… anyone with a BM account who feels inclined to leave me some nice product reviews would be very popular and stands a chance of winning some nice £5 kits during June 🙂 Also, normal stuff for camp (which i have now booked!) – anyone want beads or fun blox, feel free to ask and […]

Chapter Two: In which the Snork Maidens get a pink slip, Fran-kin discovers maths is fun and Itch outgrows Dora. Fran and Maddy have made it out of Level One in their swimming lessons; no surprise given their ages, but good anyway. They were both delighted. odd system; they now do 3 more weeks in […]

In Chapter 2 of Finn Family Moomintroll Moomintroll climbs under the Hobgoblin’s Hat and suffers something of a seachange, turning all his fat bits thin (sounds like a plan actually) and all his cute bits ugly (in fact, if that works in reverse, i’m starting to think i could use a Hobgoblins hat!) To his […]

I’ve had 900 in the last few minutes, making that three lots of 800+ i’ve cleared out since 8.30. I can’t go throguh them so if anyone was in there, i missed you, sorry 🙁 AND… i’ve added words like slots and spray to my blacklist, so those are disappearing without me ever seeing them. […]

7.00am – Max brings me a cup of tea, i spent 20 minutes on my AC town waking up, a sleeping Maddy on one side of me. 7.30am – go and make a start on the parcels from the weekend (printed off last night), stop occasionally to look at blogs, list stuff on ebay, do […]

In which Raymondpappa nearly gets his head blown up, Frankin meets a toad and Itch learns all about Swiss neutrality. (Yes, we’re still reading the Moomins!) Lovely couple of days; spent yesterday replanting lots of the things we brought from the last house into the garden (how i love having topsoil without weed seeds in […]

Your type is: infp —The “Tuned In” Mother “Inside our children, I believe, is a truth that tells them what’s best for them. I am always listening for that truth.” * Aware, astute, and understanding, the INFP mother is sensitive to her child’s needs, feelings, and perceptions. By observing and listening to the cues of […]

Today i needed a break, a day without constant demands on my brain. Yesterday seemed to be one of those days where everything just reach unmanagable proportions; too many questions, too many asks, too many bits of stuff going on, just too much noise. So today Max shut me in my office (oh hurrah for […]

Took the girls out to the local HE group today since we’ve been a bit too housebound recently. it was an African drumming and singing session and it was great. Can’t say i’d ever noticed the the reason African music sounds so different is because it mixes all sorts of beats into one, rather than […]

Life is feeling almost idyllic here for people. I can hardly believe the level to which our general life stress has dropped. The extra room really makes such a difference, though i think the £260 we spent on parcel collection has possibly made as much difference as the £200k we spent on the house 😆 […]
