Marmite has made it to 19 weeks and is still going strong 🙂 Yesterday my consultant and I agreed I am now half way. We have a date that should be Marmite’s birthday and a plan of sorts. The plan falls somewhere between mental health padded cell accommodation for me and the best and most […]
I'd have got away with it too…
Now we are back in the swing of daily ‘normals’ work, which always leads for a happier household, we’re getting much more done in general. I like it when we swing back into these productive periods of time; even doing sensible if slightly boring stuff first thing in the morning tends to make the day […]
Back where we belong.
Not the most auspicious of starts to a holiday 😆 The way down to Devon was dogged by bad traffic and the journey took much longer than normal. Fortunately, *she says, getting the plug in early* Three had lent us a Mifi Mobile Broadband doodah which meant iPhone and iPods could have a decent connection […]
Off to a good home while smelling of Persil & good intentions.
I’m sure we aren’t the only house which seems to end up with a completely insane number of cuddly toys. of course, owning a toy shop hasn’t helped, nor has the ‘tradition’ of a new animal each at Christmas every year (that mounts up in a family of this size!) and it does seem that […]
The Other Blog. It's mine, all mine.
I said I’d never do it again, but a while ago, as some people know, I started another blog. It isn’t secret, just more personal, more for me. A different thing. It occurred to me a while ago that this family blog will be a family legacy always, our history written through my eyes, but […]
Sofa, you played with my heart.
I’ve been knitting cardigans for the girls. Well, I actually appears to have been knitting large, swamping garments that will fit people into young adulthood, but that’s okay. I knit slow and there is no guarantee I will be done before Fran is ready to get married any way. A few weeks ago I was […]
Winners of Sea-Band packs & Velcro Kids House
Popping in from a couple of days break to bring you the winners of the give aways on the blog last week (it feels like a whole heap of similar things has come at once, normal service to be resumed soon I promise!) First of all, winners of the packs of Sea-Band products are:- Comment […]
Pressure or Suggestion? The result was certainly positive anyway.
Since the girls were little, we’ve had bouts of travel sickness that have afflicted the middle two girls at various times. To some extent it has always depended on the car we have – and moving to people carriers solved a lot of the problem – but both Maddy and Amelie have always found long […]
It's the thought that counts.
Flowers. The colour, the scent, the burst of outside that can bring a dull mood and a dull day instantly to life. It doesn’t matter whether I buy them for myself, or the come as a gift, but they always make me feel better. Whether they come from a posh florists in London or the […]
Bags of Love in a Photo Album
The other day Fran had to do a photo project; she’d been set it by a member of the cleft support team who wanted her to celebrate her face, her beauty and her smile. She’s their pin up girl, the child with her photo in all the cleft clinics in our area and they were […]
