I have a *friend* who has been poorly for the last month with a chest infection. One of the symptoms of her infection has been a bad cough that's kept her awake at night, made her sick and occasionally even caused her to wee herself a little bit (because of the coughing you understand).Anyway, this morning when she was dropping her daughter off at school she was having a rather loud coughing fit in the playground when her daughter said to one of her school friends ' Uh oh, I really hope she doesn't wee herself again'. However, as my *friend* was still coughing, her daughter thought she … [Read more...]
How I know I need to clean my house….
Yes, I know I need to clean my house because Miss Frugal has been able to write me a message in the dust on the base of our TV. (In my defense, I've been unwell with a chest infection for the last month but still....) … [Read more...]
The Gallery – My Inspiration….
My mam died five years ago next month and there hasn't been a day gone by since then that I haven't missed her.I miss her so much and even now, it hurts me when I think about how much of the children's lives she's missing out on. Sometimes I just want to stamp my feet and scream that it's not fair that she died. I don't know if I'll ever stop wanting to pick up the phone to tell her some small thing that's happened during the day or if I'll ever stop talking to her like she's still here with me but I do know that one of the reasons I miss her so much is because she was my inspiration. … [Read more...]
Teaching Children to Recycle….
We all know how important it is to teach our children how to recycle but if yours are anything like mine, they like to learn in a fun way that they can understand - which is why I love the new Coca Cola Recyclometer tool.We've been using it for the last few weeks now and it's been excellent for showing the children (and me) just how big an impact the small action of recycling something can have which in turn has made them much more enthusastic about recycling.We have a recycling bin in the kitchen that we put our recycling in and when that gets full we move the rubbish outside where we … [Read more...]
The Gallery – Ginger….
When I saw this weeks theme for the Gallery was colour, I thought of this picture straight away, even though I may have shared it with you before at some point in the past. My children often tell me that they love having ginger hair, they love that people come up to us in the street and tell them what beautiful hair they have and they love that not many other people in school have the same colour hair as them. At this point I could get on my soap box and tell you that I've come across some ridiculously titled facebook groups lately, the most recent of which being 'Always be yourself (unless … [Read more...]
My MAD Blog Awards Weekend….
....Part DeuxI actually wrote a very long and detailed account of my trip to the MAD blog awards but I foolishly put the laptop on the settee next to me while having a coughing fit and the dog managed to walk over it and delete the entire post! I'm currently snuggled on the settee running out of energy fast so this is going to be the (much) shortened version!BAD BITSI was the one drinking sparking water all night and coughing every time someone so much as looked at me. In my defence, I now know I have a chest infection and am on antibiotics but it was awful not being able to … [Read more...]
