The Girl: I’d like to be a mummy when I’m old like you.
Me: When you grow up, not when you’re old. I’m not old. But yes that’s a good idea, it’s fun being a mummy.
The Girl: Will you help me when I’m a mummy?
Me: Of course. If I can, I will. Even when you’re grown up you will still be my baby…
…Wistfully day dreaming that my baby girl will always need her mummy…
The Girl: Thank you…..I will need you to pay the Doctor who gets it out of my tummy. I think they only take card.
Apparently she is predicting the downfall of the NHS and her future dependency on The Bank of Mum and Dad. Did I did give birth to a “super forecaster”? I have a horrible feeling she just might be spot on.
Suppose I had better go back to work then… in the NHS….to support The Bank of Mum and Dad….

I am Helen, although more commonly known as “Mum" or "Doc".
I have a couple of other roles along side of this.
- I’m a a wife, to another junior doctor (yawn) - who specialises in willies and wee.
- A daughter to a Yorkshire man and a Scottish lady, an undeniably great combo resulting an ability to be super frugal drunk.
- A sister to two older brothers therefore the victim of years of 'character building' experiences.
- A northerner who travelled down to the midlands for uni and never quite made it back. Yet.
- A friend, to some, for over 25 years, and still can’t shake them off; at this stage they know too much.
- An aunty to two boisterous nephews residing stateside, and a local niece.
- A daughter- and sister-in-law; having lacked sisters growing up I'm now lucky enough to have acquired 4.
- A neighbour to The Deputy, The General and their wives, amongst other retirees.
- A slimmer and a swimmer, albeit neither particularly successfully just now.
- A gardener, chef, cleaner, washing machine operator, carrier bag collector, and now after much persuasion (borderline bullying) and a 30 quid investment, a keen blogger!
