We started going in the summer because, well, it was summer... Its a 45 minute walk each way to our local leisure centre which although it a rather sweaty walk, its a lot nicer to do it in the summer than in the winter when its raining, windy and cold... Plus I don t want to be walking home with all of us having wet hair... Getting the bus is not an option because they barely run on Sunday s and we d have to walk 15 minutes to the nearest bus stop that would get us up there so we don t really see the point... … View Post »
Everyone says this, I have the best kid ever... You always think your child/ren is/are the best child that has ever been born and even along with the tantrums and the hitting and kicking and screaming, when they re behaving themselves, all of that, which even though only happened half an hour previous, just totally fades away... Its probably a good job too because otherwise there would probably be a Parent Protection Agency and all us stay-at-home mums and dads would have been taken away for mistreatment by now... One thing you must do is tell her if the back door needs shutting... I like to be left alone for a certain length of time during the day and I think she must have learnt that from me... Being toilet trained is a very independant thing but she seems quite content to let me change her nappy several times a day even though she has some Peppa Pig knickers in her drawer (the novelty wore off after a week) and Elmo knickers on the way... … View Post »

I really need to do something with the house today... I ve pretty much been doing okay with the kitchen up until last night where I just did nothing because I basically didn t want to... My room isn t a mess but its definitely not looking tidy and I m getting into bed every night thinking it needs to be done... I m going to make a list of everything I need to do here and then check it off as I go along... Dry all the laundry Put all the clothes away Change the sheets on all the beds Tidy mine and Meghan s rooms Clean the bathroom Hoover the hall, stairs and landing Hoover the living room and damp dust everywhere Clean the kitchen (including the table)... Its not a lot really especially since Alex s mum is having Meghan for a couple of hours later on this afternoon... … View Post »
You actually like your body and you look in the mirror and like what you see?... I had one of those mornings today... I like days like today because they rarely happen and on days like today, I actually dress up because I feel awesome about myself... Its nice to have days like today because you don t really care what you eat... Because you feel so great, you don t punish yourself every time you dare eat something slightly naughty and so I seriously think on days like today, you should give yourself the day off and just eat what you want... I really need to do something about my weight but today I just don t care... All the counting calories and thinking about diet pills is put on hold for a while... … View Post »
One thing I liked when I used to work in shops was the different types of retail pos systems I used... The first store I worked in had a really old till with not even a proper screen on it but when I worked at Tesco and then in Borders, we had really modern touch screen tills... It was a petrol station where I worked and the tills had the capabilities to arm the pumps when someone took the petrol pump out of the holder... When I worked there I hated that job but now I think back to it, it was never that bad... … View Post »

Although I m not doing too good being a single person (as in not in a relationship), I m doing okay on my own in general... I used to hate being in the house on my own and would dread Alex going out for the night as I d spend most of my time being scared and didn t want to answer the door or even the phone... I guess its all part of growing up and also, becoming a parent... Being on the other side of relationship is rather scary but I like the responsibility... … View Post »
She has been playing on it constantly for about a week until the other day I hid it... I ll start by saying that the reason I hid it is the same reason I use the word playing lightly... She s learnt how to turn it off and on and then select the game again so thats her favourite thing to do... … View Post »

Around the middle of September, you start hearing the first few, odd fireworks going off and you frown... You frown because its September - two months away from Bonfire Night and because where the hell can you buy fireworks in September?!... On Halloween, we took the kids out trick or treating and throughout the night, there were fireworks going off... On the way home, we all had to take turns holding hands with her while she was in her pram... She wasn t too bad when we got home but was falling asleep on the couch so I took her up to bed... Those nine days took me at least two hours if not more to get her to calm down and go to sleep... As the week went on, I lost my patience easier and easier to the point where I probably left her longer than I should have done which although wasn t very nice, worked best for both of us... I hate the Millennium for making fireworks at New Year the standard thing now... … View Post »
