Lancashire……

Mother of M_______, my own little monster now eight, now many happy and mad months into a relationship with the lovely (and still apparently sane though maybe not for long) Mr A, (though wondering if I do have the words psycho-magnet tattooed on my forehead) whilst still technically and unfortunately married to mad French ex-husband, and (yuk) 39 and getting far too close to 40 for comfort……
