Every single brand except one was choc full of parabens (emerging research – example – shows that high concentrations of parabens are found in breast […]
You can tell I’ve been reading Sarah Bessey when I want to start all the post titles with ‘In which’… 😉 So, did not end up travelling out to camp after all. In the middle of the night I woke feeling like it probably wasn’t a good idea, and then in the morning I got

**Random sidetrack while I am writing today’s real post** (for which I am WELL KNOWN in the classroom, especially ask my year 8 extension class this year :D) Harry Potter 4 is on in the background and the ads just came on. KFC have a new product out, I can’t find the name of it,
