I feel like Victor Bloody Meldrew. If I had 50 pence for every time I think “I don’t believe it” I’d be a wealthy woman right now. Things I can’t believe: We have two boys at senior school. Bigger is settling in with a shrug and God, here we go again. Slightly Smaller is loving […]

What is life really like with a dog?
So this is a share (with permission) of a facebook conversation I have had with Rachel, who thinks she may want to add a dog into her family life. There’s no grammar. There’s no structure. There’s no nothing – because, well, you’ll see why soon. Anyway, here’s the conversation… .. Hi – wanted to pick […]
February 2019 – what’s new?
I was going to write “what’s new pussycat?” in the title – but I can’t, as a) I don’t like cats and b) I own a dog so it feels disloyal. Anyway. On with the show. It’s February 2019. The third of February. Where are we at? – E has turned 12 today and had […]
The healing power of a hair cut…
15th December 2018: I am ashamed to tell you all that today, when I had my hair cut, it was for the first time this year. My hair was very long, past my shoulders and without Kate Middleton’s hairdresser on hand, it didn’t look very Kate esque. So I booked in with Jon at Phillip […]
All change …..
View this post on Instagram Feeling more Christmassy now that we have trees up and Richard is moaning about tinsel being used. He’s not keen on it. We have also had the ceremonial anointing of the trees with a fairy and this year, the new addition of a sausage dog which has been […]
The best baby gift for first Christmas
I was talking with someone today about how I wish that when our boys were small, it was a done thing and socially acceptable to buy second hand. FB groups were not what they are now. Online apps were not in existence. And I thought I needed to buy new for the boys. Ha. These […]
Cambridge Mummy on … what’s really important
November 2018, OK, this is the last post I’m publishing from my drafts for tonight. This was written on 26th August 2012. The boys were 5 and 4 years old. I think. My maths is not working as well as I want it to at the moment. I am so so so pleased to find […]
O Come All Ye Faithful …..
November 2018 – I don’t remember this – Richard playing the ukelele that day. I don’t remember much of this Christmas. But I think there is a photo of my Dad and my Brother and his now Wife on our sofa. I’ll get it and put it here in this post. The Bitch Rules is […]
Goodbye Christmas 2013
November 2018 – and to think, we didn’t know then, that we wouldn’t have many more Christmases with my Dad. Funny eh. I love finding these posts in drafts. It’s a healing thing. Farewell my friend. We’re done with you. The decorations have been taken down and put back in the loft. But somehow, there’s […]
