First day back after a holiday always feels like a weird one, but Fran asking for maths before i was even out of bed is something of a new one on me! I’d promised to do some of the MEP year 7 stuff with her so we printed that off and did the first few […]

Or in this case, good friends became good neighbours 🙂 HGow to remark upon this holiday? The MuddlePuddle camp i took no part in planning and no responsibility for and barely managed to make myself turn up to. Well, embarrassingly, that seemed to mean it was the greatest success so far, for which there are […]

I broke Peterborough today, i really did. (Well, okay i didn’t, but i’m short on blogging material, so go with it.) I went into the Post Office in the little village near us, put my card into the cash machine and as i put it in, i switched the electricity off. it just went… szoomh… […]

Can’t think of one anyway. Yesterday morning got all thrown out by the router clamming up on me. Took a tediously long time to fix and threw everything; Maddy couldn’t get on EC, neither could Fran, nor could she do Florence, i couldn’t stamp my orders. Oh it all went wrong. And of course fixing […]

… thanks in the main (except Amelie’s at the moment and you can tell because it doesn’t have a lovely fuzzed out background like his does!) to PappaPricey who took delicious photos as normal 🙂 I’ve taken the unconcerned nod of assent at the weekend as permission for use 😉 and given i vaguely recall […]

I’m back!!!! It’s okay, i’m back!!!! (What do you mean you didn’t notice my router had randomly reset itself to insane settings and Max had PUT AWAY the instructions SOMEWHERE SAFE!!!!) Thanks for all the text support… off for more wine… or biscuits… or erm… I know, i’ll interact with the children!

Seem to finally be having nice weather around here, which makes for nice days. Unfortunately, as always happens, a combination of blogging good business and sun seems to have quietened down the site rather a lot – ho hum, oh well, you can’t have everything 🙂 If it could just stay nice next week, i’ll […]

We all curled up on the sofa last night and watched the new(er) Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film. This morning they’ve watched it again while i worked and i was musing on whether the bits about Willy Wonka’s past are derived in anyway from the Great Glass Elevator book. I said that i hadn’t […]

Yesterday morning Fran and i went on a mjor girly shopping spree, spending time in Lush together, in Lakeland, John Lewis, Kiddicare, Boots and plenty of other places. it was very enjoyable to wander around, doing jobs and pampering ourselves. She had some pocket money and some birthday money left and bought 2 of these […]

All spent ages curled up in my bed this morning, being silly. Times like that i love being them other of all those daughters – i’m so looking forward to still being curled up in bed with them all for snuggly girly chats for years to come 🙂 mentally busy again this morning (i’ve changed […]
