"The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just a fucking lunatic."       Stephen Fry

I have 3 sons. I am homeschooling and working. I am exhausted most of the time. And I swear far too often. Regularly in front of the 3 year old. 

This is genuinely the hardest challenge I could think of. 

Incidentally, swearing has proven benefits so this is a proper sacrifice - it turns out swearing might dull physical pain. In one study, people were able to keep one hand in almost-freezing water far longer if they cursed while doing it. Boring (ahem) words didn’t cut it. Seee?!

I'll also have a swear jar handy for the inevitable slip ups. Feeeeeeeecck. 

Finally, if I start using words like "crikey" or "shnookerdookies" as substitutes, you have permission to ghost me. 

Please donate a few pennies and help provide shelter to families around the world facing covid, disasters or war. Gooooooo on. And if you want to join me, that'd be fab too....
