WORK WITH ME


As a new blogger, it feels a bit like I am prostituting myself with this page! In fact, I feel a little bit dirty!

However, I believe I have a lot to offer to the right people.

In terms of writing experience, I have very little to be honest...other than the fact that I have been an English Teacher for the past 16 years (which may well have destroyed any writing ability I might have had!) and obviously an avid reader as a result of this.

As a mother, I have four children (including 10 year old twins, a 7 year old and a two year old)...and they are all female...God Help Me! So, I have a fair bit of experience in that direction!

I am also a step-mother to two other children...and by God, does that give me some experience!

Finally, I have been my partner's support, legal secretary and solicitor during the numerous Court battles we have fought with his ex-wife...and by God, has that given me experience!

So, what can I offer?! That's a difficult question but if you think I have something I can offer to you, please get in touch at thewickedstepmother1@blogspot.com.

Top Five Tuesday! Five things I wish I had never started!

Five Things I Wish I Had Never Started! (Apart from this Blog!)   Last night, for the first time since Father's Day, I put my youngest daughter to bed and read her favourite story to her. Usually she goes straight off to sleep, but last night she refused point-blank to go off. The reason for this is that, for Father's Day, I bought Prince Charming a personalised book from her that they could read together and this has become THEIR ritual. There was no way that she was going to go to sleep until DADDY had read to her! I must admit that there was a pang of jealousy as they laughed and giggled together, and she fell asleep without a murmur, followed by abject panic when I realised that I was never going to be able to get her to sleep on my own again!   This got me thinking about things that I've done that I wish I had never started. So here are my Top Five!   1. The Bear!   Bear! Bear is the youngest child's most treasured possession which she has h

Top Five Tuesday! Five Things I Have Learned During The School Holidays!

Image
During the School Holidays, I am forced to spend time with my own Munchkins...rather than other people's kids! It is during this time that I learn all kinds of different things that I had never known or realised before...like the fact that (and please don't judge me for this!) I could never be a Stay-At-Home Mum, and that day-time television is simply appalling! I must, however, admit to watching the odd episode of Jeremy Kyle! There is a slightly morbid satisfaction in realising that there are people out there whose lives are far more complicated that ours! Anyway, here I go with my Top Five School Holiday revelations. 1. Youtube Kids This has been a revelation on two completely different levels. Having older Munchkins, I have simply relied on the filters to ensure that the content that they watch is suitable. However, these do not always work...as I have discovered with the Peppa Pig-obsessed two year old. Endless hours of listening to the Peppa Pig theme tu

Selling The Castle

Image
So, yesterday the not-quite-yet-ex-husband informed me that he was planning on selling the house that we had brought together, returned to together after we became man and wife, and the home that we had brought our three children home from the hospital to. It had been valued, he had found a buyer and agreed a sale price. Now, I should probably be mad at the fact that he had not consulted me about any of this (and, in the past, I probably would have been) but, to be honest, I'm not quite sure how I feel at the moment. On one hand, it is a step nearer to closure on our relationship but, on the other hand, I guess I feel at little bit sad that the home our children grew up in will no longer be their home with their father. They adjusted pretty well to their mother living in a different place, which also became their home, probably because they still had the additional security of the home that that they had grown up in. Now, that is going but neither of us are ready to tell them
