https://adoptingeachother.wordpress.com/2016/04/28/fake-mummy
A blog about the joys and challenges of being an adoptive family. April 28, 2016. April 28, 2016. I listened with interest to a Radio 4 programme this week highlighting ‘ imposter. Experienced by certain artists and it got me thinking…. You see I remember the time well when, after adopting our beautiful son, I would worry that the ‘Fraud Police’. Would out me as a. 8216;Fake Mummy’. I wonder if you have ever felt the same…. He wanted or needed. When was his last tetanus injection? I’ve never had a ...

Midlife Singlemum: I'm The Christmas Cinderella
http://midlifesinglemum.blogspot.com/2011/12/christmas-cinderella.html
Wednesday, December 14, 2011. I'm The Christmas Cinderella. After lunch we would play pontoon (21) with about eight people sitting round the table each with a pile of matchsticks to wager with. Did I mention that in the morning we were always invited round to our nextdoor neighbours for Christmas drinks and to see their amazing tree? The real meaning of Hanuka? Usual joke: they tried to kill us, we won, let's eat. December 14, 2011 at 10:56 PM. December 14, 2011 at 11:24 PM. December 14, 2011 at 11:28 PM.

Living on the edge of the world: Hunger
http://livingworldsedge.blogspot.com/2016/12/hunger-my-first-week-in-home.html
Friday, 23 December 2016. My first week in the Home. A medical is what the young nurse says. No choice. I can remember the nurse weighing me. Just a point on a chart. My point so low. 8220;You must eat more” the nurse said – like an echo of what she said to Eve. Eat more? Sometimes, in my former world, to eat at all was just a hope. A hope that perhaps this weekend I would have a breakfast, lunch and tea. “No lunch for you, you wicked girl and no tea for answering back.”. No chance for Ella! It's all gon...

Fashion & Style. Health & Beauty. About The Barefaced Chic. August 16, 2015. Iwillwearwhatilike – Breaking All The ‘Rules’ And Loving Every Minute. The internet is littered with articles (and the use of the word. Is intentional as the vast majority of them are junk), written by ‘experts’ who seem to have figured out all the answers for what is. God, I hate that word) attire for your age, size, body shape, hair colour, eye colour, inside leg measurement and even your star sign. It started with a hashtag.

Suddenly Mummy: June 2015
http://suddenlymummy.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. I haven't been blogging much recently. This is mainly due to the arrival of Twinkle who, while lovely in many ways, brings our family to a level of 'interesting' that means that there isn't much time or brain space left over for other things! Twinkle is the 7th child I've fostered, but she is the first girl I've had who wasn't a tiny baby. I have discovered that in some ways, little girls really are different from little boys. It's been quite the steep learning curve:. Up to this...

Things that were broken - Sally Donovan
http://www.sallydonovan.co.uk/2016/05/15/things-that-were-broken
Things that were broken. The outbreak of peace in our house continues. It’s brilliant. That’s the thing, when life has been so relentlessly crap for so long, it just needs to be less crap for a few weeks and everything is a complete joy. Living in a state of near hysterical joy (for one never knows when it will end) means that things get done as there is at last time and head space to tackle Mount Must Do. On the Must Do list for this week was:. FIX LAWNMOWER: broken for six months, state of lawn = dire.

Living on the edge of the world: April 2016
http://livingworldsedge.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 29 April 2016. Cats - but not the famous musical! In December 2014 I wrote. Regular readers will know the story of our two refuge cats Romulus and Remus. They did everything together and it was somehow fitting that fate had brought them into our lives. So it is with great sadness I have to tell your all that Romulus died of old-age last Thursday and that Remus was put to sleep by the vet this morning. At the moment the cats' bed is still where it has always been. Perhaps at the weekend we wil...

Thursday, 27 August 2015. Children in Care and their memory gaps. It was while she was pregnant that Ella started to get concerned about a small, highly specific, memory loss. In the end she went to the doctor with a list of questions. Is it normal to have gaps in your memory? The time from being taken away from Mr Nut Job to meeting Eve in the Home is very bitty in my head. Eve calls it a jigsaw puzzle with pieces missing! Lots of questions, some that I didn't understand. The doctor wasn’t much he...
