I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.

Day three wasn't yesterday as I was working at school (with it being Wednesday and all...) And I wasn't able to get stuck in after school because of it being school disco day. They always do a di...

day 2. in crawling into 2014.

I don't allow the childminded kids use of felt pens as the lids never get put back on and the pens runs out. It cost me a lot in replacement pens. So when a childminded child told me, this mornin...

unjunked. in crawling into 2014.

The Big Declutter has begun. It is ALL going! So far I have done one small corner of my living room... One and a half hours. Flip side y'all! X x


It's Friday morning, I'm in the bath and no reality check! I know! Colour me pink! (actually, the heat of the bath may really do that!) I've talked here, several times, about the diarist who ori...

I can't remember if I have mentioned here that the children's centres in our town have been culled. Well, not all of them but the ones that were not considered to be necessary! The one that hos...


WHERE: lying flat on my back in bed. When my back gets cold I cough so I have to keep it hermetically sealed with my mattress, duvet or pillow... WEARING: ...since I don't wear anything in bed. ...

fears. in advent 2013

Talaia's new found fear is because I'm ill. She came and cuddled and talked about death before asking when I would be better. I told her that no one had ever died from tonsillitis, that I was on ...

family film. in crawling into 2014.

We came back down south today and I waved in the direction of all my friends as we came but I didn't arrange to meet up with any of you as I have tonsilitis. At least I have a diagnosis now! It ...

i'd wage war in advent 2013

If I had the energy. But I don't. Each morning I wake up feeling worse and I dose myself up with a cocktail of ibuprofen, paracetamol and vitamins just so I can make out through the day. My older...
