  • Next year for cybermummy…

    I’m going to make a list. It will have on it the names, blogs, twitter ids and avatars of everyone I want to meet. I will then require ppl to sign themselves off, as this morning I can’t work out who I met and who I didn’t! Yes, I’m a little ocd. Shame it doesn’t…

  • Barely tweeting, mainly living.

    Wake up. Feed Smallest milk before getting out of bed. Potter a bit, put kettle on, breakfast Smallest and snack myself, eventually saunter out for a run. Run 1.5 miles on just under 16 minutes. Home, shower, dress. Somewhere in and amongst put washing in, (nappies, strip sheet of double bed and bedside cot). Dress…

  • Fashion through the ages from the 1550s to 1960s

    It’s been a weekend for contemplating clothing. I tried on the kirtle from Kentwell last night, and think either I’d have to lose a bit more weight, or give up breathing for a week 🙁 Tried it on Big today and it looks rather more manageable, so will have to discuss with Katy whether to…

  • Kentwell and 1553.

    Today I dragged the children out of bed just after 7, nearly three hours earlier than their preferred rising time in order to drag them 45 mins across country to an open day for potential re-enactors at Kentwell Hall. It was a cold start to a long day, as we drove the bright sun was…

  • History week, science week, maths week…just an everything week.

    And it’s only Tuesday! Maths courtesy of mathletics as usual – although I had a tough few minutes when Big was working on simplifying fractions, Small was doing mental times and Smallest wanted me to read a book. Multi-tasking mummy, that’s me. But we made it through, somehow, and Small’s nearly finished his week’s points…

  • Getting Stuff Done.

    Feels like it should have a trademark 😉 I’ve achieved things today. Not quite as much as I want to do, but then, it never is. But I’ve done lots. We’ve got photos, for passports and Kentwell applications. I’ve printed out the applications, and I’ve to fill them out tonight. I went shopping so that…

  • Sunday at Kentwell

    Up early on Sunday as we had a freecycler coming round to collect two divan bases from the garage. In the end she took all three, and now we have half a garage clear. And Tim will be taking L’s stuff up to her in a couple of days, so that’ll be another couple of…

  • Mainly quiet but with added scan excitement.

    The children are thrilled with the presence of L, their big sister, and consequently ignored my existence all yesterday morning. Not a big problem as far as I’m concerned 😉 It’s great that they adore us so much, and lovely that she reciprocates 🙂 By lunchtime though I was trying to wrangle them into getting…
