Doing a 10k to raise money for Cancer Research on Saturday. My family has been hit pretty hard by cancer, including my dad passing away 9 years ago. My aunt is currently fighting incurable leukaemia. If you could spare a couple of quid, I'd be grateful fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/faye-hi...

Thanks for looking at my page. Those of you who know me will know that cancer has rocked my family a number of times my life, with people that are close to me bravely facing it again right now. A dona...

Applied for transport for son to secondary school. Got accepted. Council confirmed with provider name and said they'd let us know what time he'd be picked up. Silence. Called today. Council sent us the wrong provider details, sent provider the wrong start date, and are blaming a "faulty mail merge"

Turned 40 recently. Immediately slammed with tennis elbow, new wrinkles have formed overnight and now my favourite jewellery shop is closing for good. I now see why old people think everything is shit.

Impending disaster movie based on my life: dropping the kids off at school in a white t-shirt and no bra, and it's just started to rain heavily...

Playing 007 First Light, and saying "I AM James Bond" in the style of Jeremy from Peep Show roughly every 15 seconds still hasn't got old yet.

Just got asked why I'm so hateful by my son because I wouldn't let him have four biscuits as a snack. I believe the UN will be issuing sanctions on me shortly.

I don't swear in front of my kids, and I have never said this phrase in my life, but I dropped something yesterday and my youngest exclaimed "Shit in my hand!", so that's going to be a fascinating trail to figure out where any of that came from.

As someone about to send a child to a non-mainstream specialist school and apply for transport as part of it, it's genuinely terrifying to see how many councils are turning Reform, and wondering how many children will be left behind or denied.

Neighbour decided to start a conversation with my husband by saying, "I notice your wife's had a breast reduction!", which is an interesting way of announcing you've been staring at their wife's tits.

Everyone get ready: son has a new cooking-through-history homework, and this time it's WW2 rationing. Timely. Already had a go at mashed potato biscuits and carrot cookies. Historic cookery is my jam (Chutney? Pickle? Spiced mince?)

Carrot cookies - orange- coloured, rock-cake-like creations on a wire rack, cooling. Flavoured with vanilla essence or orange essence. Chewy, but pleasant!

Round mashed potato biscuits cooling on a wire rack. Made with mashed potato to lessen the amount of flour used, they're cheesy and black pepper-y and actually really, really good!

Son: We get to name the table we sit at around school! Me: So what did you lot call yours? Son: Kim Milkinson and His Milky Minions *pause* Son: I wanted to call it 'Fartbags' but it got denied.

Picked up a pair of white, wide-leg palazzo trousers, figuring I'd look stylish and summery and Italian. Verdict: less Sophia Loren, more Berlusconi.

How it started: Son got dressed for school all by himself! Pride! Independence! Winning! How it's going: call from school to say son went to take his PE hoodie off and realised he forgot to put a t-shirt on.

Trying to watch the ice hockey final whilst my daughter insists on playing shops is giving me a new appreciation for the film Clerks.

Operating on a stress level somewhere north of "immediate heart attack" as my daughter hasn't been coping at school for the last month and everywhere I'm trying to get support from has essentially shuttered services due to lack of funding.

I've tried the SAD lamps. I've done exercise. I got a new hobby. I took my vitamins. Nothing. Think it's gonna have to be the ol' rioting next for me.

Am on the sixth week of a six week home exercise training programme, and I'm delighted to announce that it's completely turbocharged my stamina for loud, incomprehensible swearing.

Daughter has started making up her own songs and doing jazz hands to indicate when the song's finished. I imagine this is what it was like to live with Shirley Bassey.

Just watched the youngest's Nativity. Absolute highlight: narrator with the strongest Yorkshire accent declaring wearily: "CHRIIIIIIIIIST... (deep sigh)... t'King were born today."

A TEENAGE GIRL JUST SAID SHE LIKED MY HALLOWEEN OUTFIT. I WIN HALLOWEEN FOR THE YEAR. SORRY, GEN Z, I AM THE COOL ONE NOW.

Because I am absolutely, totally not extra, Halloween this year involved me cooking a massive banquet of spooky food, decorating the dining room and becoming a witch (in costume, but hopefully not personality). It took THREE DAYS to make everything. I regret nothing.

Kids have just had their school photo. Checked it online. Their siblings photo has managed to capture the exact energy of the disgraced former politician and his long-suffering but faithful wife. I'm buying 12.

A friend bought my daughter some Sea Monkeys for her birthday. On Friday we had 10 tiny white dots whizzing around the tank! Today, we have one, noticeably much larger, sea monkey. I think we can all draw our own conclusions about what happened here.

Accidentally chucked away some food colouring I'd ordered specially for a cake I'm making, and I'm quite short, so I had to lay the wheelie bin down on its side and crawl into it on the hottest day of the year like a freegan hobbit 10/10 experience no notes 😫

When my dentist said I was "night grinding", it sounded a lot sexier than the reality...

How it's going: went to spray some dry shampoo on hair without looking at the bottle properly, ended up deodorising it. Now hair smells like my armpits, which is disconcerting.

Writing sex scenes for the over-35s: It's bed time. I sultrily pump my asthma inhaler twice, sexily wet my eyes to prevent blepharitis flare-up and sensually slip in my anti-jaw pain mouthguard. As I slip between the sheets, my back spasms momentarily.

It will be -5 overnight. I am heading to bed with a 10.5 tog duvet, blanket and hot water bottle. Husband is equipped with summer duvet, no pyjamas and an insistence that the radiator not go on lest he be too hot to sleep. Pretty sure he is science's newest source of energy production.

Youngest has come downstairs in a princess dress, announced "THE ROYAL IS HERE!!!" and is now (unsuccessfully) trying to convince the oldest to be her horsey. I feared the kids might be too middle class, but I overlooked their levels of nobility.

Doing the annual Christmas tree bag shuffle. How did we get it in before? We don't know. Did we use some kind of portal device? Quite possibly. Will physics be kind to us now? Definitely not.
