Drat and double drat
Can anybody explain to me exactly why we have to have ‘daylight savings’ time? Just as I thought maybe we had cracked the whole sleeping thing, the bloody clocks have gone back an hour and my house of cards has come tumbling down once more – three wakings last night, crap naps today and 25 mins of non stop screaming this afternoon when I tried to put Bubs down for another sleep, resulting in me once again doing a mercy dash around country roads in the pissing rain to get him to sleep. I’m pretty sure the whole time change thing is to do with farmers having more light in the mornings so they can get on with their work…well I say that seeing as most of our food is now imported from Timbuktu (sp?) and seeing that I’d bet my ass there are more frazzled mums in this country than there are farmers wanting to go to work at 5am, daylight savings should be abolished!!! By the time I’ve got him to sleep through the night again it will probably be time to put the sodding clock forward again…

About Claire
Hello! I’m Claire and welcome to MumUnplugged! I started this blog in 2008 following the birth of my son; I was bored on maternity leave from my job as a magazine editor, and besides feeling a pathological urge to just write something, I wanted to put my own experiences as a first time mum out there for others to share. I’m just a normal mum like any other – I have good days and bad days, days when I feel confident in my ability to raise this little human I created and others when I wonder why on earth I ever thought I could handle it! The most important thing I’ve learned from becoming a mum is that there’s nothing like advice from other mums who’ve been in your shoes – and I hope that by reading my experiences and those of others, visitors to MumUnplugged will find inspiration, advice and support for their journey through motherhood. Through my career in publishing I’ve also developed a passion for trend-spotting and tracking down the latest products so you’ll also find lots of news, reviews, fashion, topical features and much more. I really hope you enjoy the site – don’t forget to check out our forums (coming soon!) and keep your eyes peeled for great competitions and giveaways. If there’s anything you’d like to see on MumUnplugged then I’d love to hear from you – email mumunplugged@googlemail.com, follow me on Twitter, check out the Facebook page - or just leave me a comment!
