Please Stop

I have a problem
It’s not as large as a couple of rhinos but is definitely bigger than a hedgehog.
You see, Misses E and M have a number of toys at Daddy’s that he has allowed to go…quiet.
We’re talking Pixel Chix, Love2love Bears, that sort of thing.  But since J has come into his life, so [...]

A Guilt-Free Snog in Old London Town

I love coming to London.  It’s such an adventure when you live anywhere else.  I always feel weirdly grown up as I wend my way through the city’s underbelly and come out mostly where I planned to.  It takes me back to the start of secondary school when just getting from one classroom to another [...]

Breaking up is hard to do

Life is hard right now.  My PMDD seems to have been taking over and I’ve been sinking into the kind of low that leaves me questioning so many things. The kind that leaves a constant prickling behind the eyes and an ache in the heart.  The kind that makes every day a trawl.
At the same [...]
