Miss E’s dream room and a birthday

Tuesday, August 12, 2008

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 [...]

Today we are off to a small village just outside Plymouth in Devon, where my Auntie has lived on and off for about 28 years. The same Auntie who stayed with us last week. The same Auntie who means the world to me. The same Auntie who is putting us up in her spare room and allowing two [...]

It’s 10.15pm and I’ve just settled Miss M. Miss E is at a sleepover at her friends where we barbecued tonight, and the post wedding lunch at my mum and dad’s was lovely. As for the wedding, it was perfect. No really, it was. The kids were amazing, the bride and groom gorgeous and smiling and the people really, [...]

Fun Monday today comes from the wild and wonderous IamwhoIam at Dungarees Ablaze (Hope those adjectives are ok. ) She says; “..lets hear about your favorite “Birthday”, it needn’t be your actual birthday just a birthday celebration. You can use one you planned, one you attended, one you crashed, just a fun time for [...]

Last night I didn’t get to sleep until about 4am. I blame these ladies. Today has thus far, been crazy. First Ingenious Junior’s party, then deliver Miss M home, then deliver Miss E to school for her performance, then shopping, then watch performance with Holl and Queen of Hearts, then goodbyes and [...]

..because he is marrying this girl. And she is amazing. And my other brother is darn lucky too ‘cos he married the other girl in this picture 11 years ago. They are seriously wicked and I love them to bits. We had the best time. I am tired, my jaw aches from laughing and I have spent so [...]

Today I am in Manchester, home of the lovely Lindy and number 10 Gerard Street (ok, it’s technically in Salford but you’ll let me off right?) where the word ‘knob’ was written on every other wall outside when I lived there for a brief 10 weeks in 1993. In less than 3 weeks time my baby [...]

And then Miss E said…

Sometimes Miss E gets a little fed up of her little sister’s questions. They come thick and fast and are often repeated, ridiculous and random. Generally Miss E copes very well. She is a lovely big sister and answers with patience, sharing her nearly eight year old knowledge with thought and care, [...]

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. There [...]
