achingly proud...

The morning started with 9am queuing outside Argos, the item was reserved yesterday and the £130 clutched close to my heart... in my handbag at the very least! Only at the checkout he asked for £...

in the bath

And it ain't a reality check! I don't need a reality check after this week in which tally has been getting very stressed because she doesn't do transition, so this being my first week without chi...

bitch mode!

I'm having an exhausting but fun time doing the Big Sort! Well, you know that! My living room looks worse than before because all the contents of the childminding furniture is on the floor, in bo...

**PURGE**

But not the scary type, like the movie. Since finishing work on Friday I have done all sorts of things in preparation for my big sale. All my buggies (three of them) are cleaned out and have thei...


Because I'd be laughing them off by now! Seriously, they be flying across the room, knocking nick nacks from shelves and destroying cobwebs on their way. ahh, a good laugh cures all frustration s...

finished cushion.

I have finished making the cushion for Libby. I did it using purely things that I already have so it didn't cost me any (extra) money. I sewed all the hexigans together and machine stitched the r...


...but I don't remember what I need to bullet! this is my last week of childminding. I still haven't received my contract from the school and feel rather antsy about it. I planned to make Libby...

The language survey.

1: Your native language. English 2: Which languages you know. English, Spanish and I understand some French and German 3: Which languages you are learning, or want to learn. I've been learning ...

non mummsy hair.

I have an ongoing battle with myself to not look mummsy, I mean, I love being a mum; you know I do. But, there's a huge part of me that still wants to come across as youthful (even though my skin...


WHERE: I'm still in bed - I woke up at 3.30, after 5 hours sleep and my shoulder hurts, I must have been lying in a strange position. But I couldn't get back to sleep. It's 5.30 now and I'm start...

chillies.

As you know, we enjoy exploring the different, searching out experiences beyond our understanding and knowledge, stretching the experience we already have. Today was no different when Rich spotte...


WHERE: it's Friday morning, it's early so there can only be one place.... The Bath! WEARING: my new wrist thongs (i.e. bracelets). On my left wrist I have a rainbow one made of thread. It turns ...

My new class.

I spent the afternoon with my new class today, it was interesting, fun, hard work and made it all suddenly seem very real! My teacher is one of the people who interviewed me and seems very nice,...

international day...

bullets? Well, why not! after a ridiculously small quantity of sleep, I awoke unable to eat breakfast. This is because I had to hand out letters of resignation today. Libby's mum took it quite h...

poooooooo

The toilet blocked tonight. Well and truly blocked. Rich commented, apparently, that he thought it was a little blocked before he left to go out tonight. I didn't hear him. I then nit-combed Lil...

all I can say.

Is thank goodness for Nuerofen and paracetamol. I'm not sure that I'd get through today without them. I have a virus of some kind and I have a meeting at the new job. And I'm working too.

lights out.

I turned down an interview at volunteer school today, the business manager sounded really disappointed, but I think I did the right thing. It wouldn't be fair to mess the first school around. And...

normality reigns.

After several weeks, during which I was either applying for jobs or studying for interviews, I have finally been free to not do anything! It still isn't common knowledge but I've finally been o...

I'm so tired that I don't know how I've made it this long - I only have half an hour of work left. I can do it. I can do it. I can do izzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz WAKE UP!! I think that dinner will be...

amusing anecdote.

It's not just the time off the month, auntie Flo seems to have moved in, well and truly! On Friday I went to the loo with Libby (2.5 years old) and she caught site of my pad... "Marmite on your ...

bullets, methinks.

Lila will turn six on Monday. She is more and more excited by this as every second goes by. Her party is tomorrow (Sunday) and we have booked a bouncy castle for the back garden. It isn't the us...

June 26th.

This week has been... well, hard to find a good description! Rich and I realised that we would have every night together except Thursday (tonight) as he goes out on Thursdays. It was a nice, rela...


My view on Friday evening after a rush hour, Lorry swerving, traffic jam filled journey. A nutella filled pancake! It was a small festival on a farm at the top of a hill in Oxfordshire. Thi...
