Duffle, wellies and princess dress.. you gotta love it. I don’t like dentists… Gamecube-mania. what WAS the game that Fran was playing the first night? Rolling down a hill or something? Just like her sisters, Josie likes the tv. Just after this, she managed a half rollover and twisted herself round 90 degrees too. Gulp.

Oh well, I’m feeling better anyway. Unfortunately Maddy has raging earache and Josie has raging snot and a cough like i’ve not heard on a baby before :~/ Roll on pox. Grumble. Today was a haul in the reins, pull up the sofa day. We had biscuits, cuddles, sofa, biscuits, dvds and so on. I […]

Yuck, i felt horrid this morning, disgustingly stiff and sore and achy. Been taking painkillers all day, but it seems to have eased off now. Phew. Felt so awful in fact that i lazed all morning, the kids played gamecube and various make up games and i lounged miserably. Must be stricter about the gamecube […]

I’m sick of watching small children failing to grasp the concept of straight edges and jigsaw puzzles…

Well Josie has green gunge coming out of one eye and i, after a rather hazy day, have suddenly realized i’ve got tonsilitis. Marvellous. Oh well.

When we started on the whole “slightly more structure” thing last summer, it was because i had got to a point where i couldn’t quite cope with how short Fran’s concentration span was. It felt like i couldn’t give anyone else any time at all. *comes back two hours later after concentration lapses* Its been […]

We’ve been working on this today… or rather ordering Tim about while he worked on it! I’m just about to place a poll on MP to see if we get any interest so i’m putting the image here for people to see.

I rented this version of Troy which was the first version to come up on Amazon. Now it says main language is english and that its dubbed in German and has subtitles. Fair enough. I’m still assuming its in English. The dvd is printed in English, it says region 2 on the dvd but i […]

Otherwise known as unpacking avoidance techniques. Fran’s got more than a soft spot for this boy :~) The rather awesome pancakes So much fun at Dynamic Earth Friends. Playing parachutes (I never understand why that game is fun!) More parachutes. Its all too much for JosieJo. Princess Maddy. Too gorgeous for words. (Both of you, […]

Apart from the pretty Youth Hostel Duty Manager (Jax, are you charging for his email address????) Ros’s SIL telling me i have flawless skin and asking if i have a skin care routine :~D If ever i could have kissed a woman…. I liked seeing bits of Hadrians Wall too – although we only drove […]
