  • Out and about

    for pretty much the whole day. I was operating completely on autopilot this morning which would explain how I managed to get to the Chesterfield group with only about half of the stuff I set out to take. Hohum. The good news is that there is another woman who has small children who is interested…

  • Don't seem to have seen much of the children today

    or not of both of them anyway. Slept in this morning, can’t think why 😉 Then P rang, and offered to have Big overnight tonight, after she’d been shopping. I offered to have A while she went shopping so she said she would drop him off about 2. I set out with a very grumpy…

  • Started the day

    with a family row. 🙁 Not our little family here – it appears my decision not to trek up the road to meet up today didn’t go down well. Oh well – I felt the decision was justified when Big went into meltdown this afternoon *despite* (or maybe because??) me not turning on the computer…

  • only one Sarah

    we were hoping for two! Still, very glad to hear that you made it home safely, and that all is well. Don’t blame you for that decision at all, and even Big seemed to understand. Took me ages to get started this morning – needed to tidy up and stuff and instead found another job…

  • Ropey start, but we recovered well.

    Small is just full of cold – I hauled myself upstairs and steamed myself gently in the shower for a bit and that seemed to help. Once done with that, rolled up my sleeves, metaphorically speaking, and cracked on. Big did lunch again, while I was showering, and after it we successfully made cinnamon scented…

  • Aargh….

    Well, today I have learnt that the work rate of a four year old is nowhere *near* that of a 34 year old. In the time it took me to make 10 hama stars, Big assembled the rest of one card….mind I have got it down to a star a minute (which I know is…

  • Sheffield puddlers

    Another late morning – must get a grip on this. Mornings are drifting and bedtimes are slipping and before I know it it’s lunchtime and time to go out…I made gloop this morning and then didn’t get around to putting the washing in, so we’re getting very close to an underwear crisis (I *hate* that).…

  • Good weekend.

    Big was out for the night Friday night, then I picked her up for swimming Saturday morning. Slight glitch was that it was her teacher’s birthday so she’d taken a day off, and there was a standin. The good news is that this was the chap who taught Big in the summer, lovely man, and…

  • Last one for the day

    And I’m currently dragging a pile of things off the camera, so you might want to try scrolling down past all the quizzes to see what other goodies have appeared 😉 Long lie in for us all this morning – Big surfaced after 9 as far as I can tell, Tim got up at 9.15…

  • just in case

    anyone wasn’t sure of the educational worth of hama – “how many beads do I need….1, 2, 3, 4….. I’ve done one bit, it’s a great triangle, and that’s just half of a square!” rofl…
