…Okehampton. A truly great week, delicious in itself for not having had to do any organising (hahahahahaha at the idea of being organised about or actually in charge of anything!) Best bits for me were *late night better getting to know of people i know better by blog *the carol service 😉 *the first of […]

Taking a week away before Xmas is probably not a terribly sensible thing for a toy retailer to do! Should have thought 🙁 I did a shed load of parcels at midday, took all my stock back to my lock-up (which is number 1001, sort of room 101 but bigger :shock:) and came home to […]

Phew. The days have felt really long this week, dunno why. I daresay it’s just post-illness nerg, i just can’t seem to get warm and it makes me want to sit still and vegetate. What was i doing this time last year? I don’t remember feeling like this. Oh yeah, sitting still and breastfeeding all […]

Sob. I’ve just crunched the front bumper of the car on a low post. Howl. What is wrong with me at the moment? The hob has a gas leak and the cupboard under it smells of gas, the agents aren’t ringing back and i’m about to go and hide under the table. Can’t decide if […]

Thanksgiving was excellent and when Tammy and Sam had gone we settled down to a day of benign neglect, while i tried to afford myself a bit of headspace, which i was feeling much in need of.

We read the story of Thanksgiving (at least Tammy did while i ran about doing stuff!) then we did some crafts in the form of some DLTK cut and stick stuff. I was feeling rather less inspired than i had intended but it was okay. […]

Better day today. Fran didn’t wake up till 9am (unheard of!) by which time i’d been down a while and got some jobs done. So we started well and it’s been a nice day. First we read “A Farm through Time” which we all really enjoyed and was a rather fantastic everyone snuggled up to […]

Who’s been indoctrinating my daughter???? 😉 She and Maddy are playing “scarf ladies” – Amelie is going for the total neat approach whereas Maddy is wearing her’s with style. Lol. And especially for Hannah, Maddy’s version 🙂

www.flickr.com Especially for Alison, when she returns 🙂 I found a photo of Amelie in this top at the weekend, she was nearly 2. Josie is all but grown out of it now. Chubbychops 🙂

The one where Merry gets back to the point. I think this year has been the most significant yet in terms of our HE life. It’s been the one where i let go of some things and picked up some others that i had shed because i listened outside before i listened inside, an acceptable […]
