The rescue of an almost dull post

19. March 2009

Alright, alright, I didn’t manage to fit in Fitball this morning, but I still have to get packed for Center Parcs tomorrow, pick up Miss E and get glammed up for tonight, as well as feeding the two monkeys.
Isn’t that enough? Sighhhh.
Miss M decided to put on a lovely display incorporating both sound and smell [...]

Can’t stop. Tomorrow is my sister and her lovely hubby’s party, and then the family are off to Center Parcs for the weekend. So Thursday will be a mad day as I have to take the girls to school and nursery, then go to Fitball – because I exercise now don’t you know? (It’s hilarious.) [...]

Noooooooooooooo.

Surely not?

No really, it can’t be…

Ahhhhhhh. Thank Bob Almighty, and more importantly, thank McDonalds. Because my kids really needed a toy that looks like a turd.
Nice one.

Withnail and him and I

We’re having a trip down memory tonight. Red Wine and ‘Withnail and I’. Don’t get me wrong, we have tough moments every day but so far we’re managing to stay friendly, and conversation is getting easier as time passes. I suppose the pressure is off and the love we have for our children is allowing [...]

We did the CD sort today. I thought it would be hard but I imagine that will come later when I sit and listen to them. To be honest there was something soothing about it. Remembering the good times, remembering my youth with this man who introduced me to so much, especially when it comes [...]

A Darker Shade of Pale

When Mr B, Miss M and I visited the consultant on Tuesday, part of our discussion focusses on the, erm, colour of Miss M’s poop.
The words pale and clay like are used, and we agree that it is in fact, sort of chalky looking at times. As we attempt to get the shade across to [...]

Miss M: ”Mummy, can my go back down to the pebble garden again? My want to see all de cat poo.
They didn’t mention that in the details – “A well presented two bedroom property, with Gas Central Heating, UPVC Double Glazing and a low maintenance, grass free, cat toilet for a garden.”
Nice.
(N.B. We won’t be [...]

The Other Stuff

While things seem to be more settled with Miss M, the other situation is ongoing and getting harder. Mr B and I are separating. It’s been a hard decision but I’m sure it’s the right one for both of us.
That said it’s still a very sad time. We’ve been together almost 16 years, since I [...]

We put it in the fridge, thanks everyone, and it went well, and hopefully it’s nothing serious.
The consultant was lovely and MIss M was an angel right up to just before we left when she decided to crawl under a bed and clank stuff about, hee hee.
We have a simple course of treatment which will [...]

Miss M sees the consultant tomorrow. This means that tomorrow morning our first task of the day will be catching our 4 year old’s wee in a cup so we can take a sample with us.
So I have a question for you?
They need a morning sample.
Our appointment is at 3.00pm.
Does the wee go in the [...]
