Today we stepped off the property ladder with the sale of our house in London completing for the asking price and with the money that we’ve gained over the last 10 years of house price inflation being placed in a high interest savings account. Our feeling is that the worst that’ll happen is that we’ll lose [...]

My boy Morris just got a new lunch box (bag actually) for when he goes to ‘big’ school in Sept. Let’s just cut to the chase and list the features that aforementioned lunch box has: It’s Dr Who themed (this is definitely A Good Thing if you’re a four year old with TV fixation) It’s got a [...]

Our second pregancy of the year was scanned today and I’m delighted to say that there was: Movement this time Only one set of limbs The kids - who were with us at the scan and prepped for a ‘dead baby again’ (their words) - think it’s pretty cool with Eden hoping it’s a girl and Morris wanting [...]

I had a lovely time away with my family this weekend over the Easter break. We stayed at a privately owned (and rented by us direct) static caravan on a Haven Holidays park in North Wales near Criccieth. We easily avoided all of the supplied “entertainment” and restaurants on-site and just used the place as [...]

Ackers made an excellent summation of what it’s like being around our little ones at the moment. I normally take the morning shift and it’s just like this, it’s *great*. I’m finding the twins so very hard at the moment. Nothing major but just constant ‘I want Ready Brek with honey in it!’ ‘Not HOT Ready Break [...]

I took the kids to the playground up at the top of our road on Saturday. Morris doesn’t like the swings ‘It’s a bit scary actually’, so he kicked a football around (good boy) and messed about on the slide. Eden however ran right to the swings. I plonked her in the kiddie ones (the ones [...]

Me and Becky took Morris kite flying onto Wanstead Flats yesteday. It was with a £2.99 Thomas The Tank Engine kite and from Morris’ point of view it was the best thing he’d ever experienced. Obviously me being me I was immediately thinking of getting a better one so we could do some stunts, but I [...]
