Can I talk to you about something?

October 13, 2012 by

Just before I had Bene, I made a very positive choice not to do something. I didn’t replace our house phone, which had bitten the dust in dramatic fashion, running out of battery within minutes and randomly spewing out ansaphone messages from up to 4 years ago to unsuspecting grandads who called home and were […]

Eye see that could help.

September 30, 2012 by

In this family the six of us who have been around long enough to have opinions or indeed eyesight anyone can be sure of, divide into two halves. There are the people with summer birthdays and then there are the 3 of us with winter birthdays. We divided neatly down that line in many things; […]

The tearing hair look not so good then.

September 22, 2012 by

I have to go clothes shopping next week. I reckon nearly anyone else *in the whole world* (that’s official, I did a survey) would be really excited about this but although I am excited about having a night out and a new outfit to wear, I’m truly dreading the process of shopping. I’m hopeless at […]

Finished it Friday: the horrible home knit.

September 13, 2012 by

Ever since Max first pulled me in his MGB, I've occasionally had to play second fiddle in his heart to weekends like this one. My husband has a secret, one which means he spends his evening thumbing through magazines with scantily clad ladies in them and likes to go and stare at oiled and shiny […]

Don't leave home without….

August 27, 2012 by

Though I shudder to say it, our list of electricals for a fortnight of back to basics holidaying away from home was a bit too big. 3 DS’s of various generations, an iPhone, 3… no … actually 5? phones of various sorts, a iPad, a portable DVD player (disclaimer, it stops Amelie throwing up in […]

Bene had a holiday.

August 20, 2012 by

We finally got away for a holiday. We went back, again, to the farm we love so much, deep in the Dartmoor hills that have our heart. It is the most amazing place. You should go. Really. Just not all of you or we won’t be able to book our weeks 😉 When we went […]

A-maising play.

August 3, 2012 by

Years and years ago, my second product was Happymais, which my children loved. I’m not entirely sure now where it even came in from (how can I have forgotten that?) or why I stopped selling it but we did. It’s changed name since and is now called PlayMais; wondering about hunting it down again. It […]
