26th March…I’ve been dreading this day, this anniversary of a year since I last saw my father-in-law, the day he was moved forcibly into a care home. He’d been in hospital for a month and, as it became more and more apparent that he couldn’t go home and also that the first coronavirus wave was […]
When D was diagnosed with autism at age 4.5, I had an immense need to find out as much as I could about autism, I still do, I don’t think I will ever stop learning. It felt quite a lonely time, I hadn’t joined social media and really really wanted to find other parents/carers to […]
I’m sure you’ve been inundated with emails regarding the GDPR policy that comes into effect tomorrow, here’s mine! The GDPR law has come into effect to ensure that your data isn’t being used for anything unethical, or without your consent.

A couple of weeks ago I had a mammogram. It wasn’t the first time I’ve had one, my first was about four years ago, after I’d been to the doctor about my wellbeing and she booked me in for a full “MOT” (mammogram, smear, blood tests) to check me out as I had neglected […]
Today’s prompt is “A Song That Makes You Want To Fall In Love”. Who else could I dedicate this to but my Hubbie and when I first caught sight of our children, with that “wow, did we make this baby?” moment.

I can see why they’re so popular, there is something quite mesmorising about watching the spinner, similar to […]

As the sole breadwinner, you need to provide all the basic needs, education, and even settle bills that come with the same. According to research, the cost of raising one child to adulthood is approximately […]
This happened today: That stain isn’t a fake tan fail btw, it’s the iodine. I also have some arrows pointing downwards in marker pen on my calves, drawn on just before I went in, which are a bit funny to see. So, recuperation and lots of changes to our family life for the next few […]
Apologies in advance, I upgraded my phone’s settings yesterday and haven’t been able to upload pictures since then. Am I regretting I updated? Yep. Anyway… the start of the Spring term for T tomorrow and it’s very much a state of dual emotions here. On the one hand, the back-to-school and the routine does benefit […]
“It all looks normal again now”, that’s what T said after the Christmas tree and accompanying bits had been put away, ready to reappear again next December. I must admit, I had noticed that his rocking whilst he concentrated on something had increased but had put it down to maybe being off from school (and […]
