Planning for September

 We’re half way through the school holidays already and today we’re off to get the girls’ school books, schoolbags, uniforms and lunchboxes.     I’m looking at a  supplement of the Irish Independent and it shows the price difference between several clothing stores. Dunnes and Penneys being the cheapest. I must say though, I bought their uniforms [...]

I didn’t win :-(

  Imagine winning 16 million euro on the Irish Lottery by purchasing a   4 euro quickpick! A family of seven left their home in Cork last night after their identity was revealed! (My sources say she’s English, living in Dublin, married to an Irishman and calling herself Beccy…..)   I was so sure I’d be the lucky [...]

I need sunshine!

  After being assured we were to have the best Summer on record for many years, it turns out we are having the worst. Eight weeks of Summer holidays in a wet country with four children is not easy.  To top it off, all ‘last minute bargain holidays’ have gone and hubby has next week off! [...]

Yuk!

  A job which has been bugging me… the kitchen door doesn’t close without needing a push. It’s dust, fluff and general cra* collected from the floor. The same with the kitchen chairs…yuk! I slid a j-cloth along the bottom of the door and it all came a away… Back here for more tackles

Monday

  Menu planning with Organising Junkie again, and it’s never been so easy. I kept to last weeks plan, no problem. This week I’m trying to get more vegetables into all of us! Sunday~Pork chops, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms , roast potatoes and gravy (unusual combination, I know, but it was lovely!) Monday~For the children: Potato waffles and [...]
