• Could You Repeat That Please……..

  My daughter does not have ADD or ADHD.…say what…? This morning I went off to meet the psychologist for the feedback session on my daughter’s assessment. For those of you who didn’t read the looong saga that went before – Her teacher and principal said she was ‘out of control’ and showing signs of ADD […]

• The Diva and The Ritalin Pushers (2)

  I woke up a few minutes ago from an awful nightmare. I had caught a train and discovered I was going the wrong way and the station I had to get off on was populated by hundreds of frightening people lighting fires and lurking around in the smoke. The dream then changed to living in […]

• The Attack of The Demon Hobbit (final)

  My daughter’s continued fear was the impetus that sent me off to pray. My prayers went something like this: ‘Divine Mother ‘(I had decided feminine energy was warranted) ‘I want The Hobbit to die.

• The Attack of The Demon Hobbit (2)

  So many things came to light after the Attack of the Demon Hobbit. It turns out that my daughter had seen him crushing yellow tablets between 2 spoons on the large deep-freeze that stood in the kitchen – and that had been 2 or 3 months before the incident!

I had changed the locks and studiously avoided the front entrance where he sat in […]

• Be Free Dodgy Barman!

  It is often said that the people you struggle most with, quite often become your best teachers, and It’s true, but what is equally true is that it’s also code for: ‘You miserable bastard you nearly destroyed me, but I’m stronger now!’ That in many ways describes my earliest relationship with The Diva’s dad. That […]
