This morning I found, to my happy surprise, that Midwife’s Muse had nominated me for this award. Oooh, I’ve never had one before (not surprising really as my blog is a bizarre mix of subjects – working in the NHS, working as a CAM practitioner, Football, Darts, and Family.) Thank you MW, now I shall [...]

Having gone to the last few matches from Mum’s I’d been leaving my football stuff there rather than taking it home and bringing it back each time. So when I got ready for the game on Sunday, I was horrified to find I’d left my shirt at home! I’d worn it for the derby game [...]
