Ady has yet another little extra role at work of being the nominated ‘green’ person meaning he is trying to help the company be more environmentally friendly in any possible ways. He is also tasked with finding new products suitable for selling on QVC so is registered with all sorts of places under that hat. …

Home time :)
We’ve had a very laid back and relaxed day at home today. Davies and Scarlett have been utterly self-directed and spent some time on x box finding a graffitti design extra on some racing game my brother lent Davies where you choose the spray size on the paint and draw stuff. They collaborated on that …
Foibles
Scarlett is developing some odd little ways. She has been stashing an old tube of kiddie toothpaste that has run out and I had told her to throw away when I bought a new tube a couple of weeks ago. She’s also started to claim to be scared of going into certain rooms on her …
Not very interesting really…
We went to a car boot sale this morning. We need a new axe as Ady killed ours on Friday chopping up wood – clearly he’d be a shit axe murderer if he is more likely to kill the axe than kill with the axe! 😆 We didn’t find an axe, or anything else interesting …
Terminal 5
We’ve been to Heathrow Airport today to the new Terminal 5 building. The terminal opens next month and they are running trials with volunteers to test it prior to opening. We registered as volunteers a few weeks back and applied for today’s trial and had a phone call to say we’d been accepted on it. …
If you’re happy and you know it…
Work for me today. It started off with banking, then I spent the whole morning sat in the staff room drinking tea and basically chatting to Wendy under the guise of doing my performance and development review. Which was clearly getting paid lots of money for doing very little really! During that time the rest …
So far…
I totally overslept this morning, which I obviously needed but meant we didn’t get going until nearly 11am. Davies and Scarlett stayed in the car while I dashed into Tescos for lunchtime supplies and then we arrived at Fishbourne Roman palace. We went a couple of times last year – once with The Beans and …
And OMG I can’t believe I forgot to blog my schedule!
Wednesdays are an important night round here. Torchwood is on. And it’s on at 9pm. And before that Masterchef is on. So for just one night a week we try really hard to have dinner ready for 830pm so we’re sitting down to eat for Masterchef and noone has to miss any of either show …

Life is a rollercoaster, just got to ride it
A catalogue of reasons brought our family to our slightly unique situation of not spending any time away from each other. It has never been deliberate but in reaction to various situations along the way Davies, specifically had issues about being left without Ady or I. Because of this Scarlett never was left so she …

Yes….
Today I spent most of the day either fretting that I was a cross between my own mother (very, very shouty when we were children, retrospectively she was clearly struggling a lot but we were terrified of her and she seemed to be in a perpetual state of near hysteria) and Dave Peltzer’s mom or …
One of those days
When I am questionning whether I am fit to be considered a human, let alone live with other humans, let alone try and be a mother to a couple, let alone choose to spend time with them and HE them. I’ll write it all off as me feeling crap, them coming down with it, it …
A long long time ago…
I can still remember when it used to be this morning! An early start today with very little waking up nice and slowly which always throws me slightly off kilter for the day. Infact we forgot something and had to double back because I wasn’t really with it yet – Davies and Scarlett would always …
Lost Sunday
Ady was off and out way before I woke up properly this morning – he’d arranged to go to his mate Tom’s house to collect logs. On the way he’d had a phone call from Tom to say he was running late so Ady had detoured to meet his brother for half an hour or …
RSPB, sniffles and kittens
I worked yesterday morning. I arrived early as I needed to nip to the collecting office at the post office to get a parcel that had been too big to delivery through our letterbox the day before, so had ten minutes in the staff room reading Heat magazine before I started work – real novelty! …
Quite like this…
although I sort of expected to be some ungodly hour! 😆 Seen at Live Otherwise and at Petits Haricots You are the moment when the last bell rings and school lets out for the day. You are resistant to schedules and obligations, so you love feeling like you’re in control of your life again. You …

indepth but good ideas opposite end!
Friday not in love
An early start to the day and picnic packed (or as I like to call it picNic ;)) we headed off. I’d not really checked train times as Lancing to Brighton are always pretty frequent and our meeting time with EOFF was pretty loose. We were planning to walk to the station (which is less …
hearts and flowers
Work all day for me today but Ady was home (lieu day from appearing on national tv ;)). I had a good day, I did a new display first thing for the quick reads initiativewhich was immediately successful with four books being issued today :). There is just so much I love about my job …
I don’t believe in Peter Pan, Frankenstein or Superman
Having checked that no last minute folk had decided to contact me about coming to Tilgate Park after all this morning I put the vote to Davies and Scarlett as to where we went. I love Tilgate but it’s a place even better to enjoy with friends – or indeed Ady so it seemed silly …

My Scarlett
On Monday while Davies was at Beavers Scarlett and Ady spent about 20 minutes playing with the camera. She was dancing and jumping about while he tried to catch her mid-air and then she was running back to the camera to see the results. She was getting increasingly giggly and just being so very ‘Scarlett’. …
