I’m going to miss this when my children get older…

The one thing that I think I’ll miss most as my children grow up is the mis-pronunciations and slight alterations of words that you get from little children who are trying their hardest to be grown-ups and talk like Mummy and Daddy. We’ve already lost so many; my elder son is very well read for [...]

Wii fit and fabulous!

We have invested in a Wii Fit. We bought the Wii console eighteen months ago after I was worn down by my husband! I had always said that I didn’t want my children to grow up with their faces stuck to a television screen, so I wouldn’t let him buy a Playstation, but because by the [...]

What flavour ice cream am I? Well, that’s a shocker…!

You Are A Chocolate Ice Cream Girl Dramatic. Powerful. Flirty. What Flavor Ice Cream Girl Are You?

Cancer Research UK Relay For Life Cardiff!!!

We have news! Finally, we are able to tell you that the Cancer Research UK Relay For Life will be held on 30/31 August in Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium! (Did you get that from the photos? That was the hint!) We’ve been keeping our fingers crossed for some time that we would be able to hold [...]

Mystery jogger – you made me smile!

I was travelling by bus out of Cardiff today, and I treated myself to a ride on the top deck (I’ve told you before, I’m only seven years old inside!). It gave me a great vantage point for observing people along the sides of the road, and one person in particular caught my attention. He [...]

How and why do children grow up so quickly?

My youngest son is four years old. When did that happen? And how did I miss it creeping up on me? I don’t feel old enough to have seven and four year old children. I certainly don’t feel like four years have passed since our last little bundle of joy was put in my arms [...]

Progress most certainly hasn’t been made!

I have been looking back over older blogposts, to see what I was writing about when I first started blogging, and I found this one about the BBC Big Read which I wrote in October 2006. In it, I mentioned plans of mine to read the remaining two books from the top 21 which I [...]

Blogthing for a Monday evening

You Are a Green Apple Jelly Bean Of all the flavors, you’re the most complex and the most real. A little sweet, a little sour, and totally tangy. People can’t describe you, but they love you! What Flavor Jelly Bean Are You? Love it!

The Forth Bridge

I have just carried a bag full of unwanted toys out to the boot of my car. My mother in law has a friend of a friend who runs a charity shop, so whenever I have a clear out I take anything which doesn’t deserve to be thrown in a bin to her, and she [...]

Gavin and Stacey

Just finished watching the last episode of Gavin and Stacey – genius! Soooo funny, and speaking as someone who lives in Cardiff, I know loads of people who talk like Nessa! Also, the ‘Barry Pride’ is a real thing! The Jack Johnson tribute act was supreme! And the rebellion at the price of the bridge [...]
