As Ruth blogged this week about an incident when Munchkin embarrassed her I though it was only fair that I do the same concerning Bear-Cub.

Pelvic Floor Exercises (or… You must have pissed yourself laughing…)
I am going to share a little more about me than I ought to in this post.  (I’ve had a few glasses of wine!) This evening I have realised that the phrase, “you must have pissed yourself laughing” can only have come from a woman...
