One Born Every Minute starts again on Channel 4 at 9pm this Wednesday 4th January, with the theme of dads. They’ve linked up with NetMums to get people to share their birth experiences and here’s mine with my thoughts on the…
If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know that I was struggling to get agreement to put the christmas tree up…excuses given mainly revolved around “it’s dangerous with a nearly one year old”. Thankfully, after a lot of moaning and hints…
Well, I say 1st birthday preparations, but actually I’ve not started thinking about them, other to agree that our NCT joint 1st birthday party can be held at our house, and to debate whether we need to have a specific…
It’s now less than a month to go before N starts at day nursery as I go back to work then. I had a bit of a panic when I realised I’d not heard anything since sending off my cheque…
