A day in the life of living with Harry.  Let’s take Thursday 31st October, Halloween, seems appropriate.  Harry awoke me at 05:50, he’s an early morning dude, I get that. Every morning I wake up breathing I think is a win.  Half awake and needing the loo I practically fell to the floor when HarryContinue reading “Harry xxx”

I was just sat in our conservatory admiring the clear, crisp, sun kissed sky and gearing up for a rendition of Oklahoma in my brain when I got rudely awoken from my reverie by Princess Fluffypants.  She literally plonked herself down next to me and prodded me with a chunky paw.  I had been upContinue reading “Oh what a bee-yow-ti-ful morning! Xxx “

The crux of the matter is that I am poorly sick.  We’re talking a head full of bogies, burning chest, sore throat, headache and queasy tummy.  From the minute I got up this morning to now I have had the opposite of the Midas Effect!  Everything I have touched has turned to poo!  Whilst tryingContinue reading “Should have stayed in bed xxx “

It was a Wednesday. The sky was grey and there was a faint mist in the air, only joking! Well, not about the it being Wednesday part.  We got back from the school run to find Dad sitting in complete silence, reading a book by window light.  Well this is all incredibly eco and pennyContinue reading “This one comes with a health warning x “

So, it turns out I’m now a football Mum! Like most things that seem to happen to our family, it started by accident.  Harry wanted to play football on real grass! Not indoors, not on a playground, but on real grass. I thought it might be a whimsy that would pass, but it wasn’t.  TheContinue reading “Football Mum xxx “

How can something so minimal ricochet into such a domino effect?  I’m talking about data. Not the Star Trek kind, but the mobile kind.  Gosh, where to start? Well, we’d been on holiday to Cornwall, but you already know about that.  The boys appreciate screen time and I always have ample data so I setContinue reading “Sticky Predicament xxx”

Well that was nice!  I’ve actually made myself giggle. Really not in the mood to write, tired and have a headache. How funny would it be if that was all I wrote about our week away? Well that was nice.  So obviously it was filled with the usual delicious stuff like welly walks, bodyboarding, crabbing,Continue reading “Holibobs Cornwall 2024 xxx”

I’m going to level with you readers. I’ve been finding it hard to get the boys to settle at bedtime over the holidays.  On the one hand it’s good that they are happy, excited and have lots to look forward to. On the other, I’m pooped and need to chillax with Lee, Netflix and preferablyContinue reading “We had an okay day xxx “

It was Sunday night. Day 5 of the holidays and all was going well. For those of you who watched Big Brother, I totally said that in the voice of Marcus Bentley, the narrator. Harry was feeling apprehensive about going to Summer camp. He’s a meat and two veg, stay at home kind of guy.Continue reading “Winds of Change xxx”

And relax? Seriously? What am I saying? Summer holidays with 7 year old twin boys is definitely not relaxing! Challenging might be a better word for it! Just the other day our little Ollie looked at me with his big grey / green eyes and loving smile and said, “Mummy, I think you’d be REALLYContinue reading “And Relax xxx”
