We are Moving!
The time has come to move elsewhere.
Thank you tumblr for helping on my blogging way but I’m looking to spread my wings.

What's my name again??
I had a really interesting conversation with a friend the other night about titles and how being a Mum changes people’s perception of you. When I had Miss B, someone I know told me to forget being known by my own name because the minute I became a parent I would only be referred to as Miss B’s Mum. As much as it stuck in my throat, they were right but there is so much more to me than just that,...
Cheating
Last night a friend put a comment on her Facebook about watching the Sex and the City movie and it sparked a question about cheating.
There are many excuses for cheating, boredom, being drunk, my partner doesn’t understand me or I fell on it, but I will be honest and say that I think they are all bollocks. I’m not sure I believe that as humans we are meant to be monogamous, I think we make the...
Make a Wish!
On Sunday, Miss B asked for a penny to throw into a wishing well so I gave her 2 coins.
Her first was, “I wish that when I grow up I will work in Wagamama” - her reasoning was that she loves it there! Fair Do’s :)
Her second was “I wish that when I grow up my Daddy will be my prince and marry me”
When Mr B tried to explain to her that he couldn’t be her...
Happy Miss Bday
Miss B is 4 today.

* drawing and colouring

Talking to Ghosts
A few weeks ago, Miss B and I were in the car when she told me that she missed her Bampa. Her Bampa is my Grandpa who passed away 2 years ago and she pretty much saw him daily until she was 21 months old. He spent a lot of time talking and singing to her and she loved him and they were very close.
I told her it was ok to miss him because we love him very much and that I’m sure he misses...
Kids say the funniest things
So Miss B got a new pair of trainers from Clarks which set me back £30, she had them for 4 days and came back from nursery with them in a real state. I picked her up a second pair specifically for nursery and the first day she wore them came home with them covered in an orange/dusty/mucky mess. When I asked her what was on her shoes she replied “Alien Soup”. Kinda hard to be mad with...
Down with the sickness
I suffer from migraines and lately I’ve been getting stress and tension headaches. I’ve been trying out different medication for the last 6 months and it seems that daily beta blockers and painkillers are working so far.
On Wednesday night I woke up about midnight and couldn’t stand up straight due to crippling pains in my stomach. I walked to the bathroom but still...
A Lovely Family Day Out
Mr B and I have taken some time off because quite frankly we are both exhausted, I wanted to make sure that we had some family time just chilling and a few nice days out, so we decided to go and check out the new Riverside Museum.
When I was a kid my Mum used to drag us around museums during the summer holidays which I hated at the time, but thinking back they were actually great and I have some...
Support
When you make the decision to become a parent there are a lot of things that need to be considered. Are you going to go back to work? Will you have a career break? If you do will it be part time or full time? What will your childcare arrangements be? Nursery? Childminder? Family help?
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh Too many questions!!!
I went back to work when Miss B was 5 months old and even though I...

13, unlucky for some?
Today, Mr B and I have been together for 13 years.
What feels like a very long time ago, a boy met a girl and they fell in love. They had a whirlwind romance and moved in together after 6 months and were engaged within 18.
It’s not always been easy and we have had some tough times over the years, but you are still my best friend and we have been on such an incredible journey together that...
Memories
Two years have passed since you were taken from us and although time is a healer you are loved and missed just as much.
Grandpa, I think about you every day with love in my heart and a smile on my face. You were the best Dad that anyone could ask for and can never be replaced

Mothers Day
What a lovely day I have had so far.
I was woken up at 6:30am this morning with Miss B shouting that she needed a wee! Oh the glamour :)
Miss B made me 2 lovely cards and bought me this Dory plush, which apparently she spent ages picking out for me along with some lovely flowers from M&S.
We decided a few weeks ago that instead of running about mental that we would have a nice day just the...

Oh no, the big 30?
So, I am now 30.
30!
How did that happen? Surely I was only 21 yesterday???
Most people who have spoken to me about turning 30 have had a look of dread on their face with a real concern about my mental health for the big day! The honest truth is, I was looking forward to turning 30 and starting a new chapter in my life. I am in a good place with my family and my career. I’m not glad to...
Black Monday?
The last week of my 20’s hasn’t got off to a good start. I woke up this morning with a stinky migraine and felt awful. I took all my painkillers and got ready to head to Dundee. I then had to pull in at the side of road to be sick about 15 mins from home. I set off again and then got stuck on the M73 because of a accident AND a break down on the A80. Got through that and just as I...
Out with the old and all that jazz
Happy new year everyone
I can’t believe it was just over a week ago that we were out celebrating hogmanay!
I’ve never been a massive fan of New Year probably partly to do with the fact that my family didn’t celebrate it. Some of our close friends had a big 80’s prom themed party and we had a lovely night and didn’t get home until 5:30am, what a party animal eh :)...
