Post holiday blues and hormones all at once combining to make me feel like a heap of poo. I know its just that, but boy was today a candidate for the Heap of Poo Award. However, as an aside, i will just add that the day was mainly saved by going to visit Tammy and […]

Just phoned ntl and said i was paying too much for my broadband and wanted to leave. Instant reduction from £25 to £10 a month. Bargain. Also reduced our tv package to Basic, which saves £10 and only really loses us Dora; i’ll get her as dvd 😀 Going to spend some time looking at […]

I started clearing out baby clothes today. Not something i’m going to find particularly easy i don’t think, today i didn’t even get as far as the really precious stuff and it made me cry. Even if i come to some kind of sad settlement within myself that number 5 will never happen, i think […]

I’ve started reading Lemony Snicket. Saturday was a wind down day, pleasently spent, after Max and i had cleaned the house, in the company of the Clarkes.

Catching up; life without broadband is occasionally complex but rather liberating 🙂 Yesterday had a different feel but was nonetheless pleasant. We pottered in the morning, took Fran and Abbie to the museum for a workshop in the pm (while Max took the others to do a museum box) and then went to Exmouth in […]

Yesterday was the kind of Saturday that could fill my life and i’d be perfectly and completely happy. We had a garden day, with 2 BBQ’s and a whole heap of people i love milling around. First of all BIL and SIl with their girls, then the Clarkes with their brood and a bit of […]
