I bought a jumper at a NCT Nearly New Sale. It was a few years ago now but I *think* I paid about £2 for it way, way back in 2005. You will all have seen Davies wearing it lots. It was officially his and my favourite jumper for the winter’s of 2005 and 2006 …

I worked this morning. It was good, lots of laughs and banter with some of my favourite colleagues. It was quiet though, so many people seem to be ill and ailing. Home for lunch where Ady and the children had been tidying and cake making and Dad had popped round to drop off a dog …
Back in the bubble
We’ve been out with Mel, Liam and Lily today. Last time we met up with them I had an utterly miserable time as we were penniless and she was flush with tokens for her two in the amusements, getting them a gift in the shop afterwards and paying for a round of mini golf. Oh …
Almost fast paced
This morning Ady and I caught both cockerels and held them up so we could all decide which one to keep. The decision was unanimous and we still have the more golden-y of the two – the one to the right in yesterdays picture. The other one has gone to a very good home where …
Bubbles…
Ady was back to work today. I always like the idea of him being home more and I’m sure if it was a permanent arrangement it would be great but on a temporary basis, especially with Christmas in the middle of it all I quite like the line him going back to work draws under …
See those middle two?
one of ’em is off tomorrow! They are the two cockerels and for their own safety (it’s cruel to keep them both in a confined space) one is going. A workmate of Ady’s has bantams already and his wife has always wanted a cockerel. I emailed the above photo to Ady at work today and …
Out with the old, in with the new
Yesterday we’d managed to leave ourselves with a couple of things to do due to the bank being closed on Saturday when we’d driven there and me putting off the month’s food shopping for feeling too drained to trek round the supermarket for an hour or more. So, when we eventually got ourselves together and …
2007
January saw me turn 33, which all felt very grown up, a visit from Merry and her girls and some snow! Oh and Davies started at both Beavers and a new Badgers in Worthing after the local Lancing one had folded late in 2006. I got stuck into my new library job having started in …
argh!
I’ve been very busy drafting a 2007 round up (which predictably doesn’t round the year up at all, just kind of verbatims it all back again!) and now it’s 2am and I’ve only got to September and I need to blog today! I had a very late start to the day. Ady brought me a …
Rahh!
I am finally feeling better! 🙂 🙂 This morning we whizzed into town to go to the bank only to find it closed 🙁 which means we need to do that on Monday instead. We popped to Iceland (where Mum’s go apparently :roll:) to get some shove in the oven food for NY Eve when …
Erm…
I worked today where the day felt like it had been stretched out into a week. I was too hot, very woolly of head, very snotty and coughy and husky and even simple requests like ‘can I borrow a book please?’ threw me. I probably wasn’t really up to being there but as all the …
If you were holding a between Christmas and New Year karaoke party
you could stick my name down to do a good Bonnie Tyler Total Eclipse of the Heart, cos I’m dead husky and throaty at the moment. I can also do a darn good Rod Stewart (to be near you, to be freeeeee) or a Kim Carnes Bette Davis eyes but I don’t do that around …

Cockadoodle-two
So, not only is one of the guaranteed point of lay pullets (i.e. girls) bantams a boy, two of them are! 😆 I have always thought that two looked very different to the other two, like two pairs and turns out that’s precisely what they are; a pair of boys and a pair of girls! …
Had to share this one with you
Came through the door earlier today. It is special for so many reasons: a) It says Thank you three times b) It is special festive thank you paper bought for the sole purpose of saying festive thank yous. This would be cute if any one of them were under ten years old. As none of …
Outside of the Box
A rather later start this morning but Davies and Scarlett were straight to their DSs to carry on where they’d left off yesterday. The sun was shining though and I insisted we all go out for an hour or so to get some fresh air / exercise / break from things with plugs and rechargers. …
So here it is, Merry Christmas
Very early start – Davies came into our room at 6am brandishing stuffed pillowcase and sat on the end of our bed opening and exclaiming over everything. I’d put in stuff like chocolate orange and chocolate coins, plasticine, colour changing rubber ducks, a slinky, a grow your own venus fly trap, some magnetic letters and …
And the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day
Had a fairly traditional Christmas Eve here. This morning I made cards with D and S for each other and for us and for Mum and Dad. D did some lovely pictures and S did some great writing :). We droppped a couple of last Christmas cards through localish people’s doors and met my parents …

Eve of the Eve
In the full throes of the cold here 🙁 D and S are on the mend but have hacking coughs. Ady is moving from snot production and into cough territory with more updates and regular health bulletins than would be posted on the gates of Buckingham Palace should the monarch be at death’s door :roll:. …
And so this is Christmas
I worked this morning. It was nice actually, everyone (staff and borrowers) were in festive moods and calling Merry Christmasses to each other hither and thither. Yvonne asked me to do a display first thing of the RAW stuff so I changed shelves around, backed the wall with bright yellow and did arty things with …
Twas the Friday before Christmas
And Nic is way too pissed to think of a clever Christmas song lyric to sum up the day. Hell I am barely able to type legibly and now I am seriously doubting that legibly is the correct spelling but can’t be arsed to check. This morning started with a cockadoodledoo, or at least the …
