I haven’t had a rant about Facebook for a while so here you go…This is of course, tongue in cheek 😉 Dear Facebook. You want information about me. The more information I share with you, the more useful I am to you in terms of advertising revenue. You tell me you want my information because […]

My dirty little habit. Don’t be rude about it.
I am an adult, a forty year old adult (I am still getting used to that last bit, kind of living in denial about it, and trying to pretend I am still twenty something, sadly my body is not going along with that game!!) I have a nursing qualification, among other things and I also […]
READ MOREFriday’s Rant from the SoapBox in MY Living Room – I will not love every parenting moment just because you tell me to…
I posted this status on Facebook this week. We have had a particularly tough few weeks, with my boy not sleeping that well, and also his behavior has been a bit harder to manage. He is tired, it has been a long 1/2 of term, and he gets like this. We are all tired and […]
READ MOREFriday’s Rant – stop with the silly faces on Snap Chat…
This week is brief, I know, you all sigh with relief! ? I’ve joined SnapChat. It’s another social media app, and given I don’t know what I’m doing and already have a billion social media applications I can barely manage, is seems daft to add another but I’m weak, I’m a foolish sheep and I […]
READ MOREI’d like to know something about school dinners?
So our government is constantly saying that parents don’t feed their children properly, that children are inactive, obesity levels are skyrocketing, that there’s too much sugar in food. They also tell us that school dinners are the answer to making sure our children are fed well during the school day. In fact, I was harassed […]
READ MOREI have a question for anyone who sells MLM schemes?
So, it’s a major annoyance of mine, when my social media is bombed or spammed by people selling things via an MLM or multi level marketing scheme. It’s incredibly annoying when I post something on say, my Instagram feed, perhaps maybe about my knee recovery progress or maybe a gentle whine about having had a […]
READ MOREParents are worried…
Apparently the BBC is closing a channel, and making CBCC, one of it’s children’s channels, run later, instead. Meh, you say…who cares? Apparently some parents do, and are worried that their children are going to demand to watch tv until 9pm at night, and they’re up in arms, about this. The BBC has responded by […]

Dear parent of the child in my class who constantly has head lice, which you refuse to treat properly… Your child has lice, a common issue that children at school and around other children pick up. It’s not nice, and it’s a bit of a pain to deal with but it is possible to get […]
READ MOREFriday’s Rant from the SoapBox in MY Living Room – is it just me that thinks this is weird?
Welcome to Friday’s Rant. My little space in the week where I get random things off my chest. It makes me feel better. Sometimes a good rant can be therapeutic. So it’s not a secret that I play the occasional game of Candy Crush, and happen to have a fondness for pretending to be a farmer […]

Dear lady in trying hairbrushes in a shop, in the hair tools and accessories section (in a well known chain store of beauty and health products) I happened to be looking for a new hairbrush, so I stopped and stood next to you as you were apparently doing the same. I picked up a brush […]
