I’m on a distinctly short fuse. Not sure why but i’ve done a fair bit of growling today. Its partly that i’ve got rather a lot on, partly that i can’t get the time together to do one thing i really NEED to do to make my business a lot better and partly that its […]

“Mummy, Muhammed and me are in true love.” Crumbs. Apparently it is love, at least judging by the expression on her face today when Auntie Kate asked about him .They aren’t getting married though as they are only children, that’s what she told Fran anyway. I’ve invited him around; he’s already given her a ring: […]

Strange thing to feel proud of, but i just thought i’d share a PMM. Fran was doing some of the word building things in the back of the JP book. it gives a picture and the newly learned sounds and they have to build the words. Anyway, the sounds were ee, oa, ie and something […]

Hm. Must try not to repeat that particular brand of stupidness. In my (slim) defence, it was a CM book i’d been looking forward to getting as its being discussed on one of my lists at the moment and i was dipping into it as i had lunch. But it did strike me as perhaps […]

If ever there is an optimum time for having a large tooth filling that takes half an hour and the anesthetic doesn’t take, 3 months after a caesarean where the anesthetic doesn’t work is not it :~( Wail. And Amelie has just been sick everywhere. Anyone want my children? Or my life? I suppose a […]

This is Maddy at the age Josie is now, in a babygrow Josie wore this week too (only filling it rather more fully!) I would be able to tell the difference, but only just. They are incredibly alike. Josie is sat by me coo-ing and talking to me. She is amazingly dribbly, chews her fists […]

Does it count that i answered Maddy’s “why do we have chins?” question today? Because aside from that we’ve just karted all day… girls are getting good though! Slightly horrified by the Pandora’s Cube i have unleashed, i have decreed that it has the same rules as the tv – not between 10am and 4pm […]

We like our game cube. Just to buck the trend a little, i got the Mario Kart bundle, so ours is silver. But that meant half price bongos. Not a great deal else has happened aside from a spectacular row between Max and i. We do sulk occasionally but we rarely yell; today we yelled. […]

I must just blog my dream, if only because appearing in Jan and my dreams will probably make Alison feel, well, special ;~) I had this odd dream that Alison Portico had appeared on the front cover of the Daily Mirror under the headline “Stop the Momma” ranting about lack of funding for home educators. […]

Mmmmmm….i LIKE Centerparcs. And just so all my holiday gatecrashers feel loved, Max decided he preferred it this year with lots of people around. Which i would say was quite a result :~) We had a great week, easily as nice if not more so than last year. The girls had really come on in […]
