Tl;dr: How do I politely get my mum t to give me space and not feel the need to check in with me every day? I want to tell her I have a life now and I'm not anyways minded to tell her every inane detail of what I do.
For what it's worth, I love my folks loads. But my mum is just getting on my nerves at the moment.

You could just remind her that while you love her and value the time you spend talking and catching up, you aren't going to be able to check in with her more than once or twice (or whatever seems reasonable for you at this time) per week and let her decide which days you will be contacting and by what means. If she resists, then you might just tell her that she can text, message, Facebook as much as she feels she needs to, but you will only have time to check and/or respond to her messages once or twice per week. Do you have siblings or other family with similar experiences with your mum?
