About me

Alright nosey?

Welcome to Whinge Whinge Wine.

I’m Fran. I am a 40 year old mum, blogger and freelance writer, and this is my website. I write the posts, I take the pictures, I talk the nonsense on social media.

I live in Reading in Berkshire with my two children (my daughter who is ten, and my son who is eight), my partner James, his children, and our dog Izzy. My hobbies include saying I’ll have an early night and messing about on Facebook instead. I like going to the gym and walking the dog as ways to escape doing housework as often as possible, so you’d think by now I’d be fitter, but I also like eating nice food and drinking nice wine.

About this blog

This blog started out life late in 2015 when I was very very tired and woe-is-me dealing with a colicky, refluxy baby and needed somewhere to pour my frustrations albeit in a humorous way.

Over seven years on, there is less vomit and slightly more sleep, but I’m still writing about my life as a mother, and as a person in general, because you can be both a mother and also an independent human being of your own. Who knew!

This blog has given me some brilliant opportunities, and I have met a lot of really awesome people. I’ve even won awards! It’s allowed me to work from home around my children and I can honestly say I love doing it, so thank you for reading and making it possible.

If you’d like to work together, please visit my work with me page.

If you don’t know where to start, I’d suggest my homepage.

If you’d like, you can buy me a cup of tea (or a glass of wine) here.
