April was an exciting month for us. We had baby dottie’s first birthday, her first Easter, L starting preschool, and we went on a lovely family outing to Pirate’s Quest in Newquay. I really like writing this type of diary post, as it will be a wonderful memory to look…
I know I say it every month, but I can’t believe another one is over. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed March. We have done quite a lot this month. It’s helped that I’ve had most of it off work due to all the outstanding holiday I accrued during my maternity leave that…
I ended January with redundancy hanging over my head, which you may have read about in last months roundup post. February brought news that in my area it’s not happening and remaining unchanged, although work colleagues in the other immediate areas are still facing this. I truly feel gutted for…
