You see SaveParliament has done what i humbly feel the article Jax linked to completely failed to do. It says it in words of one syllable, slowly and without irritating hyperbole. And it is scary. And even i think i had better read it 🙁

Todays plans got shot further apart by the news that the beads were not going to arrive today either, which meant that i had to go all the way to Sleaford and pick them up. Grrrrr. Then i spent rather a lot of the afternoon doing my back orders and i’ll be spending rather a […]

Today has been a definite “on the up” day; we’ve had a decent stab at normals, done some EC, beaded-merrily and made candles. The candle making was great, very therapeutic and after my bawl out last week, everyone really tried hard. Of course, i was moaning about them being ungrateful yesterday wasn’t i? This morning […]

Last night Max and i said we felt like generally things were very positive this year so far; money, getting better at eating healthily, planning for the future. Everything seems to be improving EXCEPT our general feelings about the kids. We aren’t doing well for them and they are being messy, grumpy and ungrateful and […]

You Are Teal Green You are a one of a kind, original person. There’s no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don’t scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange […]

Today, following a 2lb loss this week, i am 1 stone lighter than i was on Christmas Eve. This is a huge achievement for me because it means that i have now maintained a weight for several weeks that i haven’t been since before i had Amelie. I was really slim (for me! lol!) when […]

Combination of stress, no car, high-level hormones, and a 4 day late period have made the end of this week unbearably horrid! I’ve been shouty mummy extraordinaire. Bleurgh. Still, it’s all resolved itself now thank goodness (which mainly made me realise i really don’t think i want anymore children!) Yesterday disappeared in a blur of […]

I’m doing a Sarah 😆 We’ve had a pretty horrid day here today really, cabin fever is well and truly setting in and there seem to have been lots of tears and fights. We need to get a change of scene and some fresh air, life just seems horrid at the moment. There isn’t a […]

“Mum… if we took walkie talkies to Narnia, would they work straight away or would people have to build stuff to make them work?” “Erm… i’ll find out and get back to you.” Anyone?

She loves these and is ever so good at them; i’ve really enjoyed watching her experiment over the last few days. Every time i get them out to play and experiment myself, i immediately get set upon by all the girls and hounded off. 😆 Today has been tough really; we’re cabin-feverish, i’m trying to […]
