It’s an in joke that I totally fail to be thrifty at Christmas; I’m hopeless at working to budgets (Max handles the household money for most elements of our life) and hopeless at not indulging my children. I could blame that on more recent elements of life but it isn’t true or honest to blame […]
A little self indulgence.
You mustn’t blog about blogging. It’s a rule, right up there with ‘do not flounce’ and ‘do not break disclosure rules’ and ‘do not put things in your blog you don’t want your teenagers friends to find’. It narrows things down a bit at times 😉 I’m going to allow myself a little self administered […]
Promoted Post: Beating the Seasonal Blues
This time of year brings shorter days, plummeting temperatures, and a bleakness that can often be matched by our mood. We may all fall victim to the winter blues every now and again, but for some this can develop into something much more serious. Seasonal Affective Disorder (appropriately abbreviated SAD) is a form of depression […]
Win a Le Toy Van Honeybake Wooden Food Bundle
The comp is at the bottom, first comes the frothy business gush. You can skip it if you wish. 😆 Most regular readers of this blog will know that we’ve run an online toy business for 10 years; it’s not always had quite the same name, but PlayMerrily Toys is the core of what we […]
Review: Hotel Chocolate Sleekster Classic Christmas Selection.
Along with sock, slippers, smellies and sleep (oh no wait… not sleep, no such thing as sleep anymore) chocolates have to be one of those go to gifts for people who either have everything or fall into the “oh my goodness, what do I get them?” category. Or indeed people who just deserve a treat. […]
Review: Top CashBack Shopping Bonus Website.
When you lead an insanely busy life, which we do, you can be guilty of not taking the time to find out more about some of the things that people tell you about; I’ve seen people refer to Top CashBack an awful lot over the years but somehow I’ve never quite found the time to […]
Sponsored Video: Project Sunlight #brightfuture
It’s not like the old days. In the old days the air sparkled and was full of birds. Tweeting meant a noise, a natural noise, heard with ears, not eyes. We played in mud and out in the street and illness was proper, wholesome illness and broken arms didn’t mean a week off school while […]
What's your favourite yarn shop?
A while ago I updated a post where I described the really bad service I had had from a yarn company. I was extremely angry to have been treated so poorly and took the unusual step (for me) of making a fuss about it on my blog. Today they asked me to remove it. Now […]
The Angry.
Wednesday was a really tough day. Every so often, a grief day emerges, out of nowhere except a combination of events and hormones and co-incidences and moments of unexpected thoughtlessness. And Wednesday started, as it so often does, with a dream. I never dream about Freddie; I have barely dreamed of him at all; I […]
Thanks for all the fish.
Quite by accident, I missed a huge milestone moment last week. I sent Fran off to her cleft team review and when she came back, she was discharged from full team care! 15 and a half years of regular meetings with the same people came to an end and I wasn’t there to see it […]
