Amazing Reception

July 24, 2018 by NunntheWiser

Today is EldestGirl’s last day of Reception. I have to say – all modesty aside (seriously aside – wait for it) – I have absolutely nailed it. Honestly, if anyone has had a better year than me, I want to see evidence. This year…. We have read with both children daily. We have learned times … [Read more…]

Clothes maketh the (wo)man

EldestGirl with bow

We have always made an effort with both of our daughters, not to stereotype, not to call things “girly”, or to use words like “tomboy”. We preach that all colours are for everybody, that looking beautiful is less important than being kind. That being kind is important, but so is being clever. It has mostly … [Read more…]

Man, I feel like a woman

March 28, 2018 by NunntheWiser

Once a week, I take EldestGirl to Rainbows. It’s about a 15 minute drive from us, and as Rainbows is only an hour long, it’s not really worth going home, so I tend to kill the time by a wander down past the canal, into Waitrose for a quick scoop-up of anything with a yellow … [Read more…]

barclays

I have been waiting for this day for a while, and have been biting my tongue in the meantime. At the end of last week Barclays announced their gender pay gap. In 2002 I started working in banking, beginning at RBS, moving to HSBC before ending up at Barclays, from which I was made redundant … [Read more…]

Rainbow Bright

October 13, 2017 by NunntheWiser

Faith has been on our minds a lot this month. Firstly, EldestGirl’s (non-faith) school celebrated harvest festival, with lots of wholesome, earthy songs about the food chain, and hard work of non-gender-specific farmers, and then went and spoiled my atheistic enjoyment with a chat from the vicar and a song thanking God (who presumably could … [Read more…]

Senseless

August 31, 2017 by NunntheWiser

Earlier this week I had the very rare chance to go into town by myself. This was approximately twice as exciting as Christmas Day, as I didn’t have to scour the streets for dropped kerbs for the buggy, steel myself for getting the buggy wheels caught on every narrow aisle, or deal with a meltdown … [Read more…]
