My title was going to be “That was the day that wasn’t” but Tammy used it yesterday, so i found a new one! Today was Josie’s due date last year. As a reward, Fran and i picked her up a dolly while we were in town today. She’s been making off with Amelie’s for the […]

I’ve set up a group for Hama Bead Pictures. My plan is to use it to feed new ideas into BeadMerrily and i’d be most delighted if anyone who wanted to, would join. I’ve invited everyone who is on my contact list but i don’t have everyone on it. Obviously i’m going to be fairly […]

We “took in a movie” again today, this time Pooh’s Heffalump Movie. As we left, i said to fran “I’ll take you to the older girls ones next year, you are getting a bit big for films like that now aren’t you?” Cue shocked look from Fran. “Nooooooooooooooooo!” she said emphatically. Awwww…. bless her. She […]

I’ve just finished colouring my hair; i’ve been looking forward to doing it as i feel horribly dowdy and i thought the nice conditioned feel would help me last out till haircut day next week.

The Polar Express, not a film easy to describe really. I’m at a loss to know whether it was good or bad. Storyline, not too predictable but strangely unrounded, animation – would have been breath-taking 10 years ago but they got the people as wrong as the first Toy Story. Interesting article about it here […]

Maddy has made me laugh several times today and yesterday, the title being one (i think we may have a bit of work to do before she has “reading readiness” 😉 ) Even better was the conversation i overheard between her and Fran yesterday. Fran: “… so then i tried to get in with Daddy […]

I’m holding one, the terms are good, please email for details 😉 Ideally i’d like to have done it by 21st October 🙂

It has been amazingly foggy here for much of the day, felt despicably wintery. Could have completely done without going out, but when i asked Ams if she wanted to go to nursery, catching her mid excellent narnia game with sisters, i got a resounding “YES!!!!” – hm. So we took her and she fell […]
