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...

Please Kemi, tell me again how much easier it is to have children with diagnosed SEN needs in schools. A fucking doddle.

Meanwhile primary school's SENCo has decided to change daughter's staff two days before start of school, despite daughter having extreme anxiety regarding staff changes and RSD.

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!

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.

Oh, and whilst I'm at it, 'support' does not mean saying "have you tried a weighted blanket?" in various levels of condescension.

Coupled with this new mysterious SEND bill being proposed, I'm wondering what the fuck the government's plans are when SEN parents drown. We are not superhuman; most of us have additional needs too. Help us to help our kids.

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.

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.

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.

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 😫

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.
