For some reason, I’m finding Christmas more of a struggle this year than I did last year. I’m not sure why, nor is it really from the perspective of ever last element of Christmas grating on grief like a raw and rubbing wound. This Christmas has some hope in it, which most certainly helps a […]
Midi Hama Bead Give Away
First of all, I’ve horribly late on my prize drawing of the Corolle doll but using my patented testing method of getting the girls to shout out a number and seeing who I actually heard, Aileen is the winner!!!! To get back on track, this next give away is running until Tuesday night only. This […]
Conversation Ed
Last week Fran handed in a science leaflet she had to write looking at health issues and ways of avoiding them or managing them. One element was smoking; I smiled when I saw what she’d written, which included lots about how the government couldn’t ban it because it would become an illegal trade in tobacco […]
That Social Whirl Called Daughters
Oh how I could laugh in the face of “how will they ever learn to socialise?” Our feet are not touching the ground for a moment, so busy are we hurtling from one social or sporting occasion to another. Just call us taxi drivers, quite frankly. Amelie had a lovely few days with her friend […]
29 Weeks Pregnant
It’s been a really hard couple of weeks. We’re fine; we’re all fine, me, Marmite, Max and the girls etc etc but none the less, we’ve been through the mill and back over the last week or so. It’s been horrible. It’s inevitable, I suppose; the girls are busy, work and therefore Max are busy. […]
Festive Dreamcatchers & Bead & Button Xmas Decorations.
Today we made a start on the festive crafting list I put together the other week. A friend found me some cheap metal bangles on eBay which I duly purchased and had a quick play with. This was my first go at a crocheted hoop, partly inspired by MollieMakes Magazine and partly from my Christmas […]
Hello baby
Trying not to think too hard about the fact that stress can harm an unborn child. Its been a stressful few days. Somehow I’m booked on a section list. That wasn’t quite what I meant to happen and now that I am, I am deeply sure that is not how I want this baby to […]
Unrecognisable to myself
I don’t know how old I was when I saw the film Philadelphia; I saw it at the cinema, with my friend who had a close family friend dying of AIDS at the time, contracted while working in Africa before anyone knew to be wary. We were teenagers. I don’t think I’ve seen the film […]
27 Weeks Pregnant
Time is marching on. Mostly, I’m still relaxed, though the worries about birthing this person are getting on top of me at times. Mostly Marmite moves enough to keep me sane. It’s a new experience though, this need to feel a movement any time I wake in the night and before I get up in […]
Home improvements.
A while ago I wrote about wanting to improve how the house looks a bit. A lot of this comes down to tidiness and decluttering and all that (I do try, it isn’t terrible!) but it needs some homely touches too. And most of that needs to come from things which can be pretty as […]
