Welcome to my Friday Rant. It’s my blog and I will have a good rant if I want to… My beef is with LinkedIn. Not with the actual site or what it does but with people who use it like Facebook. I’m on both sites. I use them both for very different purposes. LinkedIn is […]
A slightly rebellious Friday’s Rant from the Soapbox in MY Living Room…. “I never said you had to offer me a second chance I never said I was a victim of circumstance I still belong Don’t get me wrong And you can speak your mind But not on my time” Billy Joel – My Life Lyrics Something […]
Actually, it’s not sponsored by anything. Unlike all my other social media feeds. Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook? I’m seeing sponsored posts, promotional posts, adverts or rather insidiously “you might like this?” Coming my way. I hate it. I hate that my lovely social networks are becoming like a TV channel riddled with adverts and promotional […]
Your mother and father would like to point out that it’s now the long school summer holiday. Two weeks ago, you were sleeping until 6:30/7am. Since the holidays started, you’ve been waking up between 4:45am & 5am. We don’t know why. You just tell us: “I’m awake and my tummy is hungry and I […]

I don’t talk a lot about politics here, unless it’s relevant to parenting or a rant, but today, I’m keeping my Friday Rant simple with some questions I’d like answers to. It’s political… So, we had an election last week. We all know that. In the aftermath, our Prime minister not only appointed the ghastly […]
Welcome to my Friday’s Rants from the Soap Box in my Living Room. My little space in the week, where I get things off my chest, and have a jolly good chunter. It’s therapeutic and spares LSH from having to listen to me! 😉 So this is my second blog post about poo this week, […]

Stop sharing news that isn’t yours to share on Facebook! If your cousin has had a baby, it’s not your job to share the news to all and sundry on your Facebook, or theirs, until they’ve announced it themselves. The birth of a baby is amazing news but you don’t get to steal someone […]
