Confessions of a Single Mum

The ups, the downs and sideways views of life as a single parent

Dear Body

By

Monday, September 16: Write a public love letter to someone in your life. (It doesn't necessarily need to be romantic.) Dear Body This is where I should be declaring undying love and admiration to you, this being a love letter and all that. But if the truth is known, you know as well as I, that we don’t get on that much. You were trouble free the first 20 years I had you but the last 20 years we have been through the mill a bit. You complained at being pregnant so much that the first ... VIEW POST

How Has Blogging Changed You?

By

Day 8 Blogtember topic: Discuss ways that blogging or social media has changed you. Hmmm has it changed me? I think it would be easier to say what it hasn't changed about me as that list would definitely be shorter. I started blogging back in April 2008. My other half had taught me to play poker but then got rather annoyed when I kept beating him. He got so annoyed that he banned me from the boys weekly poker game. Rather peeved I started a poker site for girls. About 6 months later me and the ... VIEW POST

Teenange Signs

I wouldn't say being a parent of teenagers is any harder than the manic years when they are toddlers or that it's any easier really. The only way I can describe it is that it's 'interesting' or 'different'. When you meet another parent you can normally tell instantly they are parents of a toddler. First off there might be the biggest clue of all with junior swinging off the bottom of the parents jeans, only pausing to peer at you from behind parents leg and then ask in a very loud whiny voice if ...

Being Diagnosed Gave Me A Life

By

Tuesday, September 10: Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn. Being told that all my aches, pains and other varying problems weren't in my head or tricks of my mind but because I had M.E was the best news ever. I wasn't to know how much it would impact me till years later though. I don't mean it in a sadistic yay I am ill type way that it was good news, it was such a relief that after what seemed like forever someone finally told me I wasn't going mad. At last I had something ... VIEW POST

Yes I Am Talking About a Screwdriver

By

Thursday, September 5: Pass on some useful advice or information you learned and always remembered. I was going to spout on how modern day life seems to be all about how people seem to think the world owes them and how we reap what we sew. But then I figured that's all very deep, boring and not that useful. I then thought what piece of information I have gone back to time and time again ? And its this..... ... VIEW POST

P.E Kit, Pens and iPad

By

It's nearly here, it's so close I can nearly touch it but just a bit longer. College started at the beginning of the week so oldest teen started and so far so good. Though I am not too sure on this home half the week thing. Youngest goes back to school on Friday. Yes this does seem a really stupid day to return back to school after 6 weeks off but in hindsight I think its so that scores of children don't turn up on day on all demoralised instead they are fairly okish as the next day is the ...
