cute pic of the kids in our bed yesterday morning
Sarah’s Friday Four well everyone else is doing it so I might as well join in!! 1. How many times have you moved house in your life (now, work out the average number of moves per year of your life … !! We all know Merry is a hot favourite for the most here but …
A much better day – even quite a productive one! Have spent the whole day sat on the lounge floor with the laptop going through all the free local papers and the county wide parenting mag getting all the details from the people who advertise in them, I know I will be cheaper than them …
my logo – think it might come out rubbish but you’ll get the idea!
and….relax! I was a pretty crap Mummy today really, both kids really created cos I was on the computer or the phone most of the day. I did try and be patient but tended to do more shouting and stomping and crying than educating or being kind, caring and the sort of mother who would …
serious wobbles at our house! Have just ‘come down’ from having a bit of a moment! Finances seem to be going from bad to worse – just got some redirected mail from old address and discovered that Ady’s tax code has been changed due to his company car and he now gets no personal allowance …
Mean old shouty mummy, that’s me! Pretty pooh day really although I don’t actually feel too down about it. Went to the bank first thing to transfer money about – without going into too much detail we are financially in a bas position at the moment – Ady took a pay cut when we moved …
Socialisation? sometimes you just have too much of it! Mad, mad weekend really – after the guests who just didn’t leave last night we dragged ourselves out of bed and packed the picnic for a day out with Chris and Julie – we were half an hour late and when we pulled up at their …

Monster and one of his most favourite things
Livin La Vida Loco Been to see Shrek 2 and it’s great! Had another nice day today – will blog some piccys of today and yesterday with the dinos tomorrow when I download the camera. A lousy night last night – Teeny woke at about 11 and stayed that way till nearly 2am – I …
Where are we going? (clap, clap, clap) dinosaur place! Yep, thats right, we finally got there! But first…yesterday! Thursday – yesterday morning, erm not a lot actually! Teeny had a decent morning nap for once, and I finally got round to sorting out our tax credits and some other boring paperworky stuff. and did some …
NEWS FLASH! Forgot to blog yesterday how proud I was with Monster for getting dressed himself yesterday. Getting dressed and undressed is one of those things I’ve never really given much focus to really – always seemed quicker to just grab em and do it myself but lately Monster has been getting himself undressed and …
socialisation – check, education -check, paranoid mother reassured by printing off the National Curriculum – check! Another good day. We got up lateish which was nice (by lateish I mean 7.30am which by my own definitions is now late, four years ago would still have been the middle of the night!!), had breakfast and got …
B is for Buzz Lightyear, Bob the Builder, Boots (from Dora), blue, beach, bed, book, ball, bell, banana… Monster chose the next letter for his letter scrapbook and decided (seemingly quite at random) that it would be b ‘for box’. Despite Teeny not having a sleep today and me suddenly deciding to tidy the playroom …
Which little finger did it bite? Today we went to the Blue Reef Aquarium as part of an Activeo event. We arrived at Southsea at 10am, an hour early as I didn’t know for certain how long it would take and we were all ready to leave before nine so we did! We parked right …
A crap night but a good day! Total musical beds last night, Monster arrived in ours at about 1.30am to be joined by Teeny at about 3am. Bed far too crowded for four, particularly as it was a hot night. By about 4.30 both kids who were in the middle between us were awake and …
