If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

Where are older women hiding? A challenge…

June 26, 2019 By Ellen Leave a Comment

I know it’s a bit of a joke – hit your middle years and you become invisible. No cat calls, no unwanted attention, in fact, no attention at all one way or the other. It’s a superpower of sorts – we can become anything we want, from spies to leaders of industry. So far, so […]

Death to supermummy, her time is up

February 23, 2018 By Ellen 8 Comments

There’s a mythological creature out there. At first glance, it seems like a perfectly ordinary woman trying to earn a few quid, do the best for her family and scratch out a few measly moments at the end of a busy week for herself. Yet, she has magical powers. She can run the house, look […]
