Taking a week away before Xmas is probably not a terribly sensible thing for a toy retailer to do! Should have thought 🙁 I did a shed load of parcels at midday, took all my stock back to my lock-up (which is number 1001, sort of room 101 but bigger :shock:) and came home to […]

Phew. The days have felt really long this week, dunno why. I daresay it’s just post-illness nerg, i just can’t seem to get warm and it makes me want to sit still and vegetate. What was i doing this time last year? I don’t remember feeling like this. Oh yeah, sitting still and breastfeeding all […]

Sob. I’ve just crunched the front bumper of the car on a low post. Howl. What is wrong with me at the moment? The hob has a gas leak and the cupboard under it smells of gas, the agents aren’t ringing back and i’m about to go and hide under the table. Can’t decide if […]

Thanksgiving was excellent and when Tammy and Sam had gone we settled down to a day of benign neglect, while i tried to afford myself a bit of headspace, which i was feeling much in need of. Kids weren’t entirely of the same mind and kept coming and asking to learn things/be taught things/do things. […]

www.flickr.com Lovely morning and early afternoon with Tammy and Sam. We read the story of Thanksgiving (at least Tammy did while i ran about doing stuff!) then we did some crafts in the form of some DLTK cut and stick stuff. I was feeling rather less inspired than i had intended but it was okay. […]

Better day today. Fran didn’t wake up till 9am (unheard of!) by which time i’d been down a while and got some jobs done. So we started well and it’s been a nice day. First we read “A Farm through Time” which we all really enjoyed and was a rather fantastic everyone snuggled up to […]

Who’s been indoctrinating my daughter???? 😉 She and Maddy are playing “scarf ladies” – Amelie is going for the total neat approach whereas Maddy is wearing her’s with style. Lol. And especially for Hannah, Maddy’s version 🙂

www.flickr.com Especially for Alison, when she returns 🙂 I found a photo of Amelie in this top at the weekend, she was nearly 2. Josie is all but grown out of it now. Chubbychops 🙂

The one where Merry gets back to the point. I think this year has been the most significant yet in terms of our HE life. It’s been the one where i let go of some things and picked up some others that i had shed because i listened outside before i listened inside, an acceptable […]

…will post its 600th parcel since turning into the new version of shop tomorrow, which is just slightly less than 9 months is not bad going really i suppose, especially when you think its been closed for 6 weeks of that and i’ve not yet done a December with the shop either. Feel very proud […]
