Your Karaoke Theme Song is “I’m Too Sexy” You’re a total goof ball and a bit of a nut job. You don’t take yourself seriously at all. And while you may not be the greatest singer, you’re the first to volunteer for karaoke. You have a wild and unpredictable sense of humor that always gets …

When Santa got stuck up the chimney
Get ready, get steady for my next 23 days of posts having Christmas song lyrics as titles 🙂 A lazy morning of tv watching, being on laptops and me and the children making their advent garlands. These were kits with bags of chocolate buttons to melt and pour into moulds, then decorate with writing icing …
Lessons from life
We’ve been doing some thinking the last few weeks about our social engagements calendar in the new year. For now I think it has forced the conclusion that we need to take a break from Magical Mondays for a while at least. We are on the waiting list for another Home Ed group, closer to …
All about her…
She wanted pink, blue and silver decorations, food in shapes with lots of sugary adornments, a teddy bear cake, lots of music, not too many party games, pretty goody bags to match the decorations and to share her birthday celebrations with some of her very best friends. I reckon we pulled it off :). This …
These things are sent…
I totally overslept this morning and was woken, just after 9am by the doorbell ringing and the sound of my Dad’s voice. I scrambled out of bed and downstairs but the house was a tip with a half empty wine bottle still sitting in the middle of the lounge floor, kids in pjs, Davies on …
Plan for the day – updated! Updated even more, now with added bolding!
940am – waste precious moments of the day compiling a blog post about plan for the day while kids watch Brainiac – took longer than expected as, in my usual manner, I got carried away with how much I wrote! 950am wrap ebay parcels, there are only five and labels are already written so shouldn’t …

Your wish….
is my command Liza 😉 Very much a work in progress: will try and get an ‘after’ shot of it in a more satisfying state!
Party Prep a go-go
I worked this morning. Due to Richard being poorly yesterday (hope he’s much improved today Lucy and none of the rest of you are suffering x) Ady stayed home to be with Davies and Scarlett. I carried on with my display from Saturday and other than something to fill a strip along the bottom which …
Swimmingly
Well I got my lie in :). Hence this morning was a slow start and while I was copying shopping lists for mincemeat and birthday cake ingredients out along with making address labels for ebay parcels, Davies was X boxing and Scarlett was curled up next to me doing writing (again!) and they were both …
Little boxes….
My Dad used to sing this to me when I was a little girl: 1. Little boxes on the hillside, Little boxes made of ticky-tacky, Little boxes, little boxes, Little boxes, all the same. There’s a green one and a pink one And a blue one and a yellow one And they’re all made out …
Reading schemes
I’ve mentioned maybe once or twice 😉 how Scarlett is picking up the bones of learning to read and write without reading schemes, alphabet learning etc. At risk of repeating myself again but in order to make of it properly what I think I’ve been getting at with passing references I’ll try and put it …
Wah Grr Whine
I drank too much fizzy wine last night and slept really badly and woke with a headache. Also Ady had had a bad night’s sleep and unusually (I normally sleep through anything) had disturbed me lots. Coupled with hormonal stuff making me stroppy anyway I’ve probably not been the best company today. Which means spending …
Erm, snip
When I was a little girl amoung other career aspirations I also briefly numbered an ambition to be a hairdresser. This was based solely on the lovely noise that proper sharp scissors make in the air when they snip through hair. I thought waving scissors about in a snippy manner all day might be quite …
If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flour in your hair! Had to be done eh Ali :). Had a great day today. Ady was working from home so Davies was able to stay home with him while Scarlett and I nipped out to Argos to collect a new answerphone I’d reserved online. Way, way back in …
Ok so it’s not quite Merry’s house round here…
But I have sat and packed up 25 parcels of ebay sales tonight, which netted me over £100 so that has indeed paid for one of the kids’ DSs for Christmas. Hurrah :). I worked today, it was quite slow and dragged a bit really, can’t quite believe I will have been there a year …

Wednesday for want of a better title
I was the mistress of efficiency today (which suggests that efficiency is a scoundrel of a man cheating on his wife with someone wearing a floaty negligee rather, which is not me at all) and gathered in the washing that has been hanging on the line getting progressively wetter since last week, brought it all …
Speed reading, soppy sobbing and super sketching
Tuesdays have always been supposed to be our day at home, I never work them, we only have D’s swimming lessons at 530pm to leave the house for and I think having at least one day a week when we stay home, don’t see anyone else and simply busy ourselves with stuff we have here …
