Last night I was having a look through my old photos (so old they’ve been scanned into iPhoto) and came across one which I wanted to share. That’s me in the middle when I was much much younger. It was taken whilst I was at the University of St Andrews where I spent five happy…

Flashback Friday – first birthday
There’s a new photograph meme over at Cafe Bebe called Flashback Friday. It sounded fun and I found the perfect photograph! We’ll shortly be celebrating Edward’s first birthday and I thought I’d compare my own party many moons ago. I’m a definite child of the 70s with that plastic bib and the party food. We’re…
Five things you want your children to know about you
I love Ella’s Notes from Home and have previously joined in a couple of times. This week’s prompt really made me think: Five things you want your children to know about you. Did I really exist before Edward came along? Sometimes it’s hard to remember! 1 I did exist before you came along. I’m…

Holiday!
Yippee, my holiday from work has officially started, I now have 11 days until I have to get back on public transport. My holiday has grown to epic proportions in my mind for some reason. Not that my job is stressful or hard but I am looking forward to having a break. I have to…
I’ve drunk too much wine :)
Today I’ve been mainly sleeping. Two weeks of worrying about how to get to and from work safely have taken their toll and I’m absolutely knackered. I’ve been thinking how nice it would be to be a Victorian lady. I would wear lovely clothes, a corset and have strange hair dos. More importantly, I’d be…
