When you’re feeling depressed… …do you feel paranoid, like everything everybody says to is out to hurt you, even though they’re only joking (you hope)? When you’re feeling depressed… …do you just wish the world would stop turning, go away, leave you alone, you just want to be on your own? When you’re feeling depressed… …do you just want to go to sleep, hide away, and wake up when it’s all over, when you feel better? When you’re feeling depressed… …do you start to hate everyone around you, snap at even the tiniest little thing, and then realise it’s not …
What’s in a name?
What is in a name? Since before we even found out I was pregnant, we always had our girls name chosen – though a friend has since named their baby girl with the same first name so we will have to rethink if we ever have a girl, though I absolutely love it so we may have to keep it as a middle name!

Weight loss journey
It’s been ages since I made an update on my weight loss – in fact I think it was a year ago, after little man arrived! I have been keeping up with it though; well, on & off.

The town on which the new mini series airing on Channel 4, ‘Skint’, is based. Not only am I from that town, I’m also from the estate that the majority of it was filmed on. So basically, I was both excited to watch it, and dreading it, as from the previews I had a horrible feeling about how it was …
Girl or boy – does it matter?
I know this is a subject that everybody has mixed opinions on – but with my still grieving from my miscarriage, and what we went through to get little man, I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately. Does it matter what the gender of your baby is? Since I can remember, I’ve seen people on their subsequent pregnancies, discussing what they would like the gender of this baby to be. When I discovered I was pregnant with little man, I had no urge for a particular gender, I was just absolutely ecstatic that we finally had our dream come …
