train, nobody has ventured to sit next to me! 😊) Those of you who have to commute regularly are probably perplexed by my merriment, & wondering if I am a little… Continue reading Escape!

Beans, Beans the musical fruit!
Ah yes Beans. I’ve ‘bean’ meaning to post a little more about this for a while but that thing called every day life seems to have gotten in the way recently and between hospital appointments, ironing, food shops, medical supply requirements (arguing discussions with pharmacists) and my eldest turning 16 (how?!) I have ‘bean’ more… Continue reading Beans, Beans the musical fruit!
Shoulda, woulda, coulda…..
I’m not often given to introspection or too much dwelling on the past; after all, it rarely helps in changing anything going forward and dredges up old emotions and difficulties that you can’t fix. Indeed, as my Father is so fond of saying “If your Aunty had bo**ocks, she would be your Uncle! (so couth,… Continue reading Shoulda, woulda, coulda…..
The Wrestler, juggler & the plate spinner…
Well I bet that title has you wondering? Have I taken up circus skills? Zip wires at dawn?Spandex leotards a plenty? For everyone’s sakes, let me please reassure you this is very far from the case. Not so much a vision in lycra, more a disturbing, nightmarish-never going to sleep – again kind of… Continue reading The Wrestler, juggler & the plate spinner…
I am *that* Mum…..*
Tomorrow is one of those school days that strikes fear in my heart every time it rolls round…and I’m sure it seems to be more often than once a year: World Book Day! Don’t get me wrong, we LOVE books and reading in this household and the little 2 still love a bedtime story of… Continue reading I am *that* Mum…..*
The Plan……
When you are sat in front of a consultant and they utter the words “So Mum (grrr, a real pet hate that I no longer have a name of my own but don’t get me started on that) why are you here?” I have often wondered if they are looking for some deep, existential,… Continue reading The Plan……
Blinging it…….
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…….
