I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going swimming at lunchtimes to try and get fit, and get back into some semblance of healthy living. Well, the swimming’s going well (also looking healthier thanks to the outdoor pool and building…
So, swimming. I think, after having 2 to 3 weeks of dubious attitude, behaviour and lack of attempt to show any interest in what he should be doing, that we’ve hit a swimming learning plateau. That depressing phase where young…
We’re not been having particularly successful swimming lessons the last couple of weeks. N’s happy enough to go swimming (once I’ve told him that he has to go swimming or he’ll not get to go out on the farm!), and…
I have to admit, if N’s efforts at his last 2 swimming lessons are anything to go by, he’s going to be hard work to encourage come school work. It’s great when your child loves swimming and being in the…
Most people lose their baby weight fairly easily. Others, like me, can’t get motivated for long enough and even worse, end up putting (a lot) more on. Disgraceful really, when I’ve lost weight before with no problems, so I really need to stop…

At the moment, we’re not really that impacted by school holidays, although N’s nursery school is only term time. I tend to put him into his day nursery for the additional days so week days things generally carry on as…
According to my former sales director, a risk taker will happily go on roller coasters, while someone who’s risk averse, won’t. I’m not sure how true that is, but given he had me down as risk averse (probably true as…
I couldn’t believe it this week at swimming. It was really emotional, and it didn’t even involve my child. Well, of course he was there but for us it was just another swimming lesson. It was ‘breathing’ week this week,…
Bizarrely, our swimming terms don’t always fit with the school terms so it really confuses me. Especially when they run into each other like last and this term did. We had to miss the first week because we were away…
