Kipper cards all round!The hangover has abated – although I did resort to alka seltzer when the headache was still lingering at 1pm! We had our dinosaur biscuits for breakfast, then drove into the local town and waited ages for a parking space. We went to the local library – they looked me up and …

Three years olds are rubbish babysitters!That was yesterday’s lesson – more for me than the children but everyone says you learn along with them! Bad mother alert for those of a delicate nature – we were in the garden yesterday afternoon playing with the slide and the sandpit (well actually thats what the littlies were …
mummy didn’t feed me today cos she spent all day on her cooter so i’m really hungry and i need some appleYep, my little darling really did say that to Ady at bedtime tonight! Not true, although I did spent about an hour on the computer while Teeny was napping trying to get some work …
Ooh love these real weekends!It’s taking quite some getting used to having Saturdays and Sundays really – ever since we met me and Ady have worked weekends – obviously I havn’t since having Monster but he still did, so to have him finishing work at 4pm on Friday and not returning till Monday morning is …
evil bug strikes the Goddard homeYesterday was an erm, interesting one – for some obscure reason we thought it would be a good idea to go to work with Ady again. We tried to be sensible, we took the people carrier instead of his company car to prevent Monster from travel sickness and allow the …
the curse of summer Teeny is poorly! She has had a really evil cough at nighttimes and when she runs around too much during the day for well, weeks really. I have suspected asthma for some time but every time we have enough of a bad night waking up coughing for me to think about …
Still not a dinosaur day, but what a weekend!I did type up quite a long and (I thought!) witty update post on Saturday morning including the sparkly powder incident but blogger erm lost it somewhere so I will recall what I can, add to it and the sparkly powder will have to wait for another …
mainly a good one – but GRRR broadband!So today started well, having told Monster that no, it was not a dinosaur day and coped with resulting foot stamping and pouting we had to go to the post office so what better opportunity to visit yet another small town centre to see whether there are any …
Slowly settling back in…It is starting to feel like home again this week, we had a really good weekend with a trip to the dinosaur place (excellent place with huge planet earth dinosaurs to modern day man exhibition – we went round twice! with massive animatronic dinos and loads of educational information, outdoor gardens with …
Grrr! Nothing quite so simple as just moving back in and settling straight back into our old lives! Negatives out the way first then – the house feels so small – its like if you ever go back to your infant school years after you left and what felt like a massive great hall to …
WOO HOO! BACK ONLINE! Well its been a whole week and a very long one at that! Wednesday was full of last minute stuff, Thursday Lynda had the children at her house while we hoovered and polished as Pickfords emptied each room into their VERY big van (I even cleaned skirting boards, never before in …
ITS THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW NOW -EEK!Last lunch with Boss Lady today – quite emotional actually – no one cried but she and I were both pretty close and Ady spouted lots of silence filling nonsense so he is feeling it too! Will be in touch as I am carrying on working for her and …
FOUR DAYS AND COUNTING!! Another manic day in the countdown to the move! Today after a very warm weekend I decided the children *must* have summer shoes to be wearing – we had had their feet measured last week and they said they both had a couple of weeks left in their shoes anyway so …
An EXCELLENT day today to ‘celebrate’ our last weekend up here! We went to Tescos (dead classy us eh?!) for breakfast – that was a weekly thing for us on a Sunday morning before Atkins diet last year which we never took up again after Atkins finished! Kids behaved like angels, Teeny sat in a …
Just for the sake of getting photos on my blog and will even it up with some cute ones of Monster tomorrow, here is Teeny dressed as woody!and here is Teeny and I in Ireland recently.Pics of Ady and Monster to follow!
Urgh what a day! Starting off with the rest of the week so far – Thursday we did some work then walked into town, lovely day weather and family wise! Friday we planned to go to the local(ish) small scale theme park, Gullivers World, which is usually a fab day out – small scale rollercoasters, …
A really good day today after a really cr*p one yesterday! Yesterday we had Lynda to look after littlies while me and Ady went to boss lady’s house to collect some paperwork. Which we did okay, went and bought Ady a new jacket (always a trauma trying to get him to buy any new clothes …
The day of the move edges ever closer! Today we went to the City of Manchester stadium (where the Commonwealth Games where held and home of Man City FC) to get a photo of us all stood infront of it – the last place on our list of northern landmarks with the four of us …
More of a test to see if the comments thingy is working than anything to report! Just got back from ‘our last night out in Manchester’ very early as the restaurant was quiet, we were seated and ate early and frankly I was a bit drunk by 9pm! Had a great day today – went …
Leap Pad continues to be a best buy here – the Toy Story 2 book I ordered off ebay arrived this morning as did a Dora book ordered from some collecting tokens deal in one of the tabloids my brother reads – so an exciting post for Monster today! Lynda has been here for the …
