Someone suggested doing a “skin tones” mix – i thought pink, flesh, beige, coffee and brown and also perhaps cream and/or pastel yellow – anyone got any thoughts? It’s a good idea, but i don’t want it to be too like my browns one (which has beige, coffee, burgundy, brown, winnie and dark brown.) Any […]

I’ve been so hungry today, i could have eaten the house. Must have been catching; Fran has eaten a bag of apples, Maddy gorged on toast, we’ve had a huge roast for tea! Almost everyone had two portions of porridge for breakfast too… i don’t know. Mind you, Max went out for some new clothes […]

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.

Tried to discuss something of utmost importance with Fran, which resulted in her sobbing uncontrollably at the mere idea 🙁 Did thank you cards (it isn’t just you Kris!) Pondered life a bit. Packed parcels. Didn’t otherwise do anything useful. I do like […]

… and i hadn’t had enough sleep, thanks to sudden onset molars from the Josie Division. Ah well. Other tooth news; Maddy’s brown teeth are not bad, just fluoride damaged/ damaged by illness during pregnancy. The thing is just an ulcer, and healing. She was brilliant at the dentists; leapt on the chair and behaved […]

Possibly one of the all round most enjoyable Portico visits ever. The highlight of the day was a well rehearsed and fabulously performed version of Jack and the Beanstalk – with Violet as narrator, Gwenny as Giant, Ernest and Buttercup as jack and Baby jack, Fran as the harp, Maddy as a golden goose who […]

Portico’s, Puddles and Beans today, all together on what has, i guess, been a fairly significant day in terms of the lives of friends elsewhere on the blogring. 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 […]
