One of many things I and Little Lady have in common is our love of make-up and out inability to apply it very expertly. Little Lady is 11 now and people might think that is way too young for her to be interested in make-up. I have a friend who complained about her daughter’s interest […]

Mum-in-law came from Pakistan last week as she does every year, to stay for the summer. She helps with the children, helps to care for them during the summer holidays and keeps me company. She also comes bearing gifts! Alhamdulillah, this year all of my sisters-in-law sent me and the kids gifts. Lovely outfits for […]

My mother-in-law came to stay with us last week from Pakistan so I took the end of the week off work, not realising it was bank holiday the following Monday. It was rather nice to have an unexpectedly long weekend. I knew we would have lots of visitors for mum-in-law, but I made lots of […]
It seems that despite my efforts to be discreet, some mentions of my health have crept into my writing over the last few months. I write about my life and my experiences and it can be hard to separate how I am feeling physically from that, especially at times like this when it impacts so […]

As a child I was very nerdy, I had no idea I was , but looking back I feel immense affection for the little girl with plaits, braces and thick NHS glasses who would read anything and everything – food packets, the newspaper my mum used to wrap vegetable peelings, any book, magazine or leaflet […]
I don’t have a TV and I don’t tend to keep up with the news, but every now and again my husband watches the Pakistani news on the internet with his mum and I listen in with half an ear. Between that, an occasional peek at the BBC news website and links sent to me […]

Pakistani: No, my wife has got six suitcases packed with shopping for her family, but the […]
