Sometimes I wonder if I’m just a little too honest with the boys. I’ve always believed honesty is the best policy and I like to know where I stand, I prefer a yes or no to a maybe. It’s the Easter “holiday”. I use the word “holiday” lightly. The boys are in sports camp andContinue reading “Confetti xxx”

I am like a pressure cooker or a tightly wound spring. So much to organise and sort in the next two weeks, but I don’t want to bore you with that. Besides my friend Lou said not to worry because I’ll get it done and she’s right. Plus we watched The Ogglies this morning andContinue reading “Under pressure xxx”

It’s been a while my friends, I’ve been in hiding, it’s all been too emotional. However, I’ve put my big girl pants on and now I’m back to share a little story with you and hopefully brighten your day. So you know this emotional tug I’ve been having with the boys playing on their tablets?Continue reading “Be brave xxx”

How nice it is to put used toilet paper in the toilet again, strange the things we miss whence abroad. Baths! I missed my bath! Couldn’t complain though because our bathroom looked like a marble spa and I could open the window and watch the sunrise over the mountains of Fuerteventura whilst in the shower.Continue reading “Home xxx”

Holiday, defined in the Oxford dictionary as “a period of time spent travelling or resting away from home”. Well we have definitely travelled away from home, but I’m not sure if we’ve rested. I chuckled to myself at the pool earlier when I heard a Mum say the following as a sentence with barely aContinue reading “Holiday xxx”

It’s been a funny old week. Change funny to stressful. We’re going on holiday Saturday. I know you know that already, anyone who knows me does, even those who don’t like the lady at Tesco and the Sky engineer! It blurts out of me at every opportunity. I’m just so excited! It’s the light atContinue reading “Half term February 2022 xxx”

I was so close to screaming, not even exaggerating! I could feel it welling up inside of me yearning to come out out in one tremendous banshee wail! But I didn’t, I abstained. I did however tell the boys who thought about it for a few seconds and then either decided to ignore me orContinue reading “And breathe xxx”

I’m aware I haven’t been in touch for a while, to be honest it’s all been a bit of a hard slog, being solar powered, these grey days are starting to take their toll. So I had a word with myself and the husband and booked a holiday. It’s only a few weeks away soContinue reading “Long time no speak…”

My husband is a genius, fact! And not because I am sat in the bubble bath he ran me or because he has taken all four children to the skate park to give me some peace. I was having a little moan about feeling desperately tired due to not being able to sleep well sardinedContinue reading “Sleep xxx”

Gosh, I’m not sure where to start, I’m all discombobulated ( good word, I know, one of my favourites!). However my friend Mary (well, she’s more of a life guru really), once said to me to just start and gave me this analogy which I have drawn from so many times, “ when you’ve hadContinue reading “Blue Monday xxx”
