Tired tweeting.
Typing one handed and slightly tipsy over the head of a beautiful babe slowly going to sleep at my breast. On my breast? Whatever. She is definitely beautiful. They all are. The gorgeous 11 yo who doesn’t fit under my chin any more. The slightly shaggy 7 year old just visiting from another planet. The…
Unhooking the moon #100books
This is book 64, and was sent to us, iirc, by WHSmith in support of our 100book challenge. It’s a preteen novel, and the plot line brought to mind Homecoming by Cynthia Voigt, which is one of my favourite pre teen books. As such, I swiped this one from Big’s tbr pile, and took it…
Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Contraptions Manual by Haynes – review and giveaway #100books
We’ve been sent some great stuff to review as part of the 100 books challenge, but this has been one of Small’s favourites. So I’m particularly glad to have been sent two copies – meaning I can give one away without having to pry it out of Small’s grasping fingers! We like Haynes stuff here.…

Safe harbour #100books
Yes, yes, I know it’s not January any more, but sadly we didn’t manage to read/review 100 books then, so we’re just finishing off. I confess I haven’t done much reading for myself this week – a bit burnt out, don’t know how that happened. Have read loads of lovely picture books to the baby,…
Slendertone review – it's #tingletime!
When I was offered a chance to review a Slendertone product I thought it was time to have a go at my poor abused abs using the Slendertone System Abs Toning Belt Womens. After all, having children isn’t precisely good for that part of the anatomy (if you’ve never looked at a diagram at what…
Foraging for books at the library #100books
I grabbed as many classics as I could find. Classics that everyone will recognise, like The Gruffalo (which at least has realistic relationships between the animals all sizing each up as a snack) and classics that I suspect just our family love, like One Gorilla: A Magical Counting Book. (I love this one for being…
Divide and Rule #100Books
I borrowed Divide and Rule from a friend’s last week (accidentally leaving my half finished review copy of O: A Presidential Novel there in exchange, so that won’t get finished and reviewed til next week now, *oops*). I like Jan Mark – as is obvious by the fact that I’ve already reviewed a couple by…
Off the shelf #100books
A few more round up reviews of books that we’ve had around for ages and I’ve read again to Smallest. The Whales’ Song is one of the batch of mini treasures that we picked up, but it’s also a book we’ve had for a while. It doesn’t seem like a first picture book somehow –…
