Been a bit remiss really haven’t I? Tuesday – Bit busy really. A couple of months ago I decided I needed A Plan. So I made one. A multi-faceted one really but with one element being that I wanted a second pop at a career at some future point and having decided that 40 would …

Home and away
We were away this weekend, staying with Layla and Si on Saturday night where Ady and the children stayed with Si and Claudia while I went out for a meal with Alison, Layla, Ros and Sarah. And very nice it was too 🙂 I was still suffering with my cold and stiff neck/back/shoulder and feeling …
Beans means noise!
Up and out super early this morning to nip to the bank and then to Lidl for snacks and nibbles for a day filled with guests. Lucy, Rebecca and Richard arrived fairly shortly followed by Chris, Helen, Elinor and Alys. Davies and Elinor disappeared almost imediately together, Alys pottered and there were occassional moments of …
No more questions!!!!
We had a lovely time with Dayve here despite earliness to bed all round. He told us last night that he is getting ‘married’ to his partner which is excellent news as his previous two relationships had been really messily ended and left him quite commitment-phobic so it’s lovely that his new bloke – Nick …
well I couldn’t be accused of wallowing!
Woke after a dreadful night during which every single person I have ever met – and some I haven’t including a wide array of fictional characters – came to visit me in my dreams. Which were somewhat squashed by virtue of the fact I think I only slept for about half an hour between waking …
Wah!
I’m top to toe hurty today, partially by accident, partially by virus, partially by being female and partially by being silly. First thing this morning I was about to come downstairs with an armful of dirty washing and I dropped a sock. I bent down to retrieve it and smacked my head against the wall …
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made…
Took Davies off to Badgers while Ady and Scarlett did their Monday night bonding. I sat in the car reading my book – which was only a trashy chick lit but had a happy ending and made me cry 😳 When I went in to collect him the leader, assistant leader and the leader’s 16 …

Manic Mondays…
I’ve had loads of paperwork and phonecalls to make today, trying to switch all my direct debits over to a new bank account – so I have listened to the widest variety of hold music, automated dialling systems, been told how important my calls is and spoken to a wide array of call centres in …
Happy Birthday to…
Heather 🙂 Have a good day xxx
Family Day
We went over to Chris and Julie’s today for Jack and Maisie’s birthday party. They were 4 yesterday. We arrived to find slight bedlam with two lots of cakes cooked and burnt so Julie’s mum sent off to buy one cake with the third and final attempt still in the oven, Chris and Julie barely …
He who dares Rodney, he who dares…
You Are Bold And Brave But daring? Not usually? You tend to like to make calculated risks. So while you may not be base jumping any time soon… You are up for whatever’s new and (a little) exciting! How Daring Are You?

If You Were Born in 2893… Your Name Would Be: Vuis Umori And You Would Be: An Evil Space Warlord If You Were Born in 2893
Musical memories…
All the music has had me wandering down memory lane lots today, well I say wandering, mostly I was skipping and dancin’ in that ‘hey I might be overweight, the wrong side of 30 and look more than faintly ridiculous but I still got it’ way that embarassing aunts and mothers dance to Hi Ho …
It’s not true you know.
It’s really not.
And look at this…
Apparently it’s me as Totty, dancing to KLF! 😆 Except I’ve moved on to Nina Simone now and am counting megabloks ready to list on ebay.
Lovely Saturday morning
Ady is doing something to do with ring tones and MP3 downloads on his laptop, the children are playing with lego and toy animals, I’m sitting on the floor in the playroom surround by outgrown childrens’ clothes listing them all on ebay listening to a variety of music very loud on the cd player including …
X Box consultant pays a visit…
Ady worked from home today which initially caused additional stress as the children were constantly trying to leap on him, get him to run around after them and shouting across us whenever we tried to talk. And we fell out over me ‘helping’ him with what he was working on 😳 But we eventually settled …
This is becoming a habit!
Up, organised and out by 9.30am today, complete with two loads of washing out on the line. Days like these I can realise how people manage school 😉 Of course I did forget at least two things and needed to pop home unplanned in the middle of the day, but it was a good start. …
Like real home educators…
Had a really good day today with loads of stuff falling in our laps to talk about. Lucy was due to arrive at 10am – and Luce, really, promptness has gone from being a trait I admire in a friend to one which I could happily live without, so don’t ever rush 😉 – and …
