I went out with my bestie last night, we sang and danced and laughed and it’s fair to say that meeting him was one of the best things to happen in my life. I’m lucky, I’ve got a tight circle of very special friends, some lifelong some more recent but either way a family I’ve…
Not lost mojo.
I had the best time last night, I’m still basking in the glory of a fun night out with my closest friend and his partner. The three of us went to see of all things The Cher Show musical now those of you that know me well will know I’m by no means a Cher…
Spoilers.
Someone laughed at me this weekend for liking spoilers. Most people hate them don’t they? Spoilers, you know that whole, “don’t tell me I’ve not seen it yet!!!” My friend’s husband went to uni with us and if he couldn’t watch the Liverpool match he’d turn off his phone and all social media etc to…
Starting school.
Time flies doesn’t it, this time 5 years ago I was battling tongue tie feeding issues, feeling like a milking machine surrounded by pumps, frozen breastmilk, formula, bottles and nipple cream. It was one hell of a time as me and my new born had a tough and sometimes teary start to motherhood and I…
Just have to accept it.
I had an interesting conversation the other day at a friend’s. I was speaking to a lady who’s the anniversary of her father’s passing coming up and we were talking about how it affects us. Now I don’t always find the day itself that hard, in fact I don’t find the run up too bad.…
Coping when it gets tough.
It’s been a rough few weeks, emotionally more than anything. That’s one thing I seem to always have down, the practical stuff, I’m good at handling life when shit goes down. It’s easy, I can make arrangements and have the best support network for when life gets tipped upside down. It’s one of the first…
Lessons learned.
Some people are just meant to be in your life aren’t they? I mean most of my squad are most definitely lifelong friends and also bizarrely connected to me through many ways, I mean my bestie has grown up with me and no matter how our lives have drifted we always end up back together…
This one’s for P.
It comes to something when an episode of Corrie makes me write a blog post! Bear with me though because it’s really got me thinking and it’s almost brought together too running themes within my blog, grief and parenthood. You see I’ve just watched little Sam visit him mum with Nick in the chapel of…
I don’t need anything.
Someone very special to me celebrated their 50th birthday recently. This guy is more than just a neighbour, the whole family is. They’ve stood by me through the toughest of times, seen me and little P at our worst, celebrated us at our best and welcomed us regardless of either with warm, friendly open arms.…
Maid.
Spoiler alert…I think, I don’t know, as usual I’ve just started writing and I don’t where I’m going with it. I just need to write. I’m watching Maid on Netflix, it’s amazing and has me gripped, it was recommended by a friend and I’ve loved it. It’s just everything I needed to see, it’s women’s…
