Physiotherapy update

April 26, 2012

On Tuesday we took both kids up to Alder Hay children’s hospital for the geekdaughter’s physiotherapy appointment. This was her first session following on from our consultants appointment where we were very pleased to learn that she isn’t showing any sign of Rheumatoid arthritis. We were told at the time that the pains she is [...]

A revelation at BlogCamp

April 25, 2012

Last weekend approximately 120 bloggers descended on the centre of Birmingham for the first of this season’s blogging conferences – BlogCampUK. I had been to a previous BlogCamp event in Manchester last year, so I was hoping for something very much along the same lines but a bit bigger, and I have to say I [...]

April 23, 2012

I am sitting here at my desk, it’s Sunday evening and I’m trying to come up with a meal plan for next week. It’s not going very well – I’m tired and struggling to concentrate. I was awake at 5:15 this morning, and I mean really awake. I have no idea why – I didn’t [...]

Fizzy-O-Therapist

April 17, 2012

It was a great relief to hear the news at our recent consultant’s appointment that the geekdaughter is showing no signs of having Rheumatoid Arthritis, and that her night wakings are simply “growing pains”, or more correctly “hypermobility pains”. She’s still waking up in the night, but the geekdaddy and I are getting a lot [...]

Meal Planning Monday 16/04/2012

April 16, 2012

It was the Sandbach farmer’s market on Saturday, and for once I managed to drag the geekdaddy along with me and the kids. This was good in one respect, because it meant I could share the child-wrangling and thus could pay a little bit more attention to the produce that usual. This did unfortunately (or [...]

Do you still like what I’m doing?

April 15, 2012

About a year ago I asked you the question “do you like what I’m doing?“, and it was the start of a real rollercoaster ride for me. I had no idea when I asked for your nominations for a MAD Blog Award last year that I would actually end up winning it! Winning the award for [...]

I had a great day yesterday – the geekdaddy and I had a rare day out together without the kids, and we went to the Gadget Show Live at the NEC. It’s a huge exhibition of every kind of gadget and gizmo you could imagine under the sun, and we spent the whole day wandering [...]
