I’ve lost Thursday, can’t remember it at all. Oh yes, failed to get anyone out the door and stayed home in a heap of general lethargy. Friday was a bit mental really; Max took the girls to see Nim’s Island at 10am while i went to work, collected me at 1.30pm, R turned up to […]

Yesterday Fran and i had a day out in London together, mainly to see War Horse at the National Theatre but also to do some London bits. We’ve both really looked forward to having a day together and she hasn’t been into London properly before either, mainly due to me being a bit pathetic about […]

Yesterdays film, The Spiderwick Chronicles, has really inspired the girls. They spent a good bit of yesterday pm designing covers for a book and today carried on the theme. In fact, the day didn’t actually start there; Max was poorly so he was home, i dashed into work and when i got back the girls […]

And a blog is needed i think. So, last weekend, or rather the one before last, we went off to my parents to Rowan’s birthday, with some car buying thrown in. As we’d (i use the term we in the loosest possible terms) not hired a car immediately so we could use the courtesy car […]

Considering i fell asleep at 12.30am, woke up at 3am and that was all the sleep i got, we had a good Thursday. The music lessons went well again, Fran and Amelie played together again, we fed everyone 2 decent meals with F, M and A sharing making the evening stew and a reasonable amount […]

RIP Big Green Monster Car 🙁 The man with the final say decided it wasn’t allowed to be repaired; at least, initially he phoned and said he could but that was when he thought it had only done 50,000 miles whereas in fact it had a previous dashboard console that had done 80,000 miles. So […]

Dino-dors!!!! It’s been a long time since we did dinosaurs here, Fran was 4; there are Muddlepuddle pages to prove it. Oh how old they are now to look at… Following on from yesterdays history and a relative interest from the younger 2 anyway, we looked at them again today. Fran initially turned up her […]

*Managed to get all 3 children through music practise without any tears and all with considerable improvement. *Managed to coax Fran through a history question that was producing tears; she’s not the best at unscrambling problems and HATES reading back to find comprehension answers, so a “put the dates with the statements” type question is […]

Max and i have been considering a new car for a little while; ours is a lovely 6 seater Peugeot 806 and i love it but we camp a lot, our children are insisting on lengthening and we can’t really get everything we need to pack under their feet any more. We’d already looked at […]
