So my last significant birthday post to my baby brother was 10 years ago when he was 40. I was complaining about feeling old and found the ideal solution was to sit next to my mother instead of him. Now she's not here any more and neither is my 100 year old Grandmother. I am now officially the matriarch, which is terrifying!
A very happy 23rd birthday to my youngest and tallest child. He’s come a long way since the early days of my blog. This is a late entry as his birthday was actually back in July, but I’ve been too […]
Happy birthday to my 30 year old son! OMG!! I have a THIRTY YEAR OLD SON!!! Whilst I knew there was no point in looking up what you’re allowed to do once you are 30, because it’s basically everything, I […]
FINALLY we managed a family get-together for my mother now that lockdown has been eased and she’s had her two vaccinations. I went and picked her up and brought her back to my house where she hasn’t been for 18 […]

It was “Visit Your Relatives Day” on Friday and visit my relatives did….loads of them…it was my mother’s birthday on Sunday and so we held a sleepover in her honour on Saturday night at my house along with all three […]
It’s Elvis Presley’s birthday – 8th January and he would have been celebrating his 80th birthday, instead he died at the age of 42. He was always my one…I loved him far more than all the Beatles put together or […]
OK so I’m going to have to embrace this really old state of being that I’ve found myself in (“well what’s the alternative” says my mother in a way I don’t really understand) and try and look at things a […]
I know none of you have missed me – but just in case – SORRY FOR THE LACK OF NEWS….I’ve been busy ALL week celebrating my BIG birthday week (in between working of course). What fun I’ve had. Lots of […]
