I could barely sleep last night for worry; worry about my performance, my children's performance and my husbands. Twelve months on from the day I shamed my family I was ready for a comeback. Today was the day.... It was Sports Day..... Pep talks were given in the car; twin girl murmured some crap that indicated that it's not about winning but about trying your best, quickly he who … [Read more...]

It's done, it's over and the relief on my offsprings faces is more than apparent. Santa has sodded back off to Lapland and is currently detoxing after consuming an almost deadly excessive mix of whiskey, beer, milk and cookies, mince pies, and biscuits all in one night and Rudolph is laid in the stable … [Read more...]
