It’s 3am and Miss M is crying.
I lie in bed listening, waiting to see if it will remain the habitual cry of a small child who wakes in the dark momentarily, then closes her eyes and heads off back to dreamland, or whether it will grow and build and become one of fear and need […]
Mr B and I don’t often get time alone together. He works all day and after we’ve had dinner and put the two little monkeys to bed there are just a few hours of awake time left, many of which I spend on the pc in our kitchen, blogging and writing and reading, […]
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 […]
This morning at 9am my sister-in-law Helen’s grandad died.
He was the most charming and lovely man. Over the 15 or so years I have known him he has been a warm presence, always smiling, wonderful with Misses E and M and his own great grand children cousins ME and baby J, and a […]

Apparently this is where Miss E hoped we’ll be staying for the last week or so.
Well this is her dream room anyway, and I can’t help being kind of pleased because we’re on the way there. I mean, she has a wardrobe, a bed, walls, a ceiling, and a clock, as well as book […]
Babs the ostrich here.
They are home, but…
Jo is busy wrapping prezzies as tomorrow Miss E will be 8 years old. The first load of washing has gone in the machine, some bags are unpacked, a bottle of wine is about to be opened and two small girls are almost fast asleep.
Please excuse her from […]
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,
or,
a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness.
I mean, it’s probably […]
After a fabulous day in the sun yesterday we head to more sunshine in the form of lovely Holly and the little nevereverlanders, Queen of Hearts and The Thrower. We will also be meeting Mr Nevereverland whom Mr B hopes to chat to about intelligent stuff while Holl and I are being daft creative and […]
