I’m on a roll! Decided to not waste another day. Bit of an odd morning – got up before 9 and it was still dark. Huge heavy grey clouds and the foghorns sounding from the coast. Then the rain came … Continue reading →

Only me though. Spent most of the day trying to put together business cards – who knew that they want a three week lead in time to print them. Grrr. I really ought to get myself more organised. And didn’t … Continue reading →

Sunday. Beaver’s fun day out at the scout campsite. Felt like I spent the whole day running around like a loon – took Small out to the campsite, went on to mothercare to try to buy some breastfeeding tops for … Continue reading →

A local friend found an art group for the children, runs 10-12 Saturday morning. There was of course the obligatory argument about leaving the house with Small, even though he’s the one that is particularly artistic. Or at least the … Continue reading →

I’ve been online for ooh, over a decade. I remember being introduced to internet shopping (Tim probably regrets showing me Amazon tbh ) and I met him on an email list. So I’m fairly net literate. So how come I … Continue reading →

how do you do it? I’ve got a T-mobile deal atm which costs me £5 a month and gives me unlimited texts and 100 minutes. As you may be able to tell, I don’t do a lot of talking on … Continue reading →

Tuesday we were back in time for swimming. Lessons went OK, although Big was a little miffed to have a substitute teacher. First time in ages for her, although it’s quite common for Small. On the way home Small suddenly … Continue reading →

We spent Monday in a field. It was good. I didn’t want Monday to disappear as an ordinary day. I think of my sister every day, but some days are bigger than others, and this was a big one. Two … Continue reading →

to Cybermummy (you may have noticed the discreet badge in the sidebar). Courtesy of So, for the ppl who may be traipsing over from a cybermummy meet and greet – hi! This is me: The pirate and the rainbox girl, … Continue reading →

The theme of Sticky Fingers Gallery this week is motherhood. Recently, we saw my sisters, and one of them has a husband who has a really nice camera and he took some great shots of me and the kids. It’s … Continue reading →

Can’t believe that I finally managed to clear all the draft posts only to instantly fall a week behind again! I’m not going to try to reconstruct day by day, just quickly fill in some notable occurences, and will have … Continue reading →

Music group, then picnic and sports day in a local park. Lovely afternoon, many friends. We didn’t make it to music in time for theory, which wasn’t a huge problem in that Small has stopped taking part in music altogether … Continue reading →

After a difficult day yesterday with frequent (loud) heights of emotion, Big seems to have reached a moment of decision. We talked a little last night about how she could deal with difficult moments, and then talked more today about … Continue reading →

10000+ steps. Shopping – bought cake tins! Swimming, badges 3-6 for Big, 2 for Small. Not a cheap night for me then I really wish I put a bit more detail into these draft posts. Or that I wrote them … Continue reading →

We’d had ppl overload. A week of friends, family, partying and travel, and the children were somewhat fractious. So we had a quiet couple of days in and around the house to see if we could pull ourselves back together. … Continue reading →

Small had a friend over. It doesn’t happen very often – we just don’t seem to have met all that many families with just a friend for him. There are some with friends for both of them, lots with friends … Continue reading →

Having had a week of hectic days and very many ppl, I decided we needed a quiet day at home. So obviously when we got a text at lunchtime suggesting a meet up at the local play area we regretfully … Continue reading →

Despite Small’s reluctance we headed out to the second day of the Suffolk show today. It was another glorious day, slightly warmer than yesterday even. As the baby’s sunhat mysteriously went missing yesterday during her change (Big went back and … Continue reading →

Weds morning is music morning. And after music today we were heading for the Suffolk Show After music we usually head off, so why did it take me so much longer than usual to get organised this morning? I’ve no … Continue reading →
