Self assessment tax returns arrghh!!
I’ve got myself in a pickle and the deadline is today, although apparently the tax people are on strike today, so won’t get fined. Why is it so difficult? Why don’t people tell you exactly what to do when registering…
Procrastinating …
Hope I’ve spelt the title right. I have a list of things to do today and so far I’ve been to a friends for coffee and eaten a huge lunch which has cancelled out ( probably) the 2 lbs I’ve…

Hi, I am a mum of twin identical girls aged 6 years and two boys aged 13 and 17 years. I live in a small market town called Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.I am really enjoying the challenges of being a mum to twins, however it hasn't been easy and I am still learning how to juggle my four children (not literally) in order to meet their needs as well maintain my own sanity! I am a freelance writer and have written a few short stories and magazine articles, 2 of which are published.

Oh no! dentist today ..
I seem to have developed a fear of the dentist. I’ve had loads of treatment over the years and have been fine, but I had a bit of a traumatic experience at the new NHS dentist in the area 6…
Thankyou!
I really must say a big thankyou to the lady at the checkout at Marks and Spencers today! A little embarassing perhaps, but hey, how often does a 39 year old women get asked for ID to prove her age…
40th Birthday cake!
I forgot to mention the holiday was a 40th birthday present for my husband. I think the cake we had made was so fab, I thought I’d post it on here. He is a drummer in a band.
Another fab trip to Centre Parcs
When I return from a great holiday I’m always left with the feeling of “Did it really happen, or was it a dream?” Is anyone else like that? As soon as I get home I start planning our next holiday.…
