A brief braces update.
A while ago I blogged our first few days of Big wearing her braces. I think a few ppl found it useful, as it is or was looming in their future, so I thougt it was probably time I dropped … Continue reading
When do charity requests cross the line?
Last night Big returned home from Guides with the instruction that they’ve to take £1.50 in next week as they are going to buy Innocent Smoothies and knit hats for them for charity. This confused me on several levels. First … Continue reading
Bit of a washout really, with the orthodontic next stage.
The drought is at least temporarily over in Suffolk. It’s done a lot of raining here today, which is a good thing – we’ve been missing it. It also means I haven’t had to carry the grey water out to … Continue reading
Hannibal returns.
Years ago, when I was a much younger and less experienced parent (and actually thought there might be a Right Way to do things, that only I didn’t know) Big went to nursery. It was a very good nursery. The … Continue reading
Hectic hurried days.
Have had a couple of horriedly hectic days this week, with appts in far flung places and odd gaps in between. Fortunately have managed to fill some of the gaps with friends, like the Puddles and the Beans It’s cost … Continue reading
A quick octopus craft.
Trying to get my crafting mojo back atm, so I said I would try for something for RedTedArt Under the sea Get Crafty. In the end I took part in a purely supervisory role… What you will need for this … Continue reading
PMM or, yet another afternoon at the leisure centre.
I spent yet more hours of my life at the leisure centre yesterday. On a Saturday afternoon, when I could have been outside in the glorious sunshine. Only the hardcore were there – about 15 members of the swimming club … Continue reading
Day 6 – an unexpected dentist #30dayplan
I’m beginning to understand why I rarely seem to get on top of anything. I know I’m very poor at organisation, but on the one day that I should have had a clear run at various stuff, I ended up … Continue reading
Kentwell and 1553.
Today I dragged the children out of bed just after 7, nearly three hours earlier than their preferred rising time in order to drag them 45 mins across country to an open day for potential re-enactors at Kentwell Hall. It … Continue reading
Day the third, in which we finally crack the orthodontic wax thing.
Another long day today. In hindsight, having a hectic week when Big was having her braces fitted wasn’t a good plan, but several things snuck themselves in there independently, and there wasn’t anything that could easily give. So today we … Continue reading
Braces day 2, line dancing and Guides.
Baby had me up at 2something or other am, and then at 7 and then at 8. So you’ll excuse me if this is rather disjointed, but I want to jot some notes down anyway. Didn’t run this morning – … Continue reading
Ages and stages and a proud mummy moment.
We had another of those days today. One of those milestones that creep up on you, that you don’t know will hit you til it does. Big went for her first fixed braces fitting, and suddenly she looks teen in … Continue reading
A bit of an odd day
Today there was a fallout in the house. (Actually, there are often fallouts in the house, it’s to do with having children :/ ) Today, though some technology fell out with some other technology – for reasons best known only … Continue reading
SATs all folks!
I started yesterday with the best intentions to catch up on paperwork and blogging. We all know about best intentions Ah well, lots of other stuff was achieved instead. As part of my continuing (ongoing, proactive ) campaign to improve … Continue reading
Cake, cookies, Guides and fundraising.
I confess that I wasn’t planning to join in with the Friday Club this week. I’m not much of a one for baking. I’m just not good at it. I follow instructions carefully, and at the end, get back something … Continue reading
It’s all about perception. Oh, and nutrition.
For some reason that I don’t quite understand, Big feels that she is behind where she would be if she were in school. I doubt that’s true. There are definitely things she hasn’t covered that she might have done, but … Continue reading
And still they came #100books
Few more reviews that the kids finished off earlier. Big reviewed There’s A Pharaoh In Our Bath! – her third Jeremy Strong of the week I think. And I took a look at the fourth Astral Legacies book, The Elephants’ … Continue reading
More reviews from the children #100books
Big has been reading some Jeremy Strong, Read her reviews on Shinglestreet at The Battle for Christmas and The Beak Speaks. Small has read and reviewed Reviews at Worse things happen at sea and Safe Cracking for Students While three … Continue reading

for a quick blogpost to keep up the habit I’ve gotten into of blogging (at least once) every day. It’s been a good day. At 9 o’clock this morning I couldn’t forecast I’d be ending the day saying that though. … Continue reading
