I'm linking up with Vic Welton for #Prose4T. Have a look at the posts linked up, there's some lovely diversity on there. My contribution today is one I wrote for last week but didn't get around to linking. It has been, and continues to be, an absolute... Read more

It's Monday (again, the weeks are flying by) and I've linked up with Jaime at oliversmadhouse for #MagicMoments. My #MagicMoment first happened 9 years ago and carries on daily, to a certain extent. Whizzing back 9 years and 4 months.... we had a decision... Read more

I remember Home Economics in secondary school, not so much for what we learnt, but what we made. There were various recipes like Pineapple Upside Down cake and, very memorably, Mango Chutney. Memorable because the jar smashed in my book bag and everything... Read more

Today's Bookworm Wednesday books are by Katherine Lodge and are very much along the lines of "Where's Wally" but for girls. We stumbled across these by accident and they have proved themselves to be very useful in terms of prompting conversation about... Read more

I'm linking in with #MagicMoments over at theoliversmadhouse.co.uk again today. We've all had very little sleep thanks to D's suffering from anxieties for most of the night (pass me some coffee please) so it's good to revisit something and stay positive.... Read more

Yesterday was not a good day - click here for my diary post - it didn't start well and it certainly didn't continue well. One of the downsides about D having a dreadful start was that I wasn't really focused on what I was meant to be doing. I wrote our... Read more

I dropped T and D off at their schools this morning and, as usual on a Monday, my thoughts turned to what song I'd choose for today's "Music Monday". The obvious choice was something from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat", I'm surprised... Read more

I don't normally do this, so please excuse this mish-mash/brain dump. I'm usually a positive soul but I'm so tired. I think my body is telling me something, it's been doing it for a while and I should listen to it. (Cue a bit of a pity party) In the last... Read more

I don't watch reality TV as a norm. Anxiety attacks a la "I'm a Celebrity"? My children face and conquer those every day going about their routines, meltdowns similar to "Celebrity Big Brother"? I care for and live with autism so, again, it's all too... Read more
Good morning, injection day for D, didn't go brilliantly but it's done. Poor thing. Hope everyone's day goes well #autismparent
