It’s just before 10am and we’re on our way to Rosie’s house for Misses E and M to play with Ingenious Junior, and for me to play have witty and intelligent conversation and numerous cups of tea and coffee with Rosie.

I love my kids.
No honestly, I really do.
So why do I find this so satisfying?
Mwah ha ha haaaaaaaaa
Oh and I nearly forgot to lovely Dumdad reminded me.
Remember when I posted about a local girls Olympic success earlier this week??
Well, Mansfield lass Rebecca Adlington got her second Gold Medal today along with her second World […]
So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to?
Like diet books? Shudder.
Well last week I got this.
This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs,

And not funny like Vic Reeves or Tommy Cooper or Stephen Fry or Eddie Izzard is/are funny…
And not funny like a small badger playing […]
My niece ME is 4 years old. As she is 8 months older than Miss M she asserts she is the big girl on an almost daily basis and at times talks to Miss M like she is the wise maiden aunt who has led a long life and seen much of the world.

Our host today is the lovely Olive. Having been away for the majority of the weekend I kind of forgot to write my post last night as I was a tired lady. In fact, I didn’t even look at the topic till this morning. When I did I thought, oh my Bob, […]
