I was vaguely aware of my children working diligently on handmade gifts this morning, so i eventually roused from my sleep-in to be greeted with a cup of tea and an avalanche of paper, pictures, an illustrated story from Fran, lovely writing from Maddy and cards made at Rainbows :~) Mum and dad came down […]

New tent, new tent! Decided in the end that the Khyam was the most sensible option, more flexibility of space for a family that still needs to grow as much upwards as it has done in number. The one thing that really put me off the Outwell, when i thought about it, was that the […]

Oh dear, WP already had “Argh!” as a flip down possible title to a post. Amelie’s tantrums have now reached mammoth proportions. She has had 5 since this time last night, pretty much entirely directed at Max. Once i take over she gives up pretty fast, which presumably means she knows i’m too much of […]

Funny old day. Started by rushing out to Speech Therapy; now, i’d gone off this a bit, mainly cos we never seem to do much, but partly because the SALT, who we have known since the day Fran was born, seemed quite dubious about HE and made me feel a bit irritated last time we […]

Or they are in this house. (But i’ll get back to that) First of all, mental note. I WILL NOT follow anymore links to blogs from Layla’s blog.

Excellent. A day that ends with you finding a fiver unexpectedly in your backpocket is always a good one. Having working vocal chords is good too. And generally it was a much better day. Bit of Shrek to warm up and they solved several new problems , then we put CBBC class tv on and […]

No, i haven’t sorted out our MP local website yet but…. would 1pm at Activity World this friday suit y’all? I’ve got Speech Therapy for Fran on Friday morning so if its a morning meet i can’t go.

In answer to Chris’s query as to whether my girls are going to be straight… Amelie has just announced “I am going to marry Lulah and Lulah WILL marry me.” So there.

Beaten that tonsil into submission… even managed some retail therapy. Brainworks has got a sale on so i got several bits of software for the girls i have wanted for a while. And Brightminds offered up the perfect Mothers Day gift for mum, but i can’t link to it in case she reads this. Now, […]
