I shop a lot. Even though most of it is window shopping. I can trawl through racks of clothes for hours and hours, even if I have no intention of buying anything. I just like to check out all the amazing things I can’t have. A bit like real life …

In three months we’re leaving London for Sydney. I can’t believe the big move has come around so quickly and the thought of it fills me with fear, anxiety, sadness and worry. I was a totally different person when we left Australia in early 2007. I was broken, confused, damaged …
Yesterday afternoon I walked into our bedroom to find Rob had left his wet towel from that morning on the bed. On MY side of the bed. And because I hadn’t made the bed yet it was right on top of the sheet where I sleep. Sometimes I think he …
In a couple of weeks I’m doing my first half marathon. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t shitting myself a bit. I’ve done the hard work and think I’m as prepared as I can be, but there’s still a little niggling of self-doubt. It seems like only yesterday …

As I was writing my blog yesterday about our romantic getaway, I remembered something that happened to me a few years ago, one of those embarrassing moments that you like to forget and pretend didn’t happen. I’m good at doing that because I’m fairly excellent at making a complete dick …

We’ve just spent a week at the Lake District. I’d love to report that it was a fun-filled, stress-free and relaxing seven days away but I’d be a big fat liar if I did. It’s about a four and a half hour drive from our place in London. So add …
We survived another Easter holiday. We chose to stay in England this year because quite frankly the whole airport and flight thing with so many kids is enough to tip me over the edge. We have done an enormous amount of travel in the time we’ve lived in the UK …
Yesterday I was at Waitrose. For my non-UK readers, Waitrose is a posh supermarket that charges about 5% extra than anyone else because their stores look pretty. I can’t see any other difference really, their produce and products are much the same as all the other major supermarkets except for …
I am a shouty Mum. I really hate writing that because it’s one of the things I don’t like about myself. I like to think I’m quite self-aware, I’m pretty clear about my character flaws and shouting at my kids is one of them. Parenting does that to you, it …
