Death of my mum

Well I haven't posted for such a long time and so much has been happening and has happened. My time over the past few months has been split between work, my mum and my partner. At the end of last month I was forced to take special leave and rearrange my annual leave and maternity leave to rush up to be with my mum. I had been faxed a letter at work that put everything into perspective, mum had weeks rather than months to live. This from the doctors at Priscilla Bacon Lodge, Colmans Hospital... Read Full Story
Old friends

It's funny, over the past few years I would look every so often for my friends from home on the internet, never finding them and finally giving up on looking. Now over the past month so many of them have turned up on facebook, that I now have more non-work friends on there than work friends. Previously my facebook account was just a way to keep in touch with my friends from work. I've found that finding everyone shows how much we all move on; I mean there are people now that I grew up with... Read Full Story
Late night ramble

Well I haven't handed in my notice, stupid as it sounds I don't have enough money to move out so another month will go by with my things in one place and me in another, paying rent for somewhere that I don't live. I'm in this situation because I won't ask him for help and I have to help my mum. Life is *%$* sometimes. Tonight I find myself alone at 1:45am as he's gone to do a spot check on the night staff, see how tight my Trust is. Mind I'm laughing as my ward is as good as gold, none of... Read Full Story
Happiness overcast

I fell asleep last night thinking how lucky I was yet at the same time I silently cried myself to sleep. It's difficult to be happy when there is a big shadow looming over that happiness. This past weekend it was decided that I would hand my notice in on my flat within the next month and officially move in with the father of my baby, we spoke about the babies room (it's currently blue) and that it could be left blue if we have a girl it would just need lots of girly accessories added. We did... Read Full Story
Age and relationships

I was told when I first got with my new fella that "he's an old man, why would an old man want to be with a young woman like you?" this from my ex without him know that there was only 5 years difference between them. Today I was left thinking about how my mother felt when I was 14 years old seeing someone who was 7 years older than me, well there's obvious reasons there anyway. Something came up about a 21 year old with a 40 year old, I wondered how I would feel about my daughter at 21... Read Full Story

This past few weeks I realise how very lucky I am, a week ago Wednesday my mum was diagnosed with lung cancer having had a full mastectomy last year to remove a lump and a second operation a couple of months later to remove a second lump in the same place. Also going through both Chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Since hearing the news I have been distraught and depressed, something she tells me will make my baby come out crying for now reason all the time, yes her sense of humour is still... Read Full Story
New home for my dog

What do you do when you have a pet and you know that pet won't be able to handle life with a baby? That is the problem I face, at the moment my dog Bouncer is staying at my mums, he's been there since last year when I split with my ex and was forced to move into the nurses home next to work. He has since I got him been my baby, so maybe the problem I face is my own fault. Now I find myself pregnant and I know Bounce will get jealous, and more than that he is unpredictable at the best of... Read Full Story

This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph.

Forced Marriages

This deserves a more detailed post, at the moment though I just want to make a short post that I will come back to at a later date. Before college this morning I heard that over 2000 children were missing from school registers in the UK, the government is looking into these missing children and suspect they have been shipped off abroad and into forced marriages. This morning there was a young lady who had been in this exact predicament herself, she spoke about children as young as 10 years... Read Full Story
