Striking a balance…On the downside (I always get the bad news first when offered the choice!) I have done a bit of shouting today, but not loads and I don’t feel quite so out of control or liable to be opening the door to Esther Rantzen and the Childline team come to berate me and …

Ever get the feeling…?you watch too much kids TV? Today I found myself getting all offended and affronted by the fact that the new babies on Dora are way too advanced for their age. They can’t talk and they still eat baby food but they are able to row a boat, oh and of course, …
why does my blog have more ‘nice’ s than your average episode of the Fast Show hmmm?Just a quick mid afternoon blog to say what a nice day we are having so far today. This morning started with both kids arising at about 6.45am – yep that’s right folks Scarlett went through the night in …
Who gave that man a screwdriver?Now it’s not often I’ll blog ranting about Ady – he is generally an all round top bloke / love of my life / fantastic father etc etc etc….but, frankly he should stick to his pinny and leave the tool belt to others. We all have strengths in different areas, …

Blogger did it again – wordpress is looking more likely by the day!Did a big old post late last night and it came back as server not found and then the whole thing just got lost off in cyberspace somewhere…:-(Anyway, it was along the lines of:Signing off for a while for the Dorset trip. Sure …
Argh, bloody blogger ate my post 🙁Well I had been talking about how digging our your ‘How To’ manual on Ark building and finding a matching animal to yourself was in order here in Sussex today. Last night saw an okay end to a pretty crappy day. After my grey post we walked round to …
It’s all grey 🙁My frame of mind, the weather, the finances, the children’s ability to play nicely or without constant supervision, the amount of sleep I’ve not had and finally whatever the next few months brings….Self pitying whine ahead, you may want to hit next right now and go see what cheerier stuff Wellyboots have …
Today we have been mostly playing at home…I havn’t even been on my oncooter much (Davies’ word for the computer).First thing (and as we were all up by 7 it really was by 9am – truly first thing!) we shot into town for a couple of hours. It was really pretty cold (even I would …
Top Weekend!We have had a really nice weekendy type weekend. Cos Ady (and for many years me too!) have always worked at least every other weekend having two whole days off in a row is still a real novelty for us – the concept of ‘Friday night’ as the end of the working week is …
Ady and some ‘ladies’…
some serious splashing going on!
