Today has almost had a “home ed day” feel to it, though for the life of me, i can’t think what we’ve done really. I suppose it started at midnight when we saw in the new year with Amelie, who had woken up itching. Was actually rather lovely to have her there, we all stood […]

We went to Milton Keynes today – we went there and we DIDN’T go to the new IKEA! 😯 Josie kindly woke Max and i up at about 5am, in that odd time where you haven’t really had enough sleep, but you’ve had too much to actually get BACK to sleep. Max got up with […]

If anyone has good tips on this craft, i’d appreciate them. Brothers girfriend needs some help 🙂

The slightly less pleasant side of winter is having to go out in the post-snow freezing, driving wind and rain. It was -2C when i went out this morning, with a distinctly less that impressed Amelie in tow. First stop was for cheap-o bookshelves which are nonetheless perfectly good enough for a bathroom book/toiletries shelf […]

Everything is a face off at the moment, she can’t do a single thing without a fight and argument. Oh well, another year and she’ll […]

How on earth has one photo clocked up 846 views? I only just even added its tags, so it can’t be that.

Brrrr…. it takes quite a bit before Max leaves the heating on high all day – but that is where it has been today! It is SO cold! We’ve had snow showers for a fair bit of the day, just on and off ones, after maybe 5cm of snow last night. For the first time […]

Your Brain’s Pattern You have a dreamy mind, full of fancy and fantasy. You have the ability to stay forever entertained with your thoughts. People may say you’re hard to read, but that’s because you’re so internally focused. But when you do share what you’re thinking, people are impressed with your imagination. What Pattern Is […]

I bought Max an MP3 player for Xmas, one with an FM radio, which was what he really wanted, so it’s not an iPod. I only, in my limited understanding of anytihng of this sort, understand iTunes and iPods, so i didn’t really realise that iTunes will not download music into anything that isn’t an […]
