About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Chinese Takeaway

Once a week we have a takeaway. By popular demand and because of the points we are willing to spend it is almost always a chow mein from the local chinese takeaway. If the points are running low then it's King Prawn at a meagre 5.5 points but usually it's a special chow mein with a mixture of chicken, prawn and char sui at a mouth watering 7.5 points. Our takeaways always come with a free portion of prawn crackers which either my husband and I split for 2.5 points each, or more usually oldest son Charlie munches.


It does you good to treat yourself every now and then and every mummy deserves a night off from cooking.
