Lilly's favourite books • Aged four

-

Me and Lilly have a few minute's together every night to read a bedtime tale and every night I get her to pick her book. As she seems to pick some of the same ones often I wanted to share her favourite books with you.


Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

We both love anything to do with the authors/illustrators of the book but Monkey Puzzle seems to be the one she turns to at the moment.

Monkey Puzzle is a story about a lost monkey and a butterfly who is trying to help. It is a rhyming story which helps children learn about animals through size, colour and characteristics.

The Dinosaur that pooped a lot by Dougie Poynter and Tom Fletcher

This is one of my favourites too, the story was part of last year's 'World Book Day' so was only £1 when we got it. 

The story is about a boy and his dinosaur travelling through time and space but unsure how to get home, we find out how at the end. The story obviously contains the word Poo and pretty much every chold seems to find this word funny. Again this story is one that Rhymes.

Olaf fun file

We couldn't forget her Frozen book, as you may well know Lilly is obsessed with Frozen and she loves all the books that we have to do with the brand, but I think this one is her favourite.

This story tells of Olaf enjoying a HOT summers day. At the end of the story there is a little fact file which you can fill put together. It asks about favourite things, has a couple of games and some facts from the franchise.

These three books I basically know off by heart but I absolutely love story time every night snuggles up together.

    Fab picks, Lilly! I cannot wait until my nephew is old enough to read, there's so many books I'd love to get him, especially the Tom Fletcher ones. Will you be getting his latest one - the Christmasaurus?

BHP Show 2016 • Lydden Hill

-

The last time I visited the BHP show I was pregnant with Lil's and it was only a one day event. This year I got to take my baby back to see it for herself and enjoy two days there instead, including a COLD night of camping.  The BHP show is (I believe) a yearly event which takes place at Lydden Hill Race Circuit. This is about 1 hour and a half drive from our house so not too far for us to go, Lilly was as good as gold travelling both there and back, but then again she slept the whole way back.  The show wasn't as good as back in 2012 due to the lack of demo's but the Drift Allstars team were amazing and made Lilly scream with joy after a silly 5 minutes of being scared.  On the Sunday we took a look around the pits, that's a big reason why we like Lydden hill is because of the open pits. There were so many nice cars both drift cars and track day cars too. Lilly was very excited especially aboutt the purple one pictured below.  There was a gia...

Abnormal cells • Smear test • My treatment

-

Following in from my The importance of a smear test  I wanted to share what happened next. I believe this is also as inportant as the first part and the more unknown. I recieved a letter about two weeks after my smear saying that I had borderline cell changes and that I would be booked in for a colposcopy. This was horrible, the worst kept going through my mind, the C word.  I then waited a further week for an appointment for the clinic which was 3 weeks wait again, this also made me a little more nervous.  Well today I arrived at the clinic full of butterflies. My name was called and I went into the room. At first a nurse went through what she was going to do and asked a few questions, I was then asked to get ready.  The colposcopy was a little uncomfortable, just like the smear and was a little longer. She then gave me the news that everything looks clear but would take a biopsy to confirm her investigation, this was the worst bit, it felt l...

Being a carer for my parents

-

Both my parents have mobility issues and are bithnow in wheelchairs. Since I can remember my Mum has been in a wheelchair due to have a very worn hip joint which she was born with.  When I was in year 9 my Dad's back started to hurt and progressivly got worse to the point where he struggled to get out of bed. I am now classed as a carer to my mum which is important for me, my mum is very stubborn and sometime I have to have a little nag to get her to do things. I don't see my parents in any other way than just my parents, if that makes sense. My Mum is an amazing person who makss me proud every day. Due her lack of mobility she also has other health problems which she can control with tablets and lifestyle changes.  My Dad is still constantly on the go with his veterans and the local carnival which he does every year using his mobility scooter as his base for his structure. He does feel it after he compeltes things but I think it gives him motivation to...
