“Mum… if we took walkie talkies to Narnia, would they work straight away or would people have to build stuff to make them work?” “Erm… i’ll find out and get back to you.” Anyone?

She loves these and is ever so good at them; i’ve really enjoyed watching her experiment over the last few days. Every time i get them out to play and experiment myself, i immediately get set upon by all the girls and hounded off. 😆 Today has been tough really; we’re cabin-feverish, i’m trying to […]

I’m having trouble getting ebay, google, bbc and flickr to load – is this justy me or has the internet died? Everything else seems fine….

In all the right ways. We’ve entered a period of HE that i feel really comfortable with and which i very much hope is the way we are heading. I think we’ve been in training for it for a while, in that fairly strict rules over the last year or 2 seem to have set […]

*rant alert* The Observer, Why Mothers Should be Offered Caesareans. Job to know where to start on that one, though “f*ck off you stupid, ill-informed Daily Mail style ‘journalist’ bint” might be quite a good start. 🙄 Judging by the comments on the Observer Blog quite a few people feel the same. Why shouldn’t we […]

I know i’m beginning to sound like a whinging parody of Joyce’s blog – but i’m ill again. 🙁 The low level chest thing doesn’t seem to have cleared up and by last nght i was sore, shivery, coughing and hot again. It doesn’t seem so bad today, although like Amelie i have earache, but […]

Yesterday Max bought Watership Down for the girls; now, leaving aside my “you can’t watch it till you’ve read it” obsessions, this would have been fine. Not so fine is that a) i was pretty sure Fran would bawl for England and b) well.. you’ll see. So this morning we heard them all get up […]

Easing back into the swing of things now, everyone seems to be rising up out of the ashes of illness, thank goodness. Josie would be a whole lot happier if some of her molars would come through, but i guess they will eventually. I do wonder what the evolutionary point of sore gums while teething […]

I’ve had a remarkably quiet day, the children all started playing a variety games early on and pretty much left me alone all day. Maddy and Amelie started off by opening a rollercoaster stand, complete with food stall, money, tickets and a rather alarming number of serious injuries to riders 😆 Still, i saw plenty […]

Feels so much brighter all of a sudden, doesn’t it? We actually had the back door open for a bit today and it made such a difference to feel fresh air around my nose. Today has been a “get set for March” day really, so while i could fake education, there hasn’t been a lot. […]
