Before I forget- We're having a barbecue on Saturday June 14th if you local ladies can make it. It's our first large get together in this house as we haven't felt like the house has been ready for company previously! It's taken a while but I think we're finally getting there so it's a very belated h...

Hiya I haven't got on here all week as have had an endless stream of visitors. My Dad has been over from the West country to do some work on my friends house in Kent. He is literally re-plastering every room in her house so when he hasn't been staying here, my friend and her children have. Exhausted...

Evening. We've had a lovely laid back but busy day. I went out to aldi to do the weekly shop this morning, got some bits from home bargains, went to Zumba class, showered, made lunch, made a banana cake (great minds Tracy!), made a lasagne and then settled down with kids to watch Harry putter and th...

What's flickers Rachel? Isla and I spent a couple if hours over southchurch park this morning. We bought bread and fed the ducks and cygnets. Then on to the playground where every child was Islas best friend for 5mins before she moved on to the next one. Fickle creature that she is. Home for lunch a...

Hope you manage some rest today Louise. We've watched the first series of game of thrones. Loved it, we're waiting for Andy's sis to finish series 2 box set. Did the hour and a half school run then home to blitz upstairs and bathrooms. I've just been doing some admin for Andy before I go out for Isl...

Knackered, waiting for motivation to go make dinner. Andy dropped kids off this morning and I went to the gym and did an hour of cardio. Home to blitz the downstairs- tidied, polished, hoovered and mopped before lunch. Picked up Isla and now seem to have lost all energy and my head is banging. Have ...

Finn was like that from starting reception right through to January! One long bloody phase but it's all part of testing boundaries and growing up. Hopefully it won't last that long for you Kris! Went to the gym for an hour of cardio this morning than popped into town to get some birthday cards and w...

Watered and eaten your lunch? Was it a pot noodle? Isla's at cockleshell until the summer hols when she'll start at Hamstel. She's loving it. I've joined fitness4less in the town. It's brilliant. Just £16 a month. They have loads of classes and great equipment. They even provide free parking in the ...

Afternoon all. Hope Jack and William both perk up soon. Love this weather. We had a great weekend and spent yesterday down the beach. Kids and I walked to school and nursery this morning. Then I came home and did some birthday gifts shopping on net. Quick change and then I went to the gym to do an L...

Hiya It's gawjus out there. Isla and I took our time walking back from school through the duck ponds. She's doesn't have nursery on Fridays so it's mummy and Isla day. I tried Zumba last night. Anyone else done it? It was one of my more embarrassing moments. I always imagine I have good rhythm and c...

Hello ladies. Remember me? It's been bloody ages since I was last on here. Our laptop screen is buggered and I just haven't the patience to mess about on it. I've just got my new phone so using this instead. It's been a busy few weeks for us. Isla is at nursery every morning except Fridays now so I'...

Brrr bit chilly today despite the sunshine. We were meant to do boxercise this morning but Finn didn't want to. Spent morning at home doing and hanging washing. I took the life to fun factory this afternoon to burn off some energy. And and I are taking them into London tomorrow to do the museums. Ho...

Morning. We were out until late last night so kids had a sleep in. They didn't stir until 9am which is very rate for them. Andy and I were up normal time so it was a treat to enjoy a cuppa together without cartoons and rowing in the background. We went for a lovely walk to padlesham (?) And a drink ...

Evening all. what a beautiful day it turned out to be. Kids and I went into town to pay some pennies into the bank and post a parcel. Then later I packed up a picnic and Tracy and I took the kids to southchurch park. Ended up spending hours there before going for an ice cream on the beach. A late di...
