Mum of 5, wife of 1.
Saw a post about a 30yo man planning to meet up with a 16yo CHILD. And the amount of comments justifying it with ‘well 16 is the age on consent ‘ is fucking shocking.

Out earlier and I was chatting to a mum with a 2yo. He was playing with Beau having fun, then he started spinning around. It was cute and I lol’d. Then the mum said ‘oh I’m really worried about him spinning, he does it a lot. I’ve made an appointment with the gp about it as I wonder if he has issues

Just had this. Not something I’d ever usually have but options were limited.
Guys. It was really, really nice.

16 went to a sleepover last night. The mum had messaged to say if allowed she was going to get them a couple of drinks. Fine, I’d rather her drink in a house rather than in a park in the middle of nowhere (my teen years)
Anyway, I’m really bloody angry. Turns out the mums ‘couple of drinks’ was a

Had such a nice day, Beau had waited all week for his fave pub lunch and it didn’t disappoint

I was friends with Scott Mills when he started presenting Totp, the excitement we all had over it was mad.

Morning, Happy valentines! I’m still feeling rough, but I’m off out for a valentines pub lunch with my husband, the kids and my dad 😆 it’s Dad’s first valentines since my Stepmum died, so we are taking him out. Any ‘first’ is hard isn’t it, so a nice distraction.

Got up, tried to function. Gave up and went back to bed. I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I’m not unwell really I just feel fatigued and rough, it’s weird.
On the plus side I’m watching the Jesy Nelson doc which is a really lovely watch, her and her ex are amazing.

Written today off. Was up most of the night with palpitations, which usually means I’m run down. Woke and I feel tired and out of sorts, hoping I’m not getting a virus. Feel like it’s my body telling me to rest, so I’m in bed & will stay here until the guilt hits

Nothing more humbling than a 3yo looking at you then saying ‘but why don’t your eyes work properly, you look weird’ after I took my contacts out and put my glasses on.

Can we all just be honest please?
Parents evening. A waste of fucking time.
And not because I don’t want to go, but because a 5 min appt to find out everything about my teen at school is ridiculous. Go back to zoom meetings and put us all out of our misery.

With hayfever season soon approaching (mine starts March) I wanted to share some tips because last year I managed for the first year ever to pretty much not suffer at all!
Firstly I started my one a day in mid February (starting this weekend), I also started taking my one a day before bed, rather

If someone could prompt me on a Sunday to make my pasta sauce so I then don’t have to make it after my busiest work day, that would be fab thanks.
