So it turns out that being both pregnant, and diabetic just turns you into a pretty difficult customer. Those who’ve read my blog before will know I hate to make a fuss… And I continue to feel that way but feel like it’s getting harder not to!

Last night I had a client party for a huge project we (their agency) and they have completed over the last year. The format promised drinks, nibbles and a DJ.
