I rock. No, I do. Magnetoboldtoo told me so! But she didn’t tell me why. That is the bit I have to fit in here.
Um, er well…

I have the abbo fabbo gorgeous hair.
I am a good great mum to two gorgeous kids.
I have the most lovely MIML™ and he rocks as much as me!
I’m surviving [...]

To paraphrase old Bill: That which we call a Corker by any other name would smell as sweet.
When I married I changed my surname. It wasn’t something I really thought about, I just did it! It gave a sense of connection- a family unit as we shared a family name. In the course of moving [...]

Don’t run away! Stay and read. You know you always learn something you really didn’t need to know from all these memes and this is one with a difference, so there! For one, I’m not going to tag you, you are going to ask to participate, and that is more of a directive than anything [...]

We never ‘did’ Mother’s Day as a child. My father’s line was ‘Every day is Mother’s Day.’ We never did Father’s Day either.
For the 5 years I spent battling infertility I avoided Mother’s Day like the plague. Told myself it was over commercial.
Then I became a mother. My mum sent me flowers the first year [...]

I find it hard to believe there are so many random facts about myself! I was white rabbited about a month ago, plus I have published 100 random facts about fifikins, but everyone’s favourite professional geek, Nick Hodge seems to think I can come up with 8 more! And I was told off for not [...]

I started a blog post today and have just deleted it all.
Basically, today is 18 years since my Dad died. He went SCUBA diving on Easter (Holy) Saturday and drowned. I still don’t understand how it happened, but it did. I have now been alive longer without Dad than with him. We had an interesting [...]

I think I must be feeling better- I am thinking about food again!
Just home after 3 nights in hospital. First two days were horrible. Constant pain, prodding and felt like blah. Felt a little better yesterday and feel really quite good today.
Things to remember when in hospital though:

Pack all chargers. Fortunately I had mine with [...]

Well kinda. I’m heading back there. Turns out I have a post op infection and am dehydrated. Just pour the gin straight in I said, but no, they want it via a drip.
I will be booked in under Corker, not Henderson for those sending flowers, telegrams, chocolates etc! (joke peoples!) But I will [...]

Yet another early morning blog post.
When I went for my pre-admission appointment they gave me a brochure on coping with pain after surgery. It goes through different pain management strategies looking at various types of drugs, repositioning of the patient and distraction. I think what I am trying here is a distraction.
I woke up about [...]

If you are reading this then I have obviously survived my operation!
Actually it is 4.30am and I have been awake for over half an hour. Well I did hit the wall at 8 last night and took a strong pain killer to knock me out. Suppose 8 hours sleep is pretty good, even if I [...]
