Saturday we vegged, tidied a bit and played Animal Crossing in a big pile on my bed. Sunday we tidied, vegged, went out for some long cycle rides (i ache!), tidied some more, sorted a lot of washing, threatened the children with dire eventualities if they continued to leave all the clean clthes they had […]

Final splash course this morning; girls all sad to be finishing, but pleased that new sets of lessons start next week, with Ams joining the afternoon sessions too now. On the way Maddy and i talked about how she was getting on and she decided to ask to do her 10m badge. Anyway, Fran was […]

I’m starting to think that waiting till i can backdate myself is probably silly, so i’ll give up and do a very quick one! After my busiest ever weekend on BM again, we finally got away to Devon for a few days. Managed to spend some time with Sarah and co, albeit briefly as we […]

Things that scare me Terrorists Lightening My family ever coming apart People who make me laugh Um…. (haven’t laughed much recently)… my children Terry Prachett Most recently, Wendy Things I hate the most People who don’t learn from their experiences People who don’t use their brakes to slow down Motorway driving in rain Things I […]

Mainly as BM has been mental again and i’ll be working till goodness knows when. Eeek. The redesign and the swap to the dot co dot uk ending seem to have worked rather well. Almost too well in fact 😯 In fact, this week i’m talking to a friend about coming to work with me, […]

Josie is coming on in leaps and bounds; gems this week have been “I love you mummydaddy” and “i not like it hand” when we tried to help her up a hill and particularly nicely (though perhaps not at the time when she was hollering at us across the room at 2am) “I want nudder […]

Just about a year ago i set up a more private blog just to use for rants that didn’t seem wholy appropriate to a blog on an HE ring; i didn’t use it for ages and ages, then it came into its own when we were debating moving, so i could rant about house buying […]

Maddy and Fran were fab in their show; Maddy was absolutely fantastic, so at home performing and (IMHO) the best in it. Her teachers were chuffed to bit with her and i positively glowed to see her. Pictures for friends and family on flickr, as they have other peoples kids in them, but unfortunately i […]

I just had my busiest weekend EVER – 27 orders from beginning to end, all decent sizes (WHY did i not sell jars of beads before?) and 6 big enough to require a courier. Wet summer suits me! I’ve just finished, having packed intermittently all weekend – thank goodness the children are being self-sufficient today […]
