Nearly 6 weeks old and already attending date checking at staverton this morning. I think all the cuddles wiped her out St John Ambulance England #mysjaday #stjohnpeople

Yep, that pretty much sums it up for every landing.

Why is it so hard to find child care for shift workers? Everyone wants set days but when you work 4 on 4 off that’s not possible… and also… why is it always presumed that a woman is going to give up her career for the baby, I was the one that had 7 layers of skin cut through 🙄

8 week jabs have been rough especially on top of the heat 😅😴 she’s cute tho 💖

Everyone is very quick to slate the nhs but when I was early days pregnant I had a clinician call and was seen at OOH Gp and home again all within 5 hours of my initial call 😅🤞🏼the nhs is under tremendous pressure please remember that 😅 #nhs #111services

A wonderful event, in recognition of Volunteers efforts, 2 new ambulances blessed and finally redeadication of Staverton Hub. Thanks to our CEO & the County chaplin for supporting us in the Southwest. Well done to District team. St John Ambulance England Martin HB Heather Ferneyhough OStJ

How have I got a 3 month old 🥹 crazy to think this time is 6 months I will be back to work full time 🥲

Prim loves to party in her crib this early in the morning. When I tell her it’s not time to she smiles. I can’t be mad at her little face 🥹

Yesterday marked 11 weeks until I’m back at work. In some ways I’ve missed it, others I’m gonna to miss getting regularly sassed at by my daughter. *Cough* like mother like daughter *cough*

I swear this last year I’ve spent more times in hospitals or at them than I ever did working

Thanks to all of the amazing team of St John Ambulance volunteers who have been providing medical cover for the crowd at The Festival at Cheltenham Racecourse. SJA Glos - President Volunteering Team CheltenhamRacecourse #mysjaday #volunteering #chelfie

It’s not even 8am and my nearly 2 year old is giving backchat 🫠

An independent 2 year old is hard. I’ve been waiting for her to get into pjs for a while now and every time I offer to help it’s no. She’s also easily distracted and we are now on a round of twinkle twinkle
