A long belated bloggy…. We spent last week at Centerparcs, a holiday treat that is now established in our family calendar. There would be a mutiny on our hands if we didn’t do it i think, it is something that the children look forward to very much indeed and so do we. Somehow, it is […]

How evil are you? So WHAT did Jax put then? 😆

Maddy is trying at the moment…. trying everything. The once mess-hysterical girl has taken to gravy, stuffing, tomato sauces, cottage pie – you name it. I am proud of her, messy food has been a big deal for so long. Hurrah for Maddy. Amelie has finally got over her reaction to another milk product – […]

Gap number one for daughter number 2. I do wish i could get her to pose for photos though 🙄

Slow day. Should have tidied, but didn’t. Lay on sofa and read.

I’m glad they were all together today as i think hearing that good friends were returning to school threw them all for a bit of a loop […]

How a 2am finish has meant i’m up at this time i do not know…. 🙄 We spent quite a bit of yesterday just sorting and tidying, thoguh quite a bit of conversational ed happened at the same time, notably a conversation on the making of matches. Can see a topic there, if the moment […]
