On Monday i sourced a load of ridiculously cheap small boxes; it was only an extra £1 to get another 50 and i’m ever so glad i did because not only are they the perfect size for a very typical and difficult to pack regular order, but they also make the perfect box to divide […]

So who is going to do Nanowrimo with me this year? 🙂 I’ve got something in mind for myself, of a sort of mock “Cider with Rosie” type thing. Anyone recommend any other similar books i could read to get myself in the mood?

Our desktop was fine this morning, then i went in and found it completely dead. I managed to get it as far as the first dos screen once, but now i can either get no response from the on button at all or all that happens is a bit of whirring and then a flicker […]

One leg over the side of her cot. Bother. Nice day today; i got up to find that Fran had already done some blogging and they were all happily bwading away. Deteriorated briefly into shouting about mess and ignoring me, then we went out and picked up the pottery (Alison, they are lovely!) and on […]

You Are 64% Control Freak You are a pretty major control freak, though you may not know it. While your confidence is inspiring, your bossy ways tend to scare people off. Are You A Control Freak? When i was being less honest i only got 52% 😳

Another shortie. Still feeling like i’m nursing us back to health as a family unit somehow but i do know it is working. Sometimes i wonder why a side effect of pregnancy (or at least of repeated pregnancy) can’t be a spare arm. Lord knows i could use it better than my spare tyre. 🙄 […]

….4+1 is mayhem 🙂 Quick blog as i’m trying to get back into the habit but i’ve got a heap of work to do; todays order count ended up at 10, a lot for a monday, plus the 8 that came in overnight or late yesterday that are still sitting on my desk ready for […]

Last week we moved Fran in with Josie, aiming to give her a bit more space from the noisy melee. It worked, but we didn’t bargain on quite how much Maddy was going to be hacked off about being left with Amelie 😕 So this weekend we embarked on another great hoick about and the […]

Last night marked a definite change in “sleepover” style. This house certainly is more suited for absorbing extra people, but Alison and i have really noticed a change; aside from Josie, there just isn’t the stream of people who need servicing anymore. They occupy themselves, read and talk in rooms, play games, get themselves food […]
