Actually i am sure there was more too but… last night i read the story of King Alfred and the Cakes to Fran and Maddy. It was so great to see Fran’s face light up as she recognised facts from the previous weeks timeline activity in the story – she was so thrilled to “know” […]

Odd sort of a day in some ways, Christmas holidays come early really. Started the day by joining up with other local Puddlers who mostly, oddly enough, are not actually on MuddlePuddle at Activity World. Would go elsewhere except we don’t have anywhere else really. Anyway, it was extremely nice and we;’ve sort of decided […]

… a line from the back of a box (bought under extreme duress and distress) in Toys R Us tonight. Both girls, NEEEEEd the horrific Barbie singing princesses from The princess and the Pauper and given they requested almost nothing else, i gave in.

I think this may have been why yesterday was so horrible. I just woke up in one of those “this time 4 weeks ago” moods and felt hopelessly sad for most of the day – “this time 4 weeks ago it was all still going okay…” etc etc – plus i’m sure i just had […]

Horrible day – i’ve spent it with my boob in one persons mouth while being shouted at by three others.Yuk.
