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

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
on the fifth day of christmas
I went a bit mad entering Christmas advent competitions! There’s loads of them around. I did the Next one (£210 of gadgets today) and #12daysofNokia, EZPay via facebook to win £50, theluckygamer, cheapassgamer win everything, bambino goodies, Itchy…I’m sure I’ve … Continue reading
I really must stop shooting myself in the foot.
Especially when it has adverse effects on the children This morning we were due to set out early or mid morning for historyetc. I stayed up late trying to get stuff done beforehand, and then got up early to finish … Continue reading
More prize winning shenanigans
A little while back I entered a competition in the Times. It was celebrating/ promoting the National Trust Food Glorious Food campaign, and it included both admission and meal vouchers. I won. I like winning competitions So on Thursday we … Continue reading
Will you remember?
Do you even know today? What were you doing at 20:10 20/10 2010? Me, t’bloke, Small and the baby were at the table, eating as a family. Big was out. At 20:10 on 20/10 2010 she made her Guide promise … Continue reading
Long day and late night.
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. It was beginning to get a bit silly me climbing the … Continue reading
A day of two halves…
So let’s talk about the nice bits Big settled quickly to her work again this morning – it seems possible that I’ve now found the right level of things to be working with her on both spelling and handwriting so … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
Iron education and swimming.
On Friday I decided I needed to get to the bottom of my blood test results and understand whether I needed medication or not, and whether my preferred option of homebirth was a realistic one. So I nerved myself up … Continue reading
day with Em and back to Beavers.
Woke at 6.30, got up at 8.30 already feeling like it was nap time. Could have been a disastrous day accordingly, but fortunately found an email from Em inviting us over, so once Small had had time to come around … Continue reading
a one child sunday.
Big was off to a Guiding centenary event on Sunday, she had a guest invite for anyone who had been a brownie/guide before so we’d roped in a cousin who went right the way through to rangers. Was a good … Continue reading
Patchwork skirts and no outings.
Sunday we had intended to go to Bawdsey radar open day via the foot ferry. But instead, after the cooked breakfast, the girls and I started on a patchwork skirt for their toys. As is usual, I horrendously underestimated the … Continue reading
Saturday: sun, sand and sea.
Saturday morning evaporated away, I’m sure that there was playing, I seem to remember doing washing, oh and we communally weeded a tub to put in some tomato plants I’d been given. Turned out that the tub had previously had … Continue reading
If it’s Friday it must be Framlingham (again :) )
Friday heralded our last time travellers trip to Framlingham for the summer. We’d already finished the passports and put them in the post, and Small’s bag arrived in the morning. It’s not desperately exciting, but it will serve to remind … Continue reading
Forest school and swimming.
Falling behind in blogging again, it really won’t do! End of the month Thursday, so it was Forest School. I thought I’d got up in ample time to get us ready to go, but I had, as usual, underestimated the … Continue reading
Swimming, beach and quiet afternoon.
Last Tuesday morning swim – next week it reverts to evening sessions. Got up to find that the loo wouldn’t flush, didn’t appear to be refilling with water. Odd, but assumed it would be something Tim would sort out. (Yes, … Continue reading
Sunday sun.
Bil was very organised this morning and struck the tent before the preteens were awake. Well, the second bedroom and the outer anyway. When they woke up and stumbled out he asked them if anything was missing. “Um, the washing … Continue reading
5 children, 2 puters, 1 website.
Not a particularly good combination for a harmonious morning! Despite their late night, all children were up reasonably early, although the preteens were the last, unsurprisingly. They mainly managed to play on moshi monsters – there was an attempt to … Continue reading
