A few months ago I won tickets from a fellow blogger to see Ben & Holly Live! I have been so excited for months as we had never been to a show yet – I think I may have been slightly more excited than J actually… I booked the show for last week and the nearest theatre with a date we could attend was Nottingham at 4pm. With a 1.5 hour journey ahead of us and J finishing nursery and hubby finishing work at 1pm, I had my schedule that we absolutely needed to stick to to keep my anxiety in …

Slimming World weigh in #18 – the one with a surprise loss…
If you read my update from last week you’ll remember I managed to get my 1.5st award, which 18 weeks ago felt like it was totally out of my reach so I was over the moon. I celebrated with going to cake club straight after weigh in (oops). I said at the end of that post that I had plans for the weekend so I was just hoping for the best. On Friday we were at my Mum’s and I was fairly good there, but on Saturday we just had a ‘can’t be bothered’ tea of shop bought pizzas and cheesy garlic …
Slimming World weigh in #17 – the one with *another* award…
Last week after 16 weigh ins, I finally managed to get my Club 10 award after chasing it for weeks! I also wanted my 1.5st award last week but I was one pound away from that so that’s what I was aiming for this week. I had an okay week to start with which slowly went downhill at the weekend as we had a takeaway, but come Monday I had my head back in the game as I wanted that number on the scales, so I was right back on it!
Our first Parenting Pitstop session
I posted last week about how J & I were attending our first ‘Parenting Pitstop‘ session. It was only an hour session this time but the usual ones are one and three-quarter hours long. I was feeling really nervous about leaving him to play even though he was under supervision, but just the fact it was a new setting and I wasn’t there worried me; how he’d act without me there, if he’d get upset, and so on. When it came to it though, he didn’t even notice me leaving! They actually do a countdown so the children are given …
Parenting Pitstop – trying to deal with J’s challenging behaviour
You may have read my previous posts about J’s challenging behaviour and I have been at my wits end for months, fast running out of ideas on how to deal with it. I’ve spoken with nursery, I’ve spoken with the health visitor, I’ve spoken with one of my friends who worked in a nursery for a long time; I’ve consulted the internet, blogs, my peers, but nothing seems to change. So either this is just instilled into him or I am just a rubbish mother! Anyway, a few weeks ago I had quite a breakdown with his behaviour. I was …
