In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

353/365 training journey

December 20, 2013 By Ellen

  That’s the big Boys with their cousins in Edinburgh. They made their way there on the train, on their own. A big adventure and they got home safely. Well done Boys and thanks to Supersister.   Posted with Blogsy

352/365 Secret Santa – how do you keep it going?

December 19, 2013 By Ellen

It was Boy Three’s big Christmas celebration at nursery today. Mercifully brief, it consisted of a couple of songs and a visit from the big man. Instructed to sing loudly, he Jingle Bell-ed like fury with a very worried look on his face, never taking his eye off the door until Santa arrived. I think he still […]

Don’t let your kids’ Christmas presents put them in danger

December 19, 2013 By Ellen

A web, but not the web.  What are your children getting for Christmas? Are they going to be lucky enough to be unwrapping new smart phones, tablets or even gaming equipment like a new Wii?  I expect that up and down the country there will be thousands of delighted youngsters whose first move on December […]

351/365 It’s Christmas – the clues are all there…

December 18, 2013 By Ellen

This. The first piece of evidence.  I have been looking like this all day. And in public.  Not only did I take Boy Three to nursery but then I went to meet Deb to have a look at the Vettriano Retrospective and have some lunch. We thought we’d see what the fuss was all about […]

The magical gift of experience

December 18, 2013 By Ellen

What do you get for a child who is showered with gifts? They’ve got aunties, uncles, grandparents and neighbours who dote on them and bring toys and treats come every birthday and Christmas. If you’re left wondering what else to get for them that they’ll genuinely love, why not consider an experience gift? Not the […]

349/365 what I want for Christmas

December 17, 2013 By Ellen

  Is peace, goodwill and an end to inequality. Is the beautiful and lovely two-month-old Tassimo coffee machine to give me coffee, not a rattle noise and some steam. I know that’s a shallow and spoilt first-world wish, but, the disobedience of the coffee machine is the last in a long line of insubordination from […]

348/365 Ikea – circling the square

December 15, 2013 By Ellen

Boy Three and I were bound for Ikea and I was explaining what the big blue shop was all about. “Is it bigger than the sky?” He asked. Later, following the arrows he said: “Oh man. We are just going round in squares. It’s taking years.”     Posted with Blogsy
