When I gave up my day job back in November I started a new routine. I’d take the children to school, go to the gym and then head to a coffee shop for a nice cup of tea and to get some blog work done. This routine has continued since then and I’ve now managed to try all of the coffee shops in my local town to find out whee has the best tea for both type of tea and the value for money.

Over the course of your child’s life, from birth onwards, you spend so much time and money researching the best cars seats, making sure they fit in your car and making sure that you buy the safest option for your child. But what if there was a car seat that you could use from birth that would grow and adapt with your child to keep them safe throughout their childhood – all the way through until they no longer needed a car seat?
Well, Graco Milestone could be just the thing. This revolutionary new convertible car seat has three different modes – easily changing from a rear-facing baby car seat to a forward-facing five point harness seat to a high-back booster seat. It’s set to be the only car seat a child needs.
Over the last few months Little Man has been using the Graco Milestone seat and I wish we’d had it when he was tiny so we could have tried out the baby stage too. But, with the seat in forward facing, five point harness mode it was simple to install and fit well in the car. The harness and headrest can be adjusted simply with just one hand and at the same time – rather than having to adjust lots of different things as your child grows.

Last weekend I decided to confront someone about the way they had been talking about me for months behind the closed doors of a Facebook group. I told them that the things they were saying were not just unfounded and with no real cause but were vile and much the same as I had heard all those years ago in the school playground. Their response?
‘People are bored of the whole bullying thing. It happened, it was shit. Get over it and move on.’
I hadn’t mentioned bullying but they obviously realised that their behaviour amounted to that and they really couldn’t understand why, even now, 16 years after leaving school and three years after writing about being bullied, I was still talking about it. Why being bullied was still a topic of conversation for me.
