Upstairs my little girl is singing. The house is quiet but for a low electronic humming, the occasional scuffle of a gerbil and the sure and steady tick tick tick of a nearby clock. I am weary, cold filled, sore lipped, drip nosed and dry eyed. But I am also calm and content. Comfortably still. Happily [...]

I have a friend. He’s broad and dark and could be considered handsome. I don’t mind him seeing me with bed head hair, no make up and wearing nothing more than a smile. My parents like him, my kids like him, even my ex-husband likes him! Exciting right? Except there’s a catch. He’s not actually a person, but a much loved [...]

We’ve had an abbreviated account of her weekend which included a 25ft climb – pretty high when you’re only 4 foot 6 – a cave maze, [...]

Since becoming a single parent I’ve learned many things, but one of the most importantthings I have learned is that I am a very lucky girl. I am a very lucky girl because I have a family who will truly be there when I need them. This past week my Mum and Dad have been amazing. [...]

When my Miss E went to the fabulous Forbidden Corner for a friend’s birthday she brought me back a gift. I never expected one and I’m sure she didn’t go with the intention of spending some of her savings on me, but she did. When she arrived home, tired, happy, grubby and slightly soggy, she placed [...]
