Have The T-Shirt’s recent post has inspired me! With the dismal cloud of Christmas looming over us, I’m going to follow in her footsteps, and make a list for Santa!
This isn’t a list of presents I’m going to buy other people, nor is it a list of presents I’d like. It’s a list of (mostly [...]

Some people never cease to amaze you..
I bumped into a girl I went to school with, in the pet shop this morning. I was keen to get the polite greetings over with, and just get on with buying cat litter. She, however, wanted to have a full-on recount of the past God-know-how-many years [...]

When I woke up at 5.45am this morning, and hauled my poor ass out of bed – I was kept going by the idea that mid-afternoon I would have finished work, and would be curled up on the sofa with a pitcher of iced-coffee and a box of Green & Blacks chocolates*.

I Saw Your Nanny – Report Bad Nannies
If you feel you can’t completely trust the person who you place to care for your child, then maybe you should be doing it yourself. If you can afford a [...]

There’s a child in my class who very clearly has behavioural problems. He bites, kicks and pushes the other children, and sticks his tongue out at adults when they speak to him. His mother seems to think this is all perfectly normal behaviour, replying with “Oh, haha, boys will be boys!” whenever anyone [...]
