Ady was off at 4am to QVCland where he was on air for 6 minutes, sold out both his lines and made about £10K worth of sales. He was approached by yet another company about selling their product for them. The ‘going rate’ for this is £250 a time plus commission so it is fairly …

Feeling a bit circle of life round here
what with our bantams becomming parents and all :). Wish it had been the chickens we hatched ourselves this time last year who’s offspring were hatching but they did all insist on being boys so it made it a bit tricky! 😆 As I type we have three chicks in the brooder, one in the …
An Alanis Morrisette sorta day
Yesterday I worked all day. Ady was home in the morning, Dad was here in the afternoon. I think they all spent most of their time in the garden. Today I slept in having had a very bad disturbed nights’ sleep. When I got up at 10am one of the eggs was looking like this: …
Life and death
A fairly relaxed and slow start to the day here with Ben 10 first thing, naturally :rolls: After last night’s chat with Davies about foetal development we found a great short film on youtube which was perfect. That led to discussion about Julie’s baby and it’s current development and then to talk about premature babies …
Digger, digger, digger, digger, dig, dig
This morning after I had made my first bucket of tea of the day, let the chickens out, turned the eggs in the incubator, poured cereal into bowls for children who are capable of navigating worktop clambering, milk pouring and microwaving and spooning hot chocolate powder into mugs to make their own warming, sugar laden …
Why couldn’t the viper viper nose?
Because the adder adder ‘ankerchief! 😆 😆 Today we were All About The Nature. We went to the monthly Home Ed meetup at Pulborough Brooks. Heavy rain was forecast but the day dawned sunny and bright so we packed a picnic and headed off, listening to LSoH music and singing loudly. Tarly took a spotter …
Weekending
Yesterday Ady was QVCing in the morning so he had to leave home about 430am. He was on just after 930am and for once Davies and Scarlett sat and watched all of it. They normally wander off bored after a minute or so. It wasn’t the lure of seeing Daddy on tv that kept them …
Down flew a blackbird and pecked off her nose
Yes it’s been a day at work complete with Baby Rhyme Time again. I don’t think either myself or anyone who knows me would ever have thought I’d have earnt money sat cross legged in a big group of mothers and babies singing and doing actions to nursery rhymes. Oh there are many more curious …

And Timmy the dog
Ady was off today so he came along with us to the Green Diggers event at Tilgate Park. We faffed around in the morning and didn’t actually get out the house until gone 11am but arrived at Tilgate and had time to sit and have lunch and look round some of the animals before the …
Wonderful Wednesday
Ages ago, when I was 15 I used to Hate Wednesdays (deliberate capitalisation).This was almost entirely due to the fact that the 19 year old I had a serious crush on at the time worked in the local Safeways up the road from my Mum’s restuarant evenings on the tills, except for Wednesdays when he …
Missed a day!
Yesterday felt like hard work while I was there but with the perspective of a day it all remembers just fine. We went to Lucy’s for the day where Tarly got to do plenty of kitten-worshipping, Davies got to do plenty of playing really well with and then falling out dramatically with Rebecca and I …
And since we’ve no place to go…
I woke this morning around 7am and promptly went back to sleep. At 8am Ady brought me a cup of tea but I dozed for a while before drinking it and around 830am I started reading my book in bed and decided to stay there til I’d finished it.This took until just after 10am. In …
Stuff what did happen today
I had a really crap nights sleep last night, no idea why but I seemed to spend hours awake and when I did fall asleep it was to dream convoluted and scary dreams about chickens :lol:. Ady left for London at about 5am and then my Dad, who is never late for anything ever cut …
Jennifer, Alison, Phillipa, Sue
You know no one ever sung a song about a woman called Nicola? And how come there are loads of songs with women’s names in but none with men’s? Eh?! The title is of course from The Beautiful South song which we were listening to in the car earlier. I like The Beautiful South but …
Typical!
I started today not really in the mood for work and it sort of carried on really. Maybe I should try and work out why I struggle to maintain interest in jobs after 18 months, I’m not like it in any other area -relationships and parenting haven’t gone stale although I guess they change rather …
We like to move it move it!
On the way home from London on Sunday Tarly was talking about Drusillas and when we’d next go there. We’ve got just over 3 months left on our annual passes so it does make sense to get a few visits in before they run out so I said we’d try and get there this week. …
Blood, salt and sunshine
Ady took today off. His lieu days for all the evening and weekend work have been backing up rather and with travelling time he worked something like 70 hours last week so although it was nice to go up to London with him and make it feel less like work he was in need of …
Then on Monday…
We’re breaking ourselves into BST gently here 😆 All we *had* to do today was pop into town to pay the mortgage so we elected to do that after lunch and have the morning at home. Davies and Scarlett caught up on some playing (some sort of Primeval meets geomags with added ponies type game), …
My London Page
can be found here will add to it more when I am not confused about just what time it is 😆
And Sunday
I woke at around 9am which was sort of 8am or something. Reading the twitters from Mazportico and Helenharicot confused me further so I went to have a shower :lol:. When I got out the children were both awake so they got dressed and we went down to breakfast. The hotel we’re in is the …
