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…. I also linked up with MummyBarrow for her Ranty Friday. You can find […]

So the tooth fairy came, and I didn’t pass out
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote this post about being freaked out about the tooth fairy and the whole children losing their teeth thing, and how I would deal with a first wobbly tooth, when it decided to come out. On Monday, last week, I sent her to school, and I had a feeling […]
READ MORESo that Dove video?
(Image source) I lost my cool slightly on Facebook, and I should know better. I posted a comment on my own, private Facebook page, about how I felt this video, which is doing the rounds on Facebook and Twitter, was pointless, and a marketing ploy for a huge company. I got told off, and lectured […]

Getting over a fear of spiders. It can be done
I was terrified of spiders, big ones, small ones, hairy ones, I did not like them. I would freak out if I knew one was in a room, and the thought of them made me anxious and sweaty. I think my fear stems from a small spider falling on my face, from a wall, when […]
READ MORESo, do we have an answer….?
Or at least we hope, we have worked out why Small Boy may not be sleeping so well. I am kicking myself, and feel very guilty, that I should have worked it out sooner, but now we know, and hopefully we can work our way to a solution. At Christmas time, Small Boy got flu, […]
READ MOREWe have one of each, should we be “done”?
Small Boy, one week old Big Girl, 24 hours old LSH and I have been discussing recently, our plans for the future, and the possibility of a 3rd baby to add to the lovely chaos of our lives. When we got married, I wanted 5 children. LSH wasn’t so keen on so many, so we […]
