… I am REALLY looking forward to Melrose this year. Feel more excited about it than any MP thing in ages.

So much for my plans… children didn’t need me! The kids are really self-sufficient these days, which is quite bizarre really. Such a big change from really not so long ago and definitely one of the big deals about this house; one of the massive upsides of more space and more room to spread out […]

Goodness. How time flies! Well, Xmas shopping is now well under way; rather pleased that i’ve managed to do all my shopping so far from WAHM’s or HEers businesses or occasionally my own stock catalogues, where i can get things that are just too delicious not to own!

Urgh. I can’t believe i’ve just finished packing parcels. I think i might leave and come back after Christmas; when am i going to find time to sleep? Ah well, yesterday i spent trying to master 1 section of Quickbooks (hahahahahahahahahaha 🙄 ) and putting my stock into it. Obviously this meant i then indulged […]

… i wish that i were back 8 years ago and had it all to do again. I wish that i had known how to birth and how to shine with effortless ease at that most basic skill. I wish that i was the mother i meant to be, wholesome, engaged and endlessly patient, never […]

…if you google for “hama bead pictures” i get a pretty good showing these days!
