I love your photo and the words behind it. We always need a soft giraffe to help us get things in perspective ;-)

The Gallery: Me
This is Me. Studious, ambitious, driven, stubborn, and sometimes a little bit silly. Thankfully, there are two of us; I'm working towards a better future for both of us. Thankfully, it isn't just about me anymore. It's about Us. Visit Tara's site for the rest of this week's Gallery entries.
Love it! This theme is so much fun, I'm learning so much about you all

The Gallery - All about Me
Once again time for the weekly gallery photo theme from Tara at Sticky Fingers. This time the theme is "Me". This one took me quite a while to come up with but I love the topic. I struggle with what defines me. I define myself by many external elements. I have given it some thought and this w...
Ha ha what a bunch of plonkers they are eh? Glad you sent them packing.

Blog takeover bids
There are some things that make me chuckle to myself in a slightly innate way, while at the same time leaving me feeling quite annoyed. Let me explain. It would seem that since asking on Monday 'Do I really want to write a blog?', there are plenty of people who are happy to write it for me, for...
Oh Sally, my heart goes out to little 3 year old you and to big girl you. Today must be hard but I'm glad you've found some peace today. Its tough.

Happy Mother's Day
I haven’t seen my mother since I was maybe three years old. I don’t know exactly when that last meeting was. What I remember is she had long brown hair and I must have been waiting for her, because I was at the window, watching her get out of a yellow car. We went to the zoo, and she bought...
Right, in for a penny & all that. I have absolutely no idea how this works but please can I join in?

Hello there, found you by jumping around the blogosphere as we all do & just read this post. Poor you & poor you lovely girl. I'm Catholic too so understand the pressures to conform in such a school. I refused to be confirmed at 13. That went down a storm in the 1980's, hope you get more support than I did. I also have a daughter who is not the "round peg in the round hole" at school so sympathise with your situation. My advice is to trust your gut instinct and remind teachers (especially the young ones) they have their whole careers to learn how to be a good teacher. You have one chance with your daughter to do the right thing. Stand your ground. If things don't improve demand a school referral to the Ed' Psych, its nothing to be ashamed of. Please email me if you'd like more info on procedure or just to chat about having a square peg ;-)

Battling on my child's behalf
IJ goes to a Catholic school, not because of any strong religious beliefs on my part if I'm perfectly honest, but because it is the second best school in the area. The best school in the area is also Catholic. Read into that what you will. She spent the first term of her academic life at the pri...
On the move again.
I have tried to love Typepad but it was doomed. I cannot stand your unfriendly ways so I've gone back to my first blogging love, the mighty Blogger. Sorry, people. Now I'm over here.... So long Typepad, it was short and not very sweet. MD x Continue reading

When will I learn?
Apparently, just writing about my lazy arsed ways on here wasn't enough to shame me into shaping up. Even in the first 24 hours. So, this morning I find myself passing the 8.30-9am period trying to sort out my blog log-ins a.k.a. procrastinating. I have (had) two Google Accounts for ages and they are driving me nuts as you can't really work with two. I had the old one as my account for blogging when I lived in Singapore and the newer one being my email address with Gmail. I didn't want to delete the old one until I'd had... Continue reading
