Mister Dexter
Dear Dexter, Happy First Birthday, my beautiful blue eyed boy. Two years ago, I had just parked my car at work and I had a thought, a premonition about having a son. At that stage we had no plans to have more children but you were determined to be here! You have brought such joy [...]

My day from hell.
I don’t think I have had such a crap day in ages. 1am, woke up with chest pains. I have had these chest pains before, back in May. They couldn’t work out what was wrong with me then, so I didn’t hold much faith in them working out what was wrong this time. I walked [...]
