I have always had issues with my weight going way back to primary school. I still remember being pushed over in the playground for being 'fat' or being teased because i wore a bra before anyone else (?)





Things didn't get much better in high school where I was branded as 'fat' again. I used to get teased by the boys more than the girls, cheap jokes about me being 'huge' or ' I wonder if that chair could take her weight' etc. I remember wearing a skirt one day and two girls… Continue

To celebrate mamma po's poo carnival I decided to post a very favourite poo story of my own (not my own poo of course!) This story will be told to 3year old when shes 16 and her first boyfriend comes round.

For those who don't know what these are, they are 10days which you can go back to work for (fully paid) and still stay on your maternity leave.

Anyhoo, I worked Wednesday night… Continue
