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. At 9 o’clock I was asking Small to stop screaming shut up. Why wouldn’t you [...]

Stick ‘em in the comments if you want to share! Other than [...]

Not quite sure how the children entertained themselves for most of yesterday, as Tim and I were busy sorting and reorganising to move ourselves down from the loft bedroom.

Wednesday wanderings.

After a jampacked Tues, obviously the next thing to do was have a fun filled Weds too. Hm. Not sure that I’ve quite got the hang of this scheduling yet. Anyway, we started out by dashing over to the next town to drop off my TMA – looked like there was another envelope without stamp [...]
