I thought I’d be able to give Spud’s hair a quick trim without upsetting him too much. So I put one of his favourite T.V. programmes on, gave him a packet of cheese snacks and hoped for the best… BEFORE AFTER Well, he wasn’t very happy about it at all and the haircut is [...]

June 18, 2007Planting seeds in his pyjamas
April 30, 2007Well not quite planting seeds in his pyjamas! The seeds went into the pot. Another great ‘outside’ day with Spud. The little boy I mind has tonsilitis *jumping up for joy* Time for me and my little man to re-bond. It’s also an ideal time to concentrate on his toilet-training. I’ll whip off his pants [...]
Happy Mothers Day!
March 18, 2007I had breakfast in bed with lots of goodies! Hubby cooked me poached eggs, low-fat sausages, spinach, parma ham, toast with low-fat margerine and a large cup of Nescafe with 1/3 tsp sugar and slimline milk. It was delicious. The girls then gave me M&S flowers in a bag, chocolate hearts and a chocolate flowerpot (can’t wait [...]
We’re cookin’ on gas!
December 29, 2006We’re here in the kitchen cooking some of the party food for tomorrow night’s party. No.1 is cleaning mushrooms for the vol-au-vent filling and No.2 is looking for an apron then she will be chopping mushrooms. The vol-au-vents are rising nicely and my 2yr old son is pre-occupied with a life-size Bob the Builder [...]

Chatting with Babybull, Maria, Mo and Artbag!
October 25, 2006For some reason, I am unable to add my ‘new friends’ blog to my ‘Favourite Blogs’ so until I do, please go to it via TCP!!!
Domesticated…
October 20, 2006*I wish I’d have had my camera this morning. My little boy (now 2) devoured a little pot of yogurt. He stuck his face in it and came up with a very messy complexion and a big grin. These are the moments I cherish. The pic here is a few months ago when he decided to [...]
A Mothers Task?
October 19, 200625 REASONS I OWE MY MOTHER 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE. “If you’re going to kill each other, do it outside. I just finished cleaning.” 2. My mother taught me RELIGION. “You better pray that will come out of the carpet.” 3. My mother taught me about [...]
