Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go
Back to work on Monday. I should have said I would come back on a Friday. It would have given me more time to get used to the idea. Work one day, two days off. I could live with that kind of arrangement ( Read more... ) -
It's been a while
It is 10.22am on Tuesday morning and my baby girl has just dropped off to sleep in the room next door. I always promise myself that I will do something worthwhile with the "free time" she allows me but here I am again, whittling away time aimlessly ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year
Could it get any better? Ringing in the new year with a reformed Take That! Yummy yummy. How uncool am I?
Here is to a year of things that make us happy.

Ah, it is just like being in love, only better. Well, my mother-in-law arrived on Saturday and to be honest, it is fantastic to have her here. She has been really helpful ( Read more... ) -

It has been a long time...and thats no lie
Wow. I am not sure I should even ressurect this journal. What to write about? Where to begin? The last time I posted, I was three months pregnant and my biggest worry was getting fat. Now I have a five week old beautiful baby daughter and have so many worries I don't know where to begin. That is not true, really. Having a baby has turned my ( Read more... ) -
One last secret
I will be three months pregnant at Easter. I don't really know what to say except I am happy and scared at the same time. I have lots of real fears - some valid some shallow (are the shallow ones equally valid, I wonder?). But overall I am excited, excited, excited. And getting FAT, FAT, FAT. -
Five little secrets
1. I have a soft spot for WWE. Yes, I know it is fake but it is like a completely overblown soap opera (minus shoulder pads) featuring men in costumes more suited to women, which strikes me a odd but funny ( Read more... ) -
Sitting here
It has been so long since I updated my journal. I feel like an lj failure. The good thing about my journal is that nobody else reads it so I have nobody to answer to except myself - my own worst critic ( Read more... )
