Davies has pushed me to previously unstood on brinks this week. Every so often one of the children seem to do this and this week it was his turn. 🙁 He’s been shouted at so many times this week I’m surprised I have any voice left. He just does not listen – well frankly you …

The badger thing…
I once heard someone somewhere say that they knew someone who had spent years trying to disprove the existance of badgers. Their case being that no one ever saw a live one or the few live ones which are spotted could infact me remote control models. Sure we’ve all seen dead ones by the side …
Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose…
My parents came over for dinner last night. As always seems to happen when they do my Mum came and chatted to me in the kitchen while I cooked and ended up having way too much wine (some people just shouldn’t try to match me glass for glass! 😉 ) and went through the entire …

Hmmm…
Bit of pondering here today. Lucy came over with Rebecca and Richard but the children took an age to shake down and get on with themselves. Infact they didn’t really manage it at all. I think the problem with my two is that they are very self sufficient – minor sibling scuffles aside they tend …
A soup day.
Last night echoes of my threatened violence if the coughing didn’t stop rang in my ears. Ady woke up around 1am, staggered down the stairs and was noisily and violently sick (sorry Sarah!) – I tried to block that out but suddenly heard a scared little voice saying ‘Nic, there’s blood in my sick’. So …

Tarly got the same as me – we are very alike but not like that 😉 Ady got this: Your Birthdate: May 13 You’re dominant and powerful. You always need to be in charge. While others respect your competence, you can be a bit of a dictator. Hard working and serious, you never let yourself …

Exasperated of Sompting…
Gah!!!!! 😈 Today. A day of frustrations, a day of wanting to smack my palm against my forehead, a day of wanting to have a remote control to aim at people to ‘mute’ them! Anyway… I finally went to bed around midnight, waking Ady up to go and sit with the mad piriton’d up dancing …
That’s not my fairy…
Her dancing is too funky 🙂 Me and Tarly are still up together and watching music channels on Sky. She’s a wee bit high on piriton, I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine and we’re doin’ dancin’. Currently on is Mambo No 5, which we had played loads and loads at our wedding reception …
And I don’t know if I’m being foolish…
Young Miss Goddard has a rash. When she was just over a year old she had a rash once before. It started on her torso and gradually spread out to her arms and legs, then her face and eventually her fingers and toes before it left. I took her to the doctors three times with …
Quiz…
in order to a) push the RSS breaking heart down so it don’t cause no trouble no more and b) for fun! None of the people who live here with me knew which child this was in the picture today. Do you?
Saturday night, dance, I like the way you move…
Hands up who knows the dance routine? 😉 Ady in still in the grip of ManCold and even took to his bed this afternoon in what I thought was a somewhat unnecessarily dramatic fashion! I overslept this morning after staying up far too late last night drinking wine and reading an old diary. I did …

I ♥ my Mum (sometimes!)
So we had all the autonomous learnin’ and stuff going on here today which was nice. 🙂 After my last post I went and did some muffinicity and baked bread and rolls for lunch. The rolls were made with brown flour which I have not used before and it’s a very different animal to the …
