The blog post where I will admit to being prepared to face being arrested if a scary clown comes my way… 😉 If you keep up with social media and the news you will know there has been an outbreak of people dressing as clowns recently, but not your average, friendly, cheery looking, turns up […]

Dear Facebook, no you can’t have my number but thanks for your concern for my privacy…
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 […]

Yet another miserable summer…
So I didn’t have a rant planned for this week. I did have a few rants in my head, but they aren’t suitable for a family blog so I won’t share them (it’s been a rough week in many ways) but I have decided that I need a Saturday Strop, because I missed Friday’s Rant. […]

Let’s wake mum up EARLY, she loves it!
My response to my children, who have been waking well before 6am, despite it being the school half-term…Kiddos, mummy loves you very much but she really doesn’t want to discuss Lego, cats, hamsters, weather, birthday party plans, movies you want to watch or what birds are singing before the big hand on the clock is […]

Friday’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 […]

Where have the P’s and Q’s gone?
Something I have noticed, and maybe it’s just me, and my current tired and slightly weary of the world outlook, and spending a lot of time around people as an introvert, which can make me more sensitive to what is going on around me, is that people don’t say please or thank you, or even […]

Spam mail is coming our way…
So I have had a very hectic week, and to be honest, I’ve probably missed a lot going on in the world, but I happened to hear something on the news about UK Energy companies and my ears pricked up. Our gas and electricity bills being a sore and rather expensive point with me. Energy […]

Rugby is dangerous? Let’s ban tackling?
Rugby is dangerous? Let’s ban tackling? I was very fortunate to be able to attend a very good school in Scotland (because of my Dad’s job) and at our school, rugby was a major sport, played by many boys. The girls played touch rugby too. I grew up watching matches from the sidelines, and it’s […]
