Drop Dead Fred was one of the first films Ady and I watched together. I don’t recall how or where or why particularly but we called each other ‘snotface’ affectionately for years afterwards and infact occassionally still do. This morning while trying to find Spider for D & S to watch at their request Ady …

Badger, badger, badger…
It has been brought to my attention today that there are really people out there, existing among us who have a computer and a working email address but only check their inbox on a once a week basis. Yes that’s right people, ONCE A WEEK! Now you or I can hardly comprehend such carelessness I …
Ooh er…
Talked to my mum about starting a new group yesterday, just as a real life, no personal interest type sounding board and managed to get quite excited about it again – clearly unfinished business there then! This morning I have had a couple of scary letters so I bit the bullet and made a couple …
Crazy for trying….
Today I have revelled in my mother’s generosity and loved every minute of it :-). But first, why I might well be crazy for trying… Since Christmas I think I must have been contacted by about 20 families via the EO website where I am listed as a local contact for our town. I probably …
Me and my girl, car bootin’
I had this plan to go to bed all early and sober last night. I blame Ali for it not happening 😉 So I was not as enthusiastic about getting up with the children at 6.30 this morning as I perhaps could have been, so Davies actually said ‘I’ll look after Tarly Mummy’ and swept …
Fun 🙂
Probably not much really….
I fully rewarded myself for all the hard work feeling like Snow White living in a house full of little people yesterday with large quantities of white wine. Ali caught me on IM for a first flush of giddyness and general nonsense around 7pm and I enjoyed the cyber equivalent of a girlie night out …
And, relax!
So really, people genuinely do this for a living? Really?! Actually it has been altogether far less gruesome that I was imagining it was going to be. I’ve managed to spend oodles of time online having very serious and intelligent input on message boards and IM, tracking down links to illustrate my points properly and …
Exit, phase one!
No bloodshed, no tears, no bodily fluid related spillages. Have just returned the house to normality and we await phase two!
Obviously I wouldn’t want to speak too soon, but…
I think I may have found my vocation. Lost in the wilderness all these years fannying about with retail management, recruitment, marketing and latterly of course blog entrepreneurialism I have seen the light. I have heard my calling…. tomorrow I start my course to become a registered childminder!
First in a series…
They’re here! Already been out on a mercy mission this morning towing my Dad’s van (again!) 🙄 We put away all the various things the children deemed ‘too precious’ to have played with by other children and we built a great big brio track and got out the Dora house. J & M arrived, Julie …
Tick those boxes and give me a certificate!
I made a deal with Scarlett last night. If she wants to sleep in our bed she can but it means she has to give her dummies up. Of course this could have backfired big time but I was trading on how much she adores her dummies. And guess what? It worked! 🙂 She appeared …

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind…
D’you know I reckon I’ve got the hang of this Home Ed lark. Well at least until tomorrow 😉 We’ve had another good day here today although I did lose my temper with Scarlett and yell once I don’t think it was entirely unjustified and blimey did it make her move! 😈 First thing the …

Made me laugh today…

Fat Tuesday :-)
I was mid post and the laptop crashed when I put the photocard reader in 👿 So, I had mentioned how nice an evening we had last night with Frazer. Just chit-chat, wine drinking, very good curry if I do say so myself (loving my slow cooker 🙂 ) but all very pleasant. Dreadful night’s …
Interesting….
this one.
Glimpsed in the side bar
She was a gorgeous baby really, but this wasn’t her best photo. Doesn’t she look like Ady though?
Ooh, like this :-)
Thanks Kath 🙂 My window-y thing is here, please pop along and join in! And for anyone who’s in a picky frame of mind 😉
It’s just another laid back Monday…
It’s been a pretty nice day today actually. The children have been really, really well behaved, which means I’ve managed to remain calm, patient and loving all day and it does make such a difference if I’m not watching the clock from about 3pm gagging for my first glass of wine and for them to …
Birthday monitor knowing that they’ll be drinking tequilla in Reading tonight says…
Happy Birthday Layla 🙂 Have a fab day darling!
