Ron in daylight

Ron survived the night pretty well with no loss of limbs or eyes. As soon as Meggie was up and dressed she went out to give Ron a big hug and kiss – she really likes him

I think Ron looks more like a snow teddy rather than a snow man though.
Weather: Snow flurries, [...]

Ron the Snowman

It has been snowing since January 3rd on and off and pretty heavy at times so by this evening we had loads of snow in the garden. At about 8pm I decided to build Megan a proper snowman and managed to cajole Eliie into helping. So there was Ellie and I, outside in freezing weather [...]

Emily’s 1st Birthday

Can’t believe it’s been a year already since Emily was born. Tomorrow is Emily’s actual birthday but today was her birthday party so we trotted round Gills for the do. Gill cooked up some pizza’s for the girls and for us BBQ ribs – YUM! As you can see from the photo, choclate cake was for [...]

Boxing Day

Today we had my family around for dinner. Ally spent most of the morning cooking a lovely roast lamb with a forest fruits pavlova for desert. I hoovered and did what I could to help (useless in the kitchen).

For once my Mum and Chris were on time – one minute early even! It was Colin [...]

Christmas Day

Well it’s finally here, Happy Christmas!
Ally half awoke around 6am thinking Megan will wake up soon but then went back to sleep. It was nearly 7.30 before we woke up again and Megan still wasn’t awake! So we woke her up and she jumped into our bed with her stocking from Santa. Funnily enough Santa [...]

Family get together

Meggie was at her friends  ‘Build a bear’ birthday party today. She loves the Build a bear parties as she gets to choose, stuff and dress a good sized soft toy.  We had one for her sixth birthday and to be honest it really is excellent value for money.
All round Jen’s today for a family Christmas [...]

Trip to the flicks

Went to see a good ol’ British Christmas film at the cinema today called Nativity. This is a comedy starring Martin Freeman (of office fame), Ashley Jenson (from Extras) and Alan Carr.  Issy and Ellie had gone to their Nan and Grandads wedding (they were re-taking their vows – very sweet) so it was Just Ally, [...]

Tree – Done

Well it was just too bold and by the morning that damm rug had shed so much it was making the main carpet turn red – it had to go. Packed it up, shoved it in the back of the car and took it back. Got a new rug in Nasons, this time a shag [...]

Meggies Nativity

Yes the school that Meggie goes to is putting on a proper Nativity play, none of this ‘oh we might upset this person or that person’ rubbish, nope a proper real Nativity play about the birth of Jesus.
The idea was that we drop Meggie off at school as usual and wait until the play started [...]

Car Crash

When I started this blog I decided to write about everything that happens in my life – this I don’t want to write about but it happened so I must.
At around 18:30 Ally left to go and pick up Issy from Canterbury. Fifteen minutes later I get a call from her on someone else’s mobile [...]
