Sam has decided that he would like to raise money for charity. After a lot of research, he has chosen to fundraise for Mind - Rochdale. This was all Sam's idea and will be his first big fundraiser, so if you could sponsor him he'd really appreciate it! He's decided that he wants to try running his first 10k.

I know it's been a while since I posted in here. I never feel like I have anything interesting to say really 🤣 Plus I am just hopeless, anyone who has ever waited on a reply to a text from me will know this.

There is always a few dates that get to you. Today properly makes my heart ache. Every single year. I will apologise now if this doesn’t make a huge amount of sense, I have tears rolling down my cheeks as I type.

I feel like all the posts I have done so far have been a bit doom and gloom. I don’t want everyone thinking that is all our life is. It is far from it. Recently life has been more complex and harder for us to deal with.

Where to begin? I’d like to think if I asked the kids they would say they’ve had a great week. I feel like I’ve been treading water and haven’t remained the coolest I could have. I always struggle more when the geek is away with work.
