March the month of March in Diary
My sister and I have both signed up for a sponsored challenge, to do 11,000 steps every day in March. Each step represents a man who dies from prostate cancer every year in the U.K. I know some o...
The British in Diary
I saw an American women comment on something saying that British culture is incredibly dull and bland, and the USA is made up of all the people who were “sensible enough to leave” For some reason...
Today is my sister’s birthday! And my niece’s birthday! And St. Andrew’s Day! Today’s prompt appears to be asking what my plans are for December. Well, Christmas stuff innit, on top of normal wo...
Who is here? in Diary
I noticed I wrote this on this day in 2016, so I thought I would do it again. A lot of my entries are Friends Only these days, so I’m wondering if there’s anyone here that I don’t know about and ...
I’ve been reading The Little Book of Lykke by Meik Wiking. It studies how different countries around the world achieve happiness and it’s very inspiring. So I’ve created a new Facebook group call...
I just found out my roller derby and PB friend Hypnotica died of lung cancer on Friday. She was younger than me and never smoked. I knew she had cancer but she didn’t share much of the detail and...
I’m not a royalist by any stretch of the imagination, but our Queen ruled for over 70 years with dignity, grace and decorum, carrying out her duties right up until two days before her death. I’m ...
Harrison was sick for the rest of the day yesterday, he couldn’t even keep water down and even puked up the single spoon of Calpol I gave him to try and bring his temperature down. Bless him, in ...
Plague house in Children
Last night Harrison didn’t go to sleep until 9:30pm, me and Dave went to sleep straight after him. Over the next six hours, the boys both woke up four times each. It’s very unlike Harrison, but h...
Billy has been struggling with sleep the last few nights. He’s been waking up loads and wriggling around, keeping me awake. I think it must be the heat. Last night he stayed in his own bed from a...
Another waffly one in Diary
General bits and pieces. I’ve had a little bit more work to do today, but it’s still been really quiet. I expressed my concern that I might be made redundant if it carries on like this, but my li...
Nightmares in Diary
The whole Virgin saga still isn’t resolved. To update, when our TV broke about five weeks ago, we bought a new one from Currys and were told, if we took out a Virgin package, we could get £200 ca...
On Saturday night I went out with my workmate Taryn. I haven’t seen her since Christmas. It was great to have a catch up and lovely to do something on my own and talk about things other than babi...
Random update in Diary
I got my period for the first time in 18 months! I don’t know how my body decides when to start again, maybe Harrison has reduced his breastfeeding enough to affect my hormones? Anyway, I was exp...
Nottingham in Diary
So after the hell of Friday, we had our trip to Nottingham to look forward to. Friday was a looooong day. Dave went to the doctor at 8:30am and was finally discharged from hospital at 7:30pm afte...

Can you all see this photo? I’ve been trying to post photos on here since November and think I may have finally figured it out?
Tired and broke in Diary
I’m so tired. Harrison’s sleep has been getting worse and worse and now he’s at a point where he absolutely will not go to sleep unless he’s latched onto my boob and wakes up and fusses around ev...

Suggestions please in Diary
As I don’t seem to be able to link photos here from Facebook anymore, I need to find somewhere else I can host photos and easily find the URL of the pictures so I can post them here. Where do you...
Just some waffle in Diary
I loaned some money to someone a while back and they paid me back yesterday, so that’s taken the burden off me worrying about Christmas, I can afford to get gifts for everyone now. I reckon I’ve ...
Mortimer update in Diary
Dave called the vet yesterday and arranged to take Mortimer in on Friday morning. Last night he decided to give her a flea bath as she still had fleas, and she was also filthy and stunk of urine,...
Dave has two cats, Harriet and Mortimer. I’ve never been a fan of cats but he’s had them for 16 years, so they come with the territory. The last few weeks, Mortimer has been getting thinner and t...
