I haven’t been very well lately – I’m one of those delicate snowflakes who doesn’t react well to stress in the slightest, and I’ve alluded here and there that life has been quite difficult for us recently but not really elaborated. In short, the position we found ourselves in back in November has escalated and I have had no maternity pay since the end of September whilst being told I must repay the monies I have been paid. It’s… been difficult really. Add to this the general day to day drama of parenting four energetic, charismatic and strong-willed children and it’s no real surprise that something would give. Unfortunately the something was me and I have had to finally accept that I cannot do everything.
Luckily for me my awesome sister Stephanie has been on hand to look out for me and has kept me supplied with tea, coffee and company. She’s been super with her support during this horrendous time and I can’t thank her enough.
Steph – you’re the best sister a girl could ask for and I love you x

Hi Vonnie – my thoughts are with you during this difficult time! The Latin phrase is something like … noli illigitari carborundum …. don’t let the b******s grind you down!! I hope you get it all resolved. Take care of yourself – love,Anne
I’m glad you have her to look after you. Sisters are lovely things!
