Hurray, Hurrah, Ady’s on holiday!A good day today really all things considered. After going to sleep like a perfect angel last night Monster has been a perfect child (well as close as he’s ever going to get!) all day. By contrast Teeny has been a little testing but no more so that the average nearly …
General ponderings on a mixed day…Over to Julie’s today, but as we were out the house before 9am (I know, see we could even do school!) we went over to the local Matalan to their house on the hunt for further ponchos! Rachel has decided that she wants one for the new baby and Julie …

What’s going on?With my blog? All the posts start half way down the page. Don’t like it, don’t want it, don’t know how to change it…Grrrr
Ninth of the ninth, ninety nine…Nena (ninety nine red balloons), The Nolans…My last alliterative heading – mainly cos they were drifting away from being alliterative anyway and I had gotten bored. New game to commence with next posting.So 09/09/99 – five years ago today and the day we got married. Very self indulgent I know …
In the news today…was this article:http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,3-1252247,00.html possibly the most personally disturbing article I’ve seen on the whole tragic situation. and this : http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,172-1251796,00.html I am not an activist, I do not feel it is down to me to spread the word but I feel horrified that so few people are aware of HE as an …
From The Times – schools to be 10 hours a day proposalhttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1252764,00.htmlI was discussing this with Rachel today – even though her son does go to school. She used to be a nanny for wealthy parents and arrived before the child woke up and then the mother would arrive home after the child was bathed …

So below is the list:Letterland age 2-4 set of five books to start with Teeny and get Monster aquainted with the Letterland …
Light, laughter and love to all!Lionel Richie, Limahl, Lulu…Thought I would post while I am feeling all happy, upbeat and positive about everything just so my blog doesn’t turn into one long moan! The eagle eyed amoung you may spot a bit of a pattern to my moods (i.e. they improve when I have been …
Kids.Katrina and the waves, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool and the Gang, Kajagoogoo, Kylie Mingoue (ooh its a veritable feast of K acts!)So today got steadily worse really. Monster ended up being screamed at on average every ten minutes. In retrospect I should have simply given up and gone and played with them as …
From today’s Times – how parents are choosing boarding school as the cheaper option compared to childcare – Hmmmmm http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1249830,00.html
Juice, Jam tarts and Julie…Justin Heywood, Johnny Hates Jazz and The Jam…Last night – after managing not to inflict serious injury on either myself or one of my children (no mean feat I can tell you!) Ady finally got home at about 5.30pm whereby I escaped to get changed and then Julie arrived. By the …
Ikea and Insanity!Iggy Pop and Ian Dury…Ikea cos I’m going later and very fortunately it corresponds with the letter I in the alliterative titles challenge, but need to blog about insanity so have to use it now rather than after I have been!Today would have been Monster’s first day at pre-school, he would have started …
Home cooked roast, Happy families and Half past nine!Howard Jones, Happy Mondays & Housemartins…After retiring very early last night and sleeping through till 7.15am this morning Ady, by contrast had a rather worse night!
