So I’m not sure if you’ll remember but I was poisoning our son. We believe (actually hope it’s nothing more serious) that he has Coeliac Disease. We went to the doctors and they said to keep feeding him gluten for 6 months and then book him in for some blood tests. Well I managed toContinue reading “Our brave little soldier xxx”

Well our little Ollie certainly woke with a spring in his step Friday morning. He bounced over to me and pretty much sang, “ Do you know what I did last night Mummy? I read the whole of my book and I didn’t pee my pants!” He was so happy about it and what aContinue reading “Relax xxx”

So, every now and then, Ollie and Harry ask me to sleep in their room, more often than not. The sofa bed is lumpy and you could cut the fug with a knife due to their nightly fart fests, but I take them up on the invite because one day they won’t want me toContinue reading “Good morning xxx”

It’s been a while so I thought it was time to put pen to paper or finger to button which doesn’t sound quite as romantic. So the other evening, we were reading a bedtime story together when Ollie decided he needed some teddies to join us, fair enough. He went and rustled through and settledContinue reading “Perceptions xxx”

Please bear with me reader, we’re in the latter stages of half term and my children are sick! In the song by Hot Chocolate, It Started With A Kiss, with Harrison it started last Tuesday with a cough.

Let me tell you the story of Myrtle, I’ll take it from the top. The boys were their usual germ filled selves, but adamant to go to school. On this occasion I was worried about Harry’s nasty cough so worked from home expecting a call from the teachers to come and collect him. The callContinue reading “Myrtle xxx”

I love a Monday, always have, always will. Fresh start to the week, new beginnings, a chance to wipe the slate clean and start again. It’s a forgiveness for things that have passed before. Ha! Do you see? It was a trap! Not for you, goodness no, for me and I’ve grown wise to myselfContinue reading “Have a word xxx”

So there Ollie and I were, going about our business, doing something mundane like the laundry. Something was obviously troubling him, so I waited for him to formulate a question and braced myself for what it was. Please be an easy one! Ollie “Can you wee Mum?” Me “ Yes thank you” Ollie “WHAT? DoContinue reading “The joy of boys xxx”

Yep, I’m still here, but it’s been a humdinger of a week! With schools closing and no on-tap childcare I don’t know if I’m coming or going. I think Harry is going through a growth spurt, please let it be that, please let this be a phase as he is Emotional (yes, with a capitalContinue reading “Still here xxx”

Blimey, it’s been a while since I last wrote so thought I’d best make an effort. Let’s start with the boring stuff! Had steroids in my knee, it’s not buff and not to be trifled with! I no longer waddle through the office like a duck as one of my colleagues put it, thank youContinue reading “Blue xxx”
