I was thinking this, as i drove about yesterday morning and a song that evokes strong memories came on the radio. What songs would be on your “Life Soundtrack”? They don’t have to be the coolest songs, or even ones you adore, just songs which make you think of certain times or events when you […]

Funny how the blogring has developed its own in-jokes. Oh, and before i forget, apologies to everyone at the end of the ring i am not quite getting to at the moment and the emails i am forgetting to reply to and thank you for all stopping by so often and commenting and keeping me […]

Must just blog how impressed i am with this. Nursery are teaching the children to sign this year, i think they have quite a lot of non-verbal children there atm, and Maddy has just come home and shown me the signs for “please” “more please” and “hello.” She did them so beautifully, i was really […]

I did a good thing :~) Maddy, Josie and i went off for a quick jaunt to my mum and dads and we had a lovely time. She really revelled in having their full attention and a bit of space and seems much better for it. And of course i liked it too. Josie behaved […]

I’ve obviously got a blocked duct/mastitis type thing. Yesterday my boob felt sore and heavy on one side and underneath. I did all the obvious things, massaged it gently, expressed milk as best i could, changed feeding position (actually managed the rugby ball hold too), wore very supportive bra, fed differently last night etc etc. […]
