So this week I am over half way through my pregnancy. I am 20 weeks but, I will be induced at 38 weeks (at the latest) so I am over half way-yippee. The 20-week scan is this week and, despite being adamant that we wouldn’t find out the sex of the baby, I admit it,…
All I’ve heard all week is when is the right time to have another child or, have you got two under two? All in response to the lovely news that Kate and William have announced their second pregnancy. As the week has gone on, it’s got me more and more annoyed. My mum always told…

I suppose Woolworths was one of the first big names in the British retail industry to go and a large number of others have followed. These big high street names just can’t compete with online shopping and, the ever-encroaching…
We lived in a terraced house when my daughter was born. We did buy a baby monitor but to be honest, we didn’t really need one. When she was really young, she was with us anyway and when she was older, our dog would run up and down stairs when she awoke. We moved to…
