Feeling like an Infertility Fraud
I was the woman you hear about; you know the one, your hairdressers' best friend’s cousin, who had struggled for years to get pregnant but it magically happened as soon as she stopped trying. It was totally because she relaxed, she wasn’t consumed with every cycle; as a couple they had sex more and just … Continue reading Feeling like an Infertility Fraud
We got pregnant: our road from infertility to pregnancy
I have always known that I have fertility issues. Being told at 17 that I would, more than likely, struggle to conceive, felt weird to me at the time. I never paused for thought when I was told. I was offered further investigations to confirm but at 17 I had spent enough time having tests … Continue reading We got pregnant: our road from infertility to pregnancy
Twenty-One Months later
How many times can you write your intentions and not continue? Perhaps as many times as it takes until your intentions become your next move, and the one after that. Twenty-One months ago we were two months into a national lockdown, which I wrote at the time 'may be referred to by future generations as … Continue reading Twenty-One Months later
Her Intentions – Where is HerStuff today?

The Renovation-The Building Bit
When we started house hunting the running joke was that I wanted one big f**k off room. Well when we found our house, which you can read about here, it was not immediately obvious that I would get the big f**k off room but within days of the offer being accepted the plans for the … Continue reading The Renovation-The Building Bit
Paris: According to Us.
Christmas Day 2018 I was surprised by Mr P with a boarding pass for a flight from Manchester to Paris on April 1st 2019. I cried, not because the boarding pass couldn't possibly be real, because for the second year in the row we had made the decision we were not doing Christmas presents; for … Continue reading Paris: According to Us.
Daisy Jones & The Six
by Taylor Jenkins Reid This brilliant book is ridiculously cool. Being a New York Times bestseller is always a good start. It had me dreaming of long hair, bare feet and dancing, whilst singing Tiny Dancer. Whenever I have been to see live music there has been that one girl singing and dancing with a tambourine or Cabasa, that everybody can't take … Continue reading Daisy Jones & The Six

We made the … Continue reading Finding The Future
