Things are tough at the moment. B’s medication was causing horrible side effects which were leading to her needing 20 hours sleep per day. Obviously this isn’t good, even more so because her intrusive thoughts then tell her even more how “bad” she is. Therefore, after speaking to her psychiatrist she stopped her antidepressants and …
We had a great visit from some friends this weekend which made a really nice change. B and I both thought at the end of the day that we should do it more often, even though we were really quite knackered by the end. They are old friends of mine from University. D was on …
After taking a few weeks off work in order to deal with B having a bit of a downturn, I’m currently on a “Phased Return” to work. This means I am only working mornings and am trying to get rest/downtime whenever I can. Fellow parents will appreciate that this is never really easy regardless of …
I managed to get the Limited Edition Lego Present this year that you can see above, featuring ourselves obviously. This year I’ve also again got the Lego City Advent Calendar and I’ve decided to blog each day’s build on the evening of that day. I’m not sure if I’ll add them to this post, or …

I remember as a kid thinking “Wouldn’t it be great to be able to play Sonic the Hedgehog all day!”. Now I have a 4 year old, who also likes to “play” sonic, I’m not all so sure I’d want that wish any more. X: “Can I play Sonic please?” Me: “Of course you can, …
Managed to get away for a cooked breakfast on my own this morning, B was up and about at 9:30 and in a good mood. Does me good to get away and just sit quietly on my own for a while. It’s not necessarily the healthiest way to spend time, doing exercise just didn’t win …
