Hello everyone,
I’m so pleased to have been asked to contribute to this blog.
I’m a single Mum to a twelve year old (almost thirteen actually Mum!) diva princess, and an 8 year old WWF Wrestling Champion so as you can imagine, life gets a little lairy sometimes!
I’ve written creatively for a good few years now and subjects include anything from irreverent observations on everyday life to a bit of silly poetry, which I hope won’t mind me sharing with you from time to time.
As I’m careering towards age forty without the aid of brakes or a safety net, then some of the observations will be made with that in mind. I will warn you however that I have a sense of the ridiculous and this may come to the fore now and again!
I’d like to share with you a poem I had published in the Daily Mail earlier this year. Out of the list of things to do within that poem, I’ve managed the nose piercing – the task of bedding of the whole of Take That is currently being pursued!

Mid Life Crisis
I think I might be having a crisis
A mid-life crisis at that
I’ve developed an overwhelming desire
To bed all the guys in Take That.
I want a tattoo on my shoulder
My kids’ names inked in hearts and swirls
My nose pierced with a single diamond
To sparkle when I go out with the girls.
I need an I-pod, a lap-top and a boom-box
A credit card with no charge to me!
And I hear that sat-nav comes as standard
In a brand new silver Audi TT.
I need over-the-knee boots and a hand-bag
From Dolce Gabanna , no less.
The waiting list for the new Nintendo DS
Has been causing me no END of stress
I think I might be having an epiphany
A dawning that something’s not right
When you’re my age you’re supposed to know better
Than to hang around on street corners at night
But the Nike trainers are great on me bunions
And my hoody top keeps out the chills
I’ve been down to the shops on my skateboard
Hey I know how to get my cheap thrills.
Don’t ‘diss’ me man, I’m still growin' up
I’m still allowed to be a little bit naughty
I’ve got a whole five months worth of playing to do
Until I reach adulthood at forty!
