Manning all stations single handedly fear not folks I will keep blogging for the good of Queen and Country, for the love of the written word and for the sanity of those who cannot move without coughing ’til they vomit and therefore require entertaining 24/7 by the inane ramblings of some loon on the Sussex …

Scarlett had marmite sandwiches and ‘red’ hula hoops washed down with orange juice. She arranged all her sandwiches into a tower (they were cut triangularly) and put a sea of hula hoops around them – I think we’ve been watching too much Masterchef Goes Large here 😉 She ate all the hula hoops by putting …
Weeellll I’m glad I didn’t pay £35 for it 😉 But it is quite good. Predictably it’s tiny tubs of the stuff, you could fit the contents of one tub inside a mug and for 20 quid you got one of each colour – pink, green, yellow and blue. It is indeed pretty much just …
Scarlett and I parted company around 1am and she remained lovely to the end – I said ‘I’m off to bed now Tink’ (short for Tinkerbell, one of the child’s many many names) so she reached up, gave me a kiss and a cuddle and said ‘sleep tight Mama’ and off I went. She did …
But the child I just blogged about adoring is testing me somewhat by having been awake for two hours after being asleep for three 🙁 She’s in bed, but only cos I’m sat on the floor next to the bed and she’s being charming but lets face it there are very few people anywhere who …
I *think* I’ve done quite well today. I got my work done, I spent ages on the phone to a friend musing over all sorts of things and came away feeling very energised, my inbox remains empty, I did some reading with Davies, I fulfilled the childrens’ request to play with them with the geomags …
You Are Krusty the Clown You were the class clown as a kid, and you still entertain people. From faking your own death to getting a wacky boob job, you’ll do anything for a laugh. You will be remembered for: your face being everywhere, from cereal to home pregnancy tests Your life philosophy: “I heartily …
I will not read green eggs and ham I will pretend to be reading by running my finger underneath the bits I know by memory in a cunning and deceptive manner which looks for all the world to the casual onlooker as though I have graduated from Mat On Sam, Sam On Mat to Mouse …
All emailed across and complete and by lunchtime on the deadline day which wasn’t too bad considering how much time I spent putting it off 😉 I’ve been on the phone to the YHA folk and that was far more complicated than the last time I did it. Seems Rentahostel is now called Escape To… …
This morning seemed to disappear really but reading back over my own and others blogs I have a sneaking suspicion where it went! 😉 I’ve been casting around on the rentahostel site and have a shortlist of middle of the country type YH which are available during October and have 40ish beds. I’ll ring them …
Ady and I were chatting about Kessingland yesterday. I know we can probably raise the funds to come, particularly if we tent it but with it being a shade earlier than last year it is very unlikely that Ady will be able to come with us. After the hiatus that was Hesfes for me I …
Was spent sat behind the laptop really. I even had a complaint registered from Davies about it! 🙄 The children continued their geomag game and extended it into some sort of going on holiday game. I did manage to do one of the 4 CVs I have to do which was fairly crap of me …
Further to some discussion with people last week and some chatting with Ady on the way home from Melrose we were thinking of doing a Youth Hostel version of last year’s Halloween Party. Half term in Devon (to accomodate our school attending friends 😉 ) is 23-27th October which ties in about right for Halloween …
Nah nah nah nanah!
That’s me, a veritable bumble bee with all my buzzing with busyness today! Yesterday was nice although I was fairly glad to wave Ady off to work again today. Too much confined space with children being way too clever about playing parents off against each other! 🙄 If he were home all the time I’m …
which has gotta be one of the most stumbled over phrases in the language I reckon 😉 It’s been rather a long day today, which makes me all the more glad it was not preceeded by a 500 mile journey home yesterday. Tarly didn’t sleep well, infact she woke up around 11pm just as I …
When I’ve not been grring all over the place it’s been a fairly ok day. Very quiet which I think was much needed. The children have reconnected with each other which has been nice to witness. They don’t often spend so much time apart from playing with each other as they did last week and …
Will be back later with the rest of the day but needed to ARGHHHHH!!!!! and would rather it got knocked down by a cheerier post later than was the total of the day’s ramblings. Grrr no. 1 – my Dad kindly agreed to repaint our lounge and Davies’ bedroom while we were away. We moved …
You Are 36% Abnormal You are at medium risk for being a psychopath. It is somewhat likely that you have no soul. You are at medium risk for having a borderline personality. It is somewhat likely that you are a chaotic mess. You are at medium risk for having a narcissistic personality. It is somewhat …
But first of all, some photos – for those of you who are after the brief version of my life here is the last few days in pictures instead of words! My Melrose Ady’s Melrose although in fairness Ady actually took all of the photos but he gets to flickr the arty ones and I …
