I am not doing PE with the oh so positive and upbeat Body Coach Joe every morning I can tell you that. I am not going to become one of the smug ones sharing with the world that they worked out with Joe then they worked out with Davina and then they cleaned all of [...]
I was meant to be travelling to Italy this weekend to commentate on the women’s 6 nations match; the last round of this year’s tournament. This is not happening now due to reasons that I probably don’t need to go in to here but I would like to share the biggest impact that this is [...]
Week 30 today. With the pace seemingly picking up and hurtling towards the big 40. 40 weeks pregnant that is plus 40 years of age. Is it vain to want Baby Bear to come early so that I am not 40 when I give birth? I don’t want my baby having a 40-year-old mother. I [...]
This weekend J and me went on a mini break; Bridget Jones would have been proud. We did not drive in to the countryside in a convertible, neither did I pack my Bridget Jones pants. I do own numerous pairs but none of them fit and trying to disguise my now 6 month, very obvious [...]
Since #BabyBear was born at the end of May I have been asked, with about the same regularity and frequency of my macaroni cheese eating, whether I have been to ‘a group’. I have been eating a lot of macaroni cheese. Until last week my reply was always lengthy and somewhat sheepish; trying to think [...]

At 10 weeks post-partum (posh way to describe after childbirth) I am very familiar with the things that they don’t tell you so I will share some more of my wisdom: Constipation and Haemorrhoids. Neither pleasant. Having really big ‘number 2’s’ (sorry there is no intelligent way of describing this) is also, weirdly, a common [...]
My last personal blog was written a whole three months ago so I thought it was about time I picked up the pen again, metaphorically speaking, and give you all an update on #BabyBear and #JeffTheFern. A lot has happened in three months. Firstly, I have lost over two stone. Amazing! And I lost the [...]
So after 9 months of getting acquainted with the idea of #BabyBear (or 9 months to get over my denial) I am now faced with the real thing. And I can tell you with 100% certainty that she is the most gorgeous baby in the whole wide world! Obviously! At 4am during the first morning [...]
So, let’s start with the really shocking news. That apparently Hollywood are making a ‘prequel’ of Grease the musical. Noooooooo. Some things should just be left as they are. There is a reason that Dirty Dancing: Havanna Nights (also an attempt at a prequel of sorts but basically with the same story line) completely ‘bombed’. [...]
