Welcome to my Friday’s Rants from the Soap Box in my Living Room. A small space in the week where I can have a chunter about things that have made me twitch with annoyance or made me question if the world has gone mad or not. This week, my foot stomping tantrum is titled “MOVE […]

I’m not adding you on LinkedIn

READ MOREFriday’s Rant from the Soap Box in MY living room…
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 […]
