    I’ve Been Sugar Free For 3 Weeks- Here’s How I’m Doing…

    2nd February 2017

    At the start of January I was feeling at my worst. I’ve been eating really poorly for the last two or three years as I’ve been an exhausted, time-limited single mother of a young child. But I cannot use that excuse anymore. As you saw last year I began to think about going sugar free…

    My Weight Loss Diary: Week 1

    20th October 2013

    As you all know, I’ve been trying to wean off junk food and snacking in an attempt to have a healthier way of life. I still have a lot of baby weight (well that’s what I’ve been calling it), but he’s nearly 19 months old now, so it’s more like lazy-mum weight! My old, gorgeous clothes keep staring at me from behind the fat…

Today we said goodbye to the best mum and nan you Today we said goodbye to the best mum and nan you could ever meet.
I hope we did you proud, and your 3 grand babies showed the same strength, love and respect that you helped to teach them.

You even took your Harry Potter obsession to the grave, and I hope that made you smile. 

I hope you are somewhere keeping us all safe, and look after Stuart for me, who told you often how much he loved you as his mother in law.

I will miss you forever, until hopefully I get to be with you, and drive you crazy, yet again
