I have this odd feeling that i’m peering out on the world through the proverbial holes in the sand, so i didn’t go mad today. We had our group first thing and i must say, it feels like a really nice group of people. We just need a venue. I was hoping that Activity World […]

Will it clear on its own, or do i need to go to the doctors?

When you get emails like this, you can’t help thinking that someone hasn’t REALLY looked through your site too carefully…. Dear Mr Fortune-Wood, I read the article in the Guardian today with great interest and I’ve looked through the Muddlepuddle site. You are doing a fine job! Although I don’t think we are mentioned on […]

I’m on a distinctly short fuse. Not sure why but i’ve done a fair bit of growling today. Its partly that i’ve got rather a lot on, partly that i can’t get the time together to do one thing i really NEED to do to make my business a lot better and partly that its […]

“Mummy, Muhammed and me are in true love.” Crumbs. Apparently it is love, at least judging by the expression on her face today when Auntie Kate asked about him .They aren’t getting married though as they are only children, that’s what she told Fran anyway.

If ever there is an optimum time for having a large tooth filling that takes half an hour and the anesthetic doesn’t take, 3 months after a caesarean where the anesthetic doesn’t work is not it :~( Wail. And Amelie has just been sick everywhere. Anyone want my children? Or my life? I suppose a […]

This is Maddy at the age Josie is now, in a babygrow Josie wore this week too (only filling it rather more fully!) I would be able to tell the difference, but only just. They are incredibly alike. Josie is sat by me coo-ing and talking to me. She is amazingly dribbly, chews her fists […]

Does it count that i answered Maddy’s “why do we have chins?” question today? Because aside from that we’ve just karted all day… girls are getting good though! Slightly horrified by the Pandora’s Cube i have unleashed, i have decreed that it has the same rules as the tv – not between 10am and 4pm […]
