I know it’s technically a carol – well that’s what it said on the lyrics site I got the words from, and I know I don’t have any religious beliefs. But every so often I can feel moved and a weeny bit spiritual about why the world still turns and whether we do have all …

woolly of head
Everything is through a fog today and seems to be happening in s l o w m o t i o n . Think we’re going out to the town and will see if a bracing walk along the seafront clears the clouds away. If not I might just have to go to bed this …
We wish you a Wombling Merry Christmas
Grabbed one of the plethora of Christmas cds we own as I left the house this morning in order to fill my car with festive spirit on the way to Ali’s house, well to try and drown out the sound of coughing from the back anyway. So there I was, driving along, singing as I …
Urgh
I’m having a relapse today and feeling really quite crap 🙁 I think I probably staved it off last week by drinking and now it’s come back to bite me on the bum! Still, I’d rather be ill now than have missed out on last week so I guess I’m OK, and at least I’ll …
seven things…
to do before I die: 1 – Go Christmas shopping in New York 2 – Drive a HGV 3 – write my name in the sand on a beach at every ocean 4 – see my children fully grown and happy 5 – Renew my wedding vows in the same chapel, hopefully with all three …
Hark the Herald Angels Sing..
It’s been a quiet day here today really, which I think was pretty much all any of us were up for. First thing I took Tarly off with me to Sainsburys to brave the crowds and do the weeks food shopping. I’m sure it’s just having her alone without Davies to wind her up and …
Point proved,
Now we can return to normality! We took Tarly’s dummies away last weekend. She’s managed really well without them all week despite being a bit poorly and away from home but the last two nights she has still be asking for the same thing while half asleep ‘I want to go home’ – obviously while …
Come and join the celebration…
Blimey that was a good week 🙂 Monday – Had a really good journey all the way down to Devon and arrived a full hour early. Ady had been worried that the person driving the car behind us might be pissed off with his erratic driving as we swerved left and right following our route …
Birthday Monitor Says….
Happy 3rd Birthday Scarlett for Tuesday 6th. Have a wonderful day darling 🙂 xxx Happy Birthday Jax and Alison for Wednesday 7th. Looking forward to spending your birthday’s with you 🙂
Early birthday post…
As we’ll be away for Tarly’s birthday next week. We’ll be sharing the occassion with some of you, which will be lovely 🙂 Tarly was born at home at 1.51am on Friday 6th December. Davies slept through the whole event and woke at about 4 am just as the midwives left. He was pleased to …
There’s a woman on the outside looking inside does she see me?
I’m fairly confident that today has been lovely, I just don’t feel like I’ve been participating in it much in spirit, although I was there in body. Crap night with Tarly who arrived in our bedroom before 1am. 🙁 After about 15 minutes of her trying to engage me in conversation I snuck off to …

‘Tis the season…
Spectacularly unsuccessful four f*cking hours spent in the kitchen baking. I made two birthday cakes for Tarly, both of which rose beautifully and then stuck to the tins, I knew I could cover the damage with icing but put too much food colouring in one of the batches of icing so it is a very …
What’s that about then?
My blog is censoring me! I have found three words it simply will not let me post and can’t work out how to stop it from being so Mary Whitehouse about the whole thing!
The sun comes shining through…
Hmm, a good stuff / bad stuff type of day today really. I’ve done my share of ranting at small people, but we’ve also done lots of nice stuff too. First thing we gathered up all the library books in the house (of which there were many, many of), then we all sat down and …
My new best friend…
the kitchen timer! Not for being some sort of Nigella you understand, but for giving added gravity to my threat of ‘anything not tidied away in the next five minutes will be going in the bin’!!!!!
weather wise it’s such a lovely day
Ady bought the advent calendars for the children this year. I’ve not said anything but I don’t really like his choice although I do understand why he got them. When we were children we shared an advent clalendar, it always had some sort of festive scene on it, sometimes it was a nativity, sometimes it …

more on this later, but wanted to note this link while I remember:
Geese are all lardy in our house…
As in Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat (although actually that could be less in relation to the goose putting on extra pounds itself and more that the Christmas shopping list has been shared out between all the creatures and they are all off out making purchases – Christmas is coming, the goose …
Que Sera Sera
When I was a just a little girl I asked my mother what will I be? Will I pretty, will I be rich? Here’s what she said to me: Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be The futures not our’s to see, que sera sera. Or will it? I’ve never subscribed to any life …
