Two for the price of one

Posted on Mon Jun 15 2009 by Jax

days that is. And I really mustn’t do this, if I don’t blog the day slightly after the fact, I lose all the details. Let’s see, I’m trying to remember Sunday. It started slowly I think, with children’s tv, most … Continue reading →

Some much needed socialisation

Posted on Sat Jun 13 2009 by Jax

for me! The children attend Brownies and Beavers, and on Tuesday Big starts swimming lessons. I offer a variety of other opportunities to get out and about, and they take me up on walks to the beach, library outings, shopping. … Continue reading →

The personal stuff

Went to doctor’s about Small this morning, referral to community paediatrician set in motion. Not sure what they do, but there you go. That was after I’d slept in, I’m not sleeping well during the night, so given that I’d … Continue reading →

Looking at bikes.

Posted on Tue Jun 9 2009 by Jax

Can’t actually remember what went on this morning (maybe there’s a drawback to not brightkiting after all ) although I’m sure there was something that I was planning on blogging. Then just before lunchtime we decided we’d walk out with … Continue reading →

And another day passes

Posted on Thu Apr 2 2009 by Jax

Tim and Small finished putting the curtain rail back up this morning and thus the computer/ tv ban was over, so they celebrated with a viewing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I saw a game, Harry Potter … Continue reading →

working out which way is up

Posted on Wed Apr 1 2009 by Jax

Actually did some stuff with/for the kids today – unpacked five boxes labelled craft shelves in the hope of finding the cards, and only found one kit, but it was enough to get them both set up making birthday cards … Continue reading →

spinning in circles.

Posted on Fri Mar 6 2009 by Jax

Yesterday I got organised in the morning and took Tim’s car into town, drove it round the town centre three times, then gave up, parked it in a vacant space on a cross road, and carried four box loads of … Continue reading →

Boredom is good for them.

Posted on Sat Feb 21 2009 by Jax

Over the last day or two, the children have started to get bored of the television and computer. This shows quite simply – they fight, which is not so good, and then they start to do other things, which is … Continue reading →

Unsuccessful charity shop scouring

Posted on Wed Feb 18 2009 by Jax

Given the number of Harry Potters in print, I find it slightly amazing how few there are in the charity shops in this town – our only find today was Azkaban, and we already have two copies of that. Oh … Continue reading →

A Harry Potter household.

Posted on Tue Jan 27 2009 by Jax

We travelled back from edge-of-country house to middle-of-country house much later than hoped for yesterday afternoon, given complete waffling around rather than rapid packing yesterday morning. We were accompanied by the dulcet tones of Stephen Fry again, and arrived home … Continue reading →

Sunday swimming

Posted on Sun Jan 25 2009 by Jax

Another lovely lie in, although I awoke to perfectly horrid weather, rain lashing down and winds howling or something to that effect. Certainly not a day for walking to libraries or swimming pools, and the birdwatch was a bit of … Continue reading →

Posted on Wed Jan 21 2009 by Jax

Got a voicemail from D, stepfather yesterday. Apparently it’s the coroner’s inquest for my sister today, which obviously I can’t go to as I’m in CP, but various other family members are going to. Felt very excluded and emotional for … Continue reading →

Harry Potter and swimming.

Posted on Tue Jan 20 2009 by Jax

Despite heckling and all the rest of it, I did go to bed positively early last night. I then laid there for hours listening to a computer rebooting itself with monotonous regularity and eventually got disturbed by Tim coming to … Continue reading →

Defensive orgo planning

Posted on Fri Jan 2 2009 by Jax

For pretty much as long as she has been able to talk, Big’s last question of the day has been “what are we doing tomorrow?” and my standard answer is “I don’t know yet”. I’m not a person who lives … Continue reading →

Bringing in the cavalry

Posted on Thu Jun 23 2005 by Jax

Posted on Mon Apr 4 2005 by Jax

I’ve been having complete chaos workwise on the ‘puter, as well as still trying to study for my java exam (which I’ve wimped out on and postponed for another couple of weeks) so I haven’t felt all that much like … Continue reading →
