My work here is done.
One child downstairs moaning, the other upstairs whinging, and all because I stopped the den game because I couldn’t stand the constant bickering and screaming! Bleargh. What was that about cabin fever? Wonder if getting out to the shops counts … Continue reading
So they watched Look and Read – what else?
I worked. It was not overly satisfying today. Big watched Look and Read, as has been said before (I’ve just gone wandering off to Ebay to see if the book is available, and this one isn’t. Shame.) Small doesn’t like … Continue reading

Sometimes I hate Sundays.
Sunday evenings to be precise. When the weekend is nearly over, and I’ve got to sort out the kitchen and the living room table, and work out whether there’s anything to package and post and it seems like about 30 … Continue reading
A lovely day of many friends
Started the day with a lie-in, always good Then hurtled myself out of bed at 9.47 as Kris was due at 10 (although the agreement had been ’10 – very ish’ to be imprecise! ) and I wanted to be … Continue reading
