Still not unpacked. Trying to summon the enthusiasm for this week which i had packed full of days out at friends for the girls so now i have to cancel at least two of them thanks to the application of pox germs to Josie. Bah humbug. A number of interesting moments today; Maddy announced she […]

Okay, its a week later than i planned but i just got into my size 18 jeans and did them up!!!!!!!! How pleased am i! 2 stone to go…..

Well that could have been worse by a long chalk. Although if those were my more lucid moments, i dread to think what i said the rest of the day! I definitely told them not to use my “housewife” slip!!!!! Startled by how nice my house looked, kids adorable naturally and i didn’t look as […]

I have this odd feeling that i’m peering out on the world through the proverbial holes in the sand, so i didn’t go mad today. We had our group first thing and i must say, it feels like a really nice group of people. We just need a venue. I was hoping that Activity World […]

Will it clear on its own, or do i need to go to the doctors?

Dear Mr Fortune-Wood, I read the article in the Guardian today with great interest and I’ve looked through the Muddlepuddle site. You are doing a fine job! Although I don’t think we are mentioned on […]
