  • “Internet romances never work out.”

    Hm. Guess I’m not going to list NCIS as the font of all wisdom then 😉 Let’s see, what have we done today? More primary history. Another reading lesson, another few grey hairs. Discussed it with Kirsty later, and decided a new approach is required – I’m getting locked into another of those string pulling…

  • Where's Kevin gone????

    Aargh, they changed everything on CBeebies, and for the first time in ages we’ve got Nick Jr on at bedtime – where’s Kevin and the bedtime song? What’s a Jimmer Jammer when it’s at home? Although it has to be said that Small seemed to rather enjoy it, he was bopping away with the best…

  • Soul asylum on the radio

    Did I remember this track for my life soundtrack? Runaway train – marvellous. Long warped days in Durham, close friends gone different ways to different worlds, hope they are smiling now. Anyway, today has been largely acceptable, but not much more. So we’ll gloss over that, and look back on yesterday instead. Went up to…

  • Clearing up my desktop

    the virtual one 😉 and found this. Can’t remember whether I ever posted it, so thought I really ought.

  • 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…

  • Eek, I seem to have covered some of the national curriculum

    how did that happen then? We did all this. in November. Wonder if there’s anything else we’ve covered without knowing it. Anyway, today. I’m afraid it hasn’t been the calmest start to the New Year. Shouty mummy made a big come back – something to do with having a madcap little girl, and a very…

  • Thought I should blog

    as I haven’t yet this year! As has been mentioned elsewhere, we went away for New Year’s Eve. Big was delivered back at 9am on the morning, along with her friend A, and I pottered about getting ready to go over to Meltham, while Tim raced about and went off to Leeds to meet with…

  • 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…

  • My adorable offspring

    Both of them. 🙂 Missed Big this morning – had to get Small’s breakfast all by myself! Seriously though, did make me realise that somewhere along the way it changed from being slow waiting for her to do whatever it was she wanted to do to help, to suddenly being really useful having her doing…

  • 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).…
