Its like a warm hug in your favourite jumper, you're going to love it x

I can really empathise with Bridget Bardot here, a lot of women really do not want any part in having kids. No one should be forced to be a mother.

This is my reminder and encouragement to walk more and to talk more. I love hearing people's stories (and meeting awesome dogs) but have been somewhat hampered recently by a low grade anxiety and a bad knee. But I did start small today with a trip to my local library. Will take it from there.

I'd been reading. This same person also told me I was very enthusiastic, not meaning it as a compliment. He was a very strange man who suffered 2nd hand embaressment from any shows of emotion.

Its a toss up between my husband commenting on my stance when walking "you wouldn't stop a pig in a hallway"; or an aquaintance at a party saying "you're a bit of a feminist, aren't you".

Thank you so much!

This is so wonderfully generous. I would love the Natalie Haynes book if no one else has put themselves forward.

And use that to build a national concensus. Its a start to a long journey away from 'business as usual'. We wont get there straight away, and it will not be perfect but lets make a start
