Josie is a Star!

November 2, 2010 by

Well, okay, I was supposed to upload a picture of me; but really Josie the Titchy Witch is much more fun to look at anyway and if anyone needs their own laptop in this house, it’s Josie. After all, a girl has Penguins to play with and there is precious little time for doing so […]

Yesterday was mostly good

October 20, 2010 by

I don’t have photos. (I will take some!) However, after a morning of normals while I did a few work related jobs and the girls occupied themselves sensibly, getting on with things from their lists. Amelie and Josie then went back to a game they’ve been playing for a while; Amelie was “not well”, coughing […]

If there were a way to switch it off I would

October 7, 2010 by

Last night I dreamt about Freddie. We were a few months on and he was still in hospital and I was trying to split myself between him and the girls and working and everything else in my life and not doing a good job at all. And people kept asking me how he was doing […]

In between two weekends.

September 17, 2010 by

I do wish I could remember to blog more frequently about life, rather than about death. B- Must try harder. I spend a lot of time worrying about life, trying to keep things right for everyone and annoying people by going on about it, but not perhaps quite enough time living and doing it. Right. […]

More than a pair of socks

September 7, 2010 by

Here’s a nice picture of Freddie’s blanket. I made it big enough for him to sleep under as he grew – but he never did. But it has been such a comfort blanket – for me. I read the other day that an average pair of knitted socks has 34,000 stitches. I think this had […]

Pleased so far :)

September 5, 2010 by

First, the obligatory pox pic Not too bad, not ill at all and tonight is night 3, so hopefully over the worst. It’s nearly at her ankles and wrists now, so hopefully the worst is over. Amazing the way it spreads like that! I’ve done my piece of art to submit (it’s on flickr, I’ll […]

Generally Josie with Moderate Maddy

September 3, 2010 by

Poor Josie has woken up with Chicken Pox this morning, which is odd to say the least since it was only yesterday that, hunting back through my blog to make myself cry with what a 5 month old should be doing, I found these pictures of Amelie from after she had chicken pox (lord, don’t […]

Ever on and on.

August 21, 2010 by

The last few weeks have been building up to the three older girls having some time away from home; an opportunity arose for Fran and Amelie to attend a gym camp at a gymnastics centre some way from us, known to us slightly through a friend and a competition that Fran has done. We offered […]

No cake but what we make

August 18, 2010 by

This week Josie and Maddy have, at various times, made puddings and cakes. They are rather proud of them – and we all think they are very tasty. On a separate note, I’ve been mulling over the current trend of “sponsored posts” recently for one reason or another, not least that i recently took part […]

The Weekly Round Up.

July 24, 2010 by

Last Friday we went off to Wicksteed Park for the day. Not been for ages and the girls all really enjoyed themselves, mingling with friends and going on rides with them and with Daddy. I was happy just to mooch and watch them enjoy their half price wristbands; I’m not a fan of rides and […]
