Boo!-Tastic Halloween Party
September 28, 2014 By
Did someone say Halloween Party? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It is the one time that no matter how old you are you can still dress up and play pretend. You can be whoever or whatever you want to be. Halloween used to mean dressing up in my … [Read more...]
Back to School
September 1, 2014 By
Summer seems so fleeting because all of a sudden, in a blink of an eye, autumn is almost here and going back to school is just around the corner. There is always something special about a new school year. Growing up, the first day of school felt … [Read more...]
Bingo Lingo
August 6, 2014 By
So where would one go these days if you wanted to nip out with friends and play Bingo? Nowadays I'm told a whopping 3.8 million of us enjoy playing bingo both in halls, but, more increasingly, on-line, too. As a child I can remember popping to the … [Read more...]
Marriage, Sex, Kids
June 19, 2014 By
Before the children came into our lives, my husband and I had a pretty wonderful, active sex life. As newlyweds we couldn’t keep our hands off of each other but like every married couple typically goes through when you are married for a while, the … [Read more...]
Mother *@$%!@$
June 2, 2014 By
I had thought I had left the world of snobby cliques and judgmental females behind me when I became a mother. I truly believed that the craziness of motherhood could only band a group of women closer together and there would be nothing but support for one … [Read more...]
Into the Lions Den
May 12, 2014 By
Today I woke up with a burst of courage. This happens rarely, maybe twice a year, but when it does it’s a fantastic feeling. My energy and mood is so contagious that even my kids know something is different about today. This bit of courage gives me the … [Read more...]
Day’s like these…
January 7, 2014 By
Yesterday was just horrific - I wanted to lock myself in the bathroom and climb out of the window except two pregnancies, not enough exercise, and one to many rockdonalds and my backside is just far too wide. It was as if the rain outside had morphed my … [Read more...]
The Tooth of The Matter
June 10, 2013 By
I am feeling pretty pleased with myself. In fact, I am tempted to do a few victory laps around my kitchen. I won't though. It's tiny... Besides, if I gave into that sort of behaviour, there could be regular bouts of inappropriate public displays. … [Read more...]
The Right Medicine
May 15, 2013 By
It is amazing to watch people begin something new. I always envy people who do it, and feel inspired by their stories. And when it comes to completely changing your career - a move from IT to Oriental Medicine is about as drastic as it gets. What does it … [Read more...]
To me – To you
April 15, 2013 By
The house is falling apart. There have been problems since we moved in back in August, but in the last couple of weeks, things seem to be collapsing in front of my eyes. My husband has been convinced that we need to leave since September (when the … [Read more...]
App-solutely Addicted
March 17, 2013 By
A couple of weeks ago, the daily business of the DiaryOf household ground to a sudden halt. My housekeeping skills have never been the best, I confess, (more of a lick and a promise type than a proper scrubber), but this time I really let the place go. … [Read more...]
Haircut 100!
February 18, 2013 By
I have new hair. My long flowing locks (really a straggly outgrown bob) have been shorn, and I am sporting an up to the minute short cut. It was a proud moment. The path to a successful hairdo has not been a smooth one for me. First of all, I … [Read more...]
Life is a Dream
February 4, 2013 By
It has been a crazy few weeks for the DiaryOf Family. On top of the usual Christmas shenanigans, we have had all manner of things which have conspired to take me to the edge of sanity. Like most families at this time of year, we were all sick at various … [Read more...]
All of a Twitter
January 5, 2013 By
I have a confession to make. I am afraid of Twitter. There, I've said it, it's out in the open, so in theory I should be well on the road to recovery and to developing a normal functioning ability to tweet. I hope. You see, I am the type of person who … [Read more...]
A Greenwich Affair, the new Diary Of Blog on Greenwichmums!
December 4, 2012 By
Since I first put my toe down in this little corner of South East London back in 2000, I have known it was for me. Not that I stayed... Like the best on-again off-again romances, I have left Greenwich, thrown big goodbye parties and uttered grand … [Read more...]
