What a week… Not normally wanting to dwell on negative things, I just have to quickly explain why we’ve been so silent… and then of course, get on to the topic of lunch boxes again… First the snow came. Well, yes, I know. We’ve all had our bit of snow. Everyone can cope with a…
The One Where the Fondue Catches Fire
With all the snow, it got me thinking, trotting off down memory lane to the last time we had a fondue… Do you remember those? You can have a meat one, cheese one or chocolate, it’s great when there’s loads of snow, chilly outside, and you all huddle around the table and tuck in, each…
Where Do You Wish You Were?
School holidays are fast approaching, yep term is just whizzing past! There’s lots of talk in the playground, at the school gate, about who’s going where, doing what and so on… For us, it’s all up in the air… no holiday days left to take, so maybe we’ll just potter, catch up with friends and most…
The One Where I Helped On A School Trip…
From questioning if I’m a bad mother a couple of weeks ago, I then volunteered to help out on a school trip for Spike, who’s just started secondary school. There were about 8 helpers, each with 6 kids each, to guide on and off the coach with their kit, tickets, then collect them with all their kit after, herd…
D’You Have the Love Bug or Bug Love?
It’s Sunday, the end of a week that seems to have been bursting full of situations perfect for snapping with the camera… First off, let’s meet the characters… One shiny yellow beetle car…You might think nothing special about that then. Yes, I like its curves, and it’s the newer model, but what are you getting at?…
So How High Is OK?
We keep being told our brood is sporty. We’ve the sporty, go-getting kids, always out and about with the wind in their hair, whilst some of our friends have the stay-at-home types. Nothing wrong in that. Ours at the weekends are usually found out on their bikes, up a tree, down a ditch, on their…
Who’s Moved My Shoes?
You know those days when things just aren’t going well. You’re running late. Kids won’t do as they’re told. You’re showered, dressed. Got your coat on, but where oh where are the shoes… You know you took them off some place, but where… ? You trudge around, lifting odd shoes in the vain search for…
Oooh… Do You Think They’ll Notice?
It’s Day #19 on the #NaBloPoMo and being Saturday, we thought let’s have a bit of fun! There’s been a couple of times over the last few days whilst out walking, where I’ve thought this caption would fit perfectly. The first one unfortunately was not captured on film… The one time I go for a walk…
How Rude…!
Have you ever had the scenario where you’re already moving on, yet someone is waiting for a response? You just didn’t know it. You have delayed hearing, delayed reaction or just don’t compute?You think maybe they’re not directing the comment at you?You’ve already moved on, leaving their speech bubble unanswered, hanging in the air…? Well…
“Billy Basic Lunchbox” for Naughty Boys!
I had thought this week was going to be a breeze, with just two out of the three of the brood at home. How wrong could I be! Tuna is away on a school trip, so I am left with the two lion cubs to contend with, one for each hand, or should I call…
