I’m currently taking part in the #3dates3mths challenge, set by online dating company, Just Singles and this is my final challenge (sob!). I’m going to miss doing this very much, because it has forced me to get off my sofa and finally start dating since my son’s father left when he was 6 weeks old. It has given me…
Chunk’s First Week At Nursery…
Read moreWhat a week it has been! I now get this thing called ‘free time’ three mornings per week, and I still haven’t quite worked out how to just relax during that time (as you can see I’m writing this when I should just chill). Chunk started nursery last week, and it went incredibly well. We…
Going To The Rainforest…!
Read moreLast weekend I took Chunk to the launch of the new Rainforest Adventure section at Brighton Sealife Centre. I’m already a yearly pass holder, because at £40 for the whole year (and Chunk is free until he’s 3) it’s a cheap way to entertain him on the very frequent rainy days we seem to have…

Single Parent Spotlight: Judith Healy
Read moreWelcome to my new, regular blog slot called Single Parent Spotlight! The aim of these interviews is to show how amazing us working single parents are.

What Makes My Mum So Special
Read moreAs Mother’s Day drawers closer, I’m aware of how much I feel for my mum, but of how little I say it to her. In fact the last time I think I told her was when I was about 9 or 10, and I wrote her a poem for Mother’s Day, which still hangs on…
Gift Idea for Nanny: Pocket-Sized Gardens
Read moreMother’s Day isn’t just for mum in my family, as I enjoy giving cards and gifts to all the females in my family, especially my nan. As you know from my Mother’s Day Gift Ideas post, I’m so bored of the standard mug, flowers, chocolates and teddy bear gifts, and have done a lot of…
#3dates3mths Challenge 2: Online Dating
Read moreAs you know, I’m currently taking part in the #3dates3mths challenge, set by online dating company, Just Singles.My first challenge (safari dating) went really well, and I ended up getting a further date from it (but that’s a future post!). The event reminded me what it feels like to be admired and fancied- and oh boy how I’ve…
The 2 Year Developmental Check
Read moreChunk had his 2 year check yesterday, so thought I would let you know what it involves in case your little one is approaching theirs too! After a rush out of the flat to get there on time (I’m rarely on time anywhere these days!) I realised I’d left his water bottle at home, and…
