Before Scarlett fell asleep last night she asked me to sleep in her bed with her. I explained that I wouldn’t, but if she woke in the night then she could come straight to our bed rather than calling me. So I *knew* she would appear at some point during the night and sure enough …

I got engaged. Which was better than being vacant I suppose! After the last post I buggered off to lie on the bed with a book for an hour or so having taken some painkillers. Ady came in and made me a cup of tea at which point I decided I felt better and we …
Feel crap again this morning. I had a full night of horrid dreams, having gone to bed by 11pm, which is *really* early for me. I’ve woken with a headache, in a really nasty mood and want everyone to fuck off and leave me alone. Ady is cutting hedges outside (with the noisiest hedge trimmer …
Room, soon, Brigadoon, swooned… I guess your choices end up limited if you decide to write a song which required ryhming words for ‘moon’. Platoon, spoon, doom, rune, June, loon, dune, boom, tune, cartoon, typhoon, spitoon, afternoon, bloom… yeah I reckon it could have been done better 😆
After our ususal Wonderpets fest first thing we packed up a picnic and left the house, amazingly slightly ahead of schedule to collect Lucy and Co. As we were about to turn into their road I got a text from Lucy to say they were running late so we double backed and went to get …
Name the song and the artist 1 I don’t like cricket, I love it 2 that’s all right, it’s only money 3 she’s the hunter, you’re the fox 4 your money or your life 5 will we live or will we die? 6 played it till my fingers bled 7 living it up as we’re …

Up early this morning as I was working. While we were running around getting ready to leave the house I realised we’d forgotten to put the bins and the blue recycling boxes out. I was on the phone to Ady when someone knocked at the door. I was hoping it was the tent delivery but …

Just come to the blog to write a comment and found this picture in the side bar from two years ago. It is where we’ve just got home from today. Sometimes two years seems forever ago, sometimes just like yesterday. The children are really tired at the moment, the light evenings mean they are taking …
After all he’s married to me 😉 Ady had a snip after Scarlett was born. He was very brave and manly about the whole business, volunteering to have it done and being very stoical about the whole thing from the initial appointment where he was asked ‘Are you sure you won’t want more children? What …
I was a mistress of efficiency this morning, getting loads of washing on, getting everyone breakfasted and dressed and making playdough before the Wonderpets had finished. But – disaster – we only had a dribble of salt left (key playdough ingredient) so as we needed to pop to Sainsburys to get money from the cashpoint …
It’s the sabbath day, the day of rest, the sun is shining and you are of British stock. So obviously you need to wear as few clothes as possible whilst crisping your shoulders to a burnt frazzle you need to be off at a car boot sale before heading back home for a barbecue, possibly …
I really really didn’t want to go to work today. It was just such a nice day and I could think of at least 47 better things to be doing here with my family instead. First thing Scarlett and I had a massive trying on session with all her clothes. That’s clothes from last summer …
Oh it is the season when I wake and I start sneezing and my eyes are really, really itchy too I have mascara streaks running down my cheeks and all that people say to me is ‘bless you’ I like the warmer weather and I really would never wish the summer over before it’s even …
another piece of junk mail from Park Resorts. I must get at least two pieces of mail from them a week trying to sell me a static in one of their parks from the time I book Kessingland each year until the end of the season. This has happened for the last three years – …
I worked all day today – the days I work always seem sooooo much longer than the days I don’t – possibly because I am actually up earlier but this morning feels a million miles away. Ady left at some ungodly hour as he was in Peterborough (or as he calls it Merryland) today and …
I should have stayed home today. Well actually I shouldn’t because the children had a good day and ‘retrospectively’ it wasn’t as bad a day as I felt it was being during parts of it but I was in a very impatient, intolerant and ranty mood and am probably best kept away from people at …
last night, so didn’t finish my IM chat with Lucy (sorry Luce!) or write a blog post. I can only assume in the way I’ve been hoping all the outside stuff and fresh air would tire the children into early nights (it hasn’t :roll:) it has indeed done it for me as I seem to …
