I am once more a Twit

I’m back
The lovely, charming, intelligent, attractive, kind, fabulous and ’smelling of chocolate, rose petals marshmallows and beautiful handbags’ people at Twitter have allowed me to tweet once more as myself.
Apparently they missed me so much that all it took was a couple of jaffa cakes and a flash of my petticoats for them to open [...]

My child is a proper charmer

Miss M:  Can you smell that Mummy?
Me:  No babe, what is it?
Miss M:  My trump.

The whole truth and nothing but the truth?

It’s night time again and my 4 year old is exhausted.  Having spent a teacher training day bouncing, wrestling and chattering with her 5 and 2 year old cousins in our back garden, I expect her to fall asleep as soon as her head touches the princess emblazoned pink of her pillow.  But no.  It [...]

British Parent Bloggers do it for NACCPO

As one of the UK Bloggers taking part in The Great Panto Review 2009 to raise money for NACCPO, I have been asked to share this press release with you.  I will be attending my home town of Mansfield’s version of Aladdin which myself and my two monkeys are really looking forward to.   I’m [...]

Climate Change – You Can Make A Difference

Minging

Feeling a little melancholy tonight. I’m a bit hormonal and missing my kids in the day time I think. I’m so used to having Miss M chattering away beside me, and instead I have this tired little person who is either grumpy or completely manic and hurling herself around like a mad child. [...]

Very very

Miss M and I are sat having a latte/orange juice in Schmesco.  We have an hour to kill before we collect Miss E from Drama Club, and have developed (well we’ve done it twice,) the habit of a drink and a chat in the cafe.  It’s so so lovely to sit opposite my little girl [...]

It’s a worry

Why is it that on a day when I’ve given my scraggy hair a quick spray with dry shampoo and stuck it up in one of those claspy comby things that doesn’t seem to have an actual generic name and yet when you describe it everyone knows what it is, (and breathe), why is it [...]
