I promised you writing…

That may not have been a good idea, the promising of the writing thing, because I have stomach cramps and am curled on the sofa hugging my ‘Resolve’ and feeling very annoyed that on a night Mr B is out, Miss E is at her friends and I managed to get Miss M asleep by [...]

Waffle

And it’s not a podcast as no pods were actually involved.
Oh, and I nearly forgot, head over here if you get chance. It’s the Best of British Mummy Bloggers Carnival Christmas Edition and there are some great parent bloggers there today.  I have a post up there too which you might have read, but the [...]

Father Christmas is a very bad man

Every year he buys my kids a special gift.  It is a special gift just from him and tends to be something they can share.  This year he bought them moon sand, and that is why he is a very bad man.
For the uninitiated moon sand is…

Sounds great right?
Mouldable
Not Messy

Take me to your leader

Polly Pockets, Pingu, DS Games, Ipods, Barbie, High School Musical Dolls, Puppy Go Walkies, Bratz, Animal Hospital, Moon Sand, Aqua Beads.  Yep, Misses E and M and their cousins ME and baby J did pretty well this Christmas, but perhaps one of the most treasured of gifts was this…

Weirdly he [...]

Will he?

Makes you feel like dancing?

Yep, even a trip to B & Q (DIY store) can put my kids in a festive mood.
(They’re a bit weird aren’t they?  ;D )

Steve McQueen has nothing on my husband

It’s Sunday afternoon.
Mr B lies huddled on the two seater, attempting not to hack up a lung.
Misses E, M and myself are cuddled together on the other settee, sharing a blanket and a story. 
My mind registers a shifting as my sick husband attempts to rise to his feet.  It’s as if he is coated in [...]

I’m sat reading, minding my own business, grabbing a moment to myself before the next round of nose wiping, Calpol and hot water bottle filling begins.  Miss M is having a perky moment.  You know, the ones kids get when their temperature has dropped and they actually feel human for a while.  She is sat [...]
