The lovely Lisa is hosting this week’s Fun Monday and she was kind enough to give us two choices for our Fun Monday subject.
The first is ‘What is the one thing you would like to ask your readers? Come up with a question to pose to your visitors and throw it out there.’
The second […]
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 […]
Story over and Miss M snuggles down under her soft pink duvet. On the verge of sleep but not quite ready to surrender, I see a look of concentration on her face, her lips firm, eyes frowning and head cocked to the right, deep in thought.
Then a small hand rests gently on my […]
So you know they say what goes around comes around, karma and all that?

And not funny like a small badger playing […]

I promised to show you just how tired I was yesterday. That’s a kind of abstract thing to show right? But I can do it as I am clever like that.
No I don’t have a special chart that displays levels of tiredness according to eyelid droopage or size and shade of under eyebags.

Miss M is off school today. She has conjunctivitis so is a little sore and battered about the eyes but otherwise fine. Just before lunch she tramps into the kitchen wearing Miss E’s flippers, tugs on my arm and clears her throat.
Miss M: “Mummy, where shall my go to get to […]
Karisma is our host for today and she wants to know about “the things you have made with your own two hands or feet”, not including children.
I’m one of those people who likes to make stuff. I’ll have a go at anything. I’ve painted my kids walls, done fun stuff with my camera, […]
