Very short post, I have just sat and read the most amazing parenting blog, Raising My Rainbow and had to share.
Huge amount of respect for a family who accept and nuture a creative gender child. As a mum I know how hard it is to raise a child who is different in some way. As a family we are trying to get my eldest assessed and recognised as being 'on the spectrum'. The Autistic Spectrum. The difficulty comes from her being the 'wrong' gender to have ASD in any form.

Doc Johnson Wonderland Pleasurepillar 10 Function Silicone Vibrator
I was sent this as a tester by Lovehoney and would normally write a review quickly but this one had me puzzled.
The Alice in Wonderland themed packaging is lovely. For a company which usually uses cheap looking plastic it was a revelation. The box looks very much like a book, making this a great idea for a gift.
On opening the colour is fantastic. I dislike pink toys and this is an unusual and intense colour.
From there it went downhill and very quickly. The vibrations are too weak for me and the shape was wrong. The Pleasurepillar wouldn't and couldn't hit my G-spot if it had a target painted on it. I have tried this twice and both times I got so frustrated by the weak vibrations I have given up on it and reached for an alternative.
Cleaning the Pleasurepillar is not as easy as it could be. The bumps in the vibe needed careful attention to get them clean, I would be concerned about anything lurking in the grooves after cleaning.
Overall concept and colour are great but form and function let this vibe down badly.
Not a toy I would recommend.

Getting back into the swing of things.
The tail end of 2012 has been a long spiral downwards for me, in November I hit rock bottom. Very few friends and none of my extended family know but I got caught lining up an attempt to end things. I was found with a pile of pills, some say suicide is a selfish act and in some ways it is: you are not thinking of others and the effect you will have on their lives. You are not thinking at all.
There was a black hole into which I had fallen and couldn't climb out of, every effort resulted in the sides crumbling away.
I am lucky I have a supportive partner, who understands and didn't read the riot act along with a new GP who listens. The start of 2013 has been a more positive one with effective antidepressants leveling my moods. Unfortunately they have stopped my sex drive in its tracks.
I am getting back to being me, taking time out for me. Spending time with the people who are important to me. I have written my first review in six months, it was a tough one to write but I found enjoyment in writing again.
So watch out world GG is back.

It has been a while since I posted on here. Why? Well sometimes you just have to get on with life and there is no time for anything else.
I feel like I am loosing one of the most important people in my life. You only get one Mum and mine isn't doing so good. The woman who has been my rock through good and bad is getting forgetful and aggressive. Getting her to admit that she has a problem and needs to see her GP is a battle I am loosing.
The thing is I know, my Dad knows and the GP knows that something is wrong. Mum knows something is wrong but no one wants to use the D word. Dementia. Early onset Dementia. There said it, got it out but still have no idea how I tell the smart woman who raised me and supported me through the worst times in my life that she is likely to forget who I am. I have been down this path before, a Grand mother who couldn't remember any of us. That was hard enough but this is tearing me apart.
The stress of dealing with the issue is having an effect on the rest of my life, on my children and on my sex life. I have to be grateful that I have a partner who understands even makes light of it. British black humour at it's best.
So if I go quiet it is not because I am bored of blogging, not because I have run out of things to say. My journey continues but at a different pace and sometimes the route changes and we take a detour.

Seven Creations - Lust fingers.
This is the first time I have written a totally negative review, no apology for doing so now. I purchase these because sometimes fingers are not enough but I am not in the mood for a toy.
The packaging is a basic card and plastic blister pack, no problems there and no graphic porn star like pictures to put you off. Once you open it the problems hit you in the nose. Quite literally. These things stink. I washed them and left to air dry. The bathroom stank of a sharp chemically smell. I left them longer but even after a couple of weeks the smell was unbearable.
Getting past the smell issue, if these were designed for a woman's hands then the design team need to get their measuring sticks out. They are way too big for my fingers both in length and internal diameter. There is a lot of wiggle room, as in easily falling off.
Texture wise, the purple bumpy one is hard against the skin on my wrist, too harsh to be comfortable, the pink ribbed one feels softer. I cannot tell you how they feel in use because there is no way they are coming into contact with my clit.
Overall I hated the colour, texture, size and smell. This product has no redeeming features.
