A lovely boost to be on the longlist for the @fishpublishing short story prize. Congrats to the winners 🎊

My nearly 7yo to my husband, trying to be reassuring: 'You're 10 years younger than the youngest old people, and that's ages in my opinion'

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

I ordered leeks and the supermarket sent me celery (shudder). That is not an acceptable substitute...

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Made my husband a bday millionaire's shortbread and my 6yo's ringing endorsement was 'better than I expected'. Parenthood certainly cuts you down to size 😂

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

The people in front of us in the supermarket were buying six bottles of champagne, eight boxes of tissues and a single mango. That's quite a night in...

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

@aitcheldee Relatable 😂

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

At this point, parenting seems to be roughly 25% hugs and 75% listening to my 6yo complaining about his shoes

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

My 6yo: I have a tummy ache.
Me: What did you eat for lunch?
6yo: Yorkshire pudding, bread, rice and buttered crackers.
Me: 🤨

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

@AttieLime My 6yo would get on with your 6yo! Obsessed with Minecraft and now Pokémon too

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Just found out my flash fiction piece was longlisted for a second time (thanks @Mslexia), so🤞it will find a home soon

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Just wondered whether to do peas with dinner before remembering the answer is always yes. And by peas I mean petit pois - garden peas can do one

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

So pleased that @LondonISP has selected my flash fiction After the Shine Wore Off to be included in their anthology 😊

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Two pieces of lovely writing news in one week. I am spoiled.

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

We'll, this has been a crap day

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Not me patting myself on the back because my 6yo is getting himself up and dressed then realising when I do his washing he's been wearing the same underwear for 5 days straight...

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Dear hairdressers, if you ask me 'Is this length OK?' I will nod and smile even though I can't see a thing without my glasses. Also, I am British so I will thank you politely even if you give me a mullet/crew cut

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

Close but no cigar once again. Still it was really nice to hear I was longlisted by @MastersReview - they send such encouraging rejections

[Amy Ferguson @Amy_M_Ferguson]

I've really been enjoying the #CaseClosed workshops run by @STWevents. Starting to get excited about my WIP again...
