Enforced competitive romance? Must be nearly Valentines

ripped up heart

Tweet

I had to pop and buy some stamps at lunchtime – waiting in the queue I couldn’t escape the twee cards, the plastic heart shaped tat and the garish boxes of chocolates – the message was loud and clear ‘you aren’t properly loved unless your significant other has bought you something THIS ugly’

Love/hate my birthday

Tweet

I’m not an overly reflective type.

I pride myself on trying to live in the moment, to live in the joy of what is.

But its funny – its now my birthday and I feel uncharacteristically contemplative.

I have a love/hate relationship with my birthday – there have been wonderful years and there have [...]

There’s a zillion things I should be doing…

… but instead I am going to go to bed with a hot water bottle

Tonight I have crossed one job off the list – I’ve cleared away the piles of mess in our bedroom.  Better than doing nothing.

This is a [...]

What do you do when you think you’ve been lied to?

Tweet

Tricky one this.

Not sure about posting it here.

Not sure at all.

But I need some input, some guidance and to draw on your experiences.  Please.

I think that I may have been lied to.

I think I may have been manipulated in the best ‘pull the middle class heart strings’ way.

I’m [...]

Things I have learnt in 2010

Tweet

That the grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but that change isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

That you can survive a high needs baby but co-sleeping helps.

That you can’t get rid of a severe milk protein allergy by just sheer force of will but you can mitigate its impact on your [...]
