Psychopaths and Solicitors

Tonight, I WAS going to blog about the fact my kid might be a psychopath.
I WAS going to blog about the conversation we had after her swimming lesson when she said..
Miss M:  ”Mummy.  I have Ashley’s foot.  But it’s ok.”
And the fact that my mind immediately exploded with thoughts of the sweet little boy at [...]

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

Feeling better today, partly because of all your comments, partly because my new car is parked happily outside my house, nestled into the kerb like a sleeping wildebeest, sighhhh, but mainly because I started the day with the following statement from Miss M…
Miss M;  ”Mummy, my nappy is like a carriage for wee.”
I am so [...]

That Sinking Feeling

Sometimes the lows just hit when you’re least expecting them.  You’re flying along so fast, barely able to take in the scenery when, woomph.  It’s been fairly gentle this descent, a soft yet smothering pillow about the head rather than the obvious brick, but sometimes obvious is better.  You can’t fight the obvious.  You can’t [...]

Amen

There are many reasons why a person might want to attend a Church Garden Party.
Like, erm,
the multitude of unwanted old toys your kids tend to come home with.
or
the yummy home made cakes that have rolled into a squishy ball of goo by the time you take them out of your bag.
or
the interesting stuff you can [...]

Being a Big Kid

Today Miss M had her first full day at school.  It was a practice for the real thing in September when I will be waving two little girls off in the morning then dashing off for a swim, cleaning my house, looking after ‘me’ for a bit, and hopefully writing, writing, writing.
See how cute she [...]

Sing along with Jo

I want you to do something for me.  I promise there are no Space Pirates involved this time.  You see, at Chez Beaufoix today we are having a sing song. We are having a sing song because I have some good news and am choosing to reveal it through the medium of music and [...]

Driving Miss Beaufoix

I need a car.
It doesn’t need to be a big one.
Or a posh one.
Just you know, a car.  I’m really not too fussy.
As long as it’s got wheels, doors, windows, and an engine and all those other bits cars need to make them go.
As long as it keeps the rain out and the kids in.
As [...]

Competition Winners and Chicken P*rn

(Is it bad I made Miss E change into, erm, matching pyjamas for this shot?)
Congrats Sara.  The fabulous Bratz goodies will be wending their way to you very soon, and thanks to everyone who entered.  
And now I have an important announcement.  
Cough.
To follow we have a post from Miss M aged 4.
Sometimes it’s hard [...]

Father’s Day, a Farm and McFly

Firstly, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY DAD.  
Love you loads, and thanks for all the time you’re spending on finding the right car for us.  It will be a life changer and we really appreciate it.  And thanks for being there for E and M.  It means the world to them, and me. 

Yesterday was such a good [...]

Hope McFly are Waterproof

Tonight we are off to see the lovely McFly.
They’ve been one of Miss E’s favourite bands for quite a while, and even her Daddy approves of them as they play their own instruments, write their own songs, and can kick out a good tune. We booked this evening’s entertainment a year ago when our [...]
