Admit One: Griefworld
Today my hubby had some bad news. The mum of some of his very close childhood friends passed away in her sleep last night. She was still fairly young, in her mid 60's. It was sometime early afternoon that he managed to get a hold of me, in between meetings, to tell me what had …

Well I said that I would have to hit the ground running and I’m pretty sure I ran a marathon today! My head is spinning already and it's only day one! I am bleary eyed, brain dead and definitely knackered but I suspect like any muscle, it's going to take some training to get up …

Just another Mummy Blogger
Today as I was trawling through the many blogs that I follow, I came across an awesome post by Hugzilla (who can I say has one of the best voices out there - in my opinion!) busting the myths about Mummy Bloggers. And I enjoyed it so much I wanted to respond to these myths myself (whilst giving full …
Feeling all the feelings
Yep, this shit is getting real! All day I've been oscillating between excitement and sadness as I count down the days in this last week. I've been doing a little bit of policy writing over the past three weeks which has been motivating and exciting (well, as much as policy writing can ever be exciting). But …
