We have the lergy

The inevitable has happened.  
Sick kids = sick parents.
Bugger.
Luckily we have nothing major planned today.  Miss E should be swimming but unless they would like the pool changed to a lovely shade of snot green I think they’ll be quite happy we stayed away.
Miss M climbed into our bed at 5am this morning and it [...]

The Dogs bo**ocks

It’s been confirmed.  Miss M loves me best.
I always thought it, but now I know.  And how do I know??
Well today she decided Mr B and I could have a precious sticker from the ones that came free with her magazine. 

I got this.  A cute little puppy dog’s head,  Nice right?
While Mr B got this…
 
Yep, [...]

Joey Christmas

Hmmmm.  
So wordpress (or my brain), did something weird yesterday and the post I thought I published had to be republished today although it had yesterdays date on it which makes me think that I am not going mad and I definitely did publish it yesterday, weird.  (And breathe)
Anyway, so, when you’ve done with this [...]

Pink ‘n Whites ‘n Calpol

Today I have sick children.  Miss E has a temperature of 38.6, Miss M’s is hovering around the 39+ mark.  So we are having a day of cuddles and warm milk and Medised.  Miss M especially is feeling very yucky, so much so that she is still in pjs and Fifi dressing gown at 4.30am [...]

An Audience with Miss E and Miss M

School plays, you gotta love ‘em.  
No seriously, you have to.
Even if your ears have been assaulted for weeks by the sound of two small children battling to perform their Christmas concert tunes in unison, even though they are doing completely different plays.
And then there’s the cold school hall, the hard wooden chairs, the bloke [...]

Kiss your what?

I’m tucking Miss M into bed having just read The Monkey Puzzle Tree to her, when Mr B pokes his head round the door.
Mr B:  “Can I have a great big enormous goodnight kiss M?”
Miss M:  “You can kiss my ar…m, Daddy.”
I bite my bottom lip as I stifle a grin, while Mr B stoops to [...]

Hang Overs and New Beginnings

My first night in since Tuesday and I’m exhausted.  It’s been the best week though.  Last night I got in at 3am having danced my bottom off.  I watched it wander out of the room with a strange man but it seems to have returned unharmed as it was there when I woke up this [...]

Secret Santa?

Please say it’s not just me who reads the line ‘Santa like you’ve never seen him before’ and gets an image in their head of Father Christmas, completely naked, except for black boots and just a red ribbon to cover his modesty??
This is plastered all round Meadow Hall Shopping Centre in Sheffield and every time [...]

Random stuff from the mouth of an 8 year old

Miss E cornered me tonight just before I jumped into the shower.
Miss E:  ”Mum, did you know if genie’s don’t grant wishes they turn into camels?”
Me:  ”Erm.”
Miss E:  ”Yep, they do.” 
And then she just walked away.  I mean, what am I supposed to do with that?
Heh heh.
I’m off out with my girlie mates tonight,  Lucy, [...]

Ballet or Gratuitous Bottom Showing?

Ahhhh the ballet.  Well, what can I say?  The scenery was stunning, the costumes elaborate and sumptuous, and the dancers in the main part absolutely gorgeous,
BUT
It’s really hard to follow a story when there are no words and you don’t know it very well.
There.  I’ve said it.  And now some of you probably think I [...]
