I really do love a Sunday. Usually laid back, an easy excuse for some bacon and eggs for breakfast and plenty of time to play with my kids.For the second day running it was nearly 8am before the darlings surfaced, and I tell you I clung onto every second! I know it won’t last. WeContinue reading “DAY 194 – 27 September 2020”

My Saturday chore list was bulging this morning and wasn’t helped by the long lie our little darlings granted us. You need to seize the opportunities presented so it wasn’t exactly a bright and early start. After sorting out the kitchen and the ironing and the washing up etc things seemed to slow down aContinue reading “DAY 193 – 26 September 2020”

Well the finish line has been crossed and we can chalk up another week. The kids are very excited about the forthcoming weekend. I have no idea why as we have no plans, except apparently for Daddy/daughter playtime with the Sylvanian families. I can’t wait!For a bit of a change I thought today’s top 5Continue reading “DAY 192 – 25 September 2020”

After the excitement (if that’s the right word) of the last couple of days, today was a tad dull. And I don’t just mean the horrible weather.It has felt like a really long week already, and we still have another day to go before we can crawl over the finish line. Chin up – we’veContinue reading “DAY 191 – 24 September 2020”

Sheer relief! After 24 hours of self isolation we had the wonderful news that Steph’s coronavirus test was negative. Suffice to say it took me no time at all to pack the kids into the car and deliver them to school and nursery! I’m not sure who was most delighted about their return. I suspectContinue reading “DAY 190 – 23 September 2020”

Well today didn’t exactly turn out as planned, as I had a tad more childcare to contend with than normal. Steph has been locked away upstairs so it was down to me to kept the terrors entertained. It turns out I now need to start working from home if I can, so thank goodness IContinue reading “DAY 189 – 22 September 2020”

Today was our second day without “informal childcare support” following our return to lockdown, but clearly someone is listening to our anguished cries and now the rules have changed yet again. It wasn’t such a big deal today anyway as both were in their respective childcare settings and apparently had great days.It was also aContinue reading “DAY 188 – 21 September 2020”

A day of deformed carrots and impaled Yorkshire puddings. What more could a man ask for? The tiredness from last night resulted in a brilliant long lie in every room this morning. I took that as a sign it was going to be a fantastic day, and so it proved to be.Sundays always seem toContinue reading “DAY 187 – 20 September 2020”

A somewhat less productive day than hoped but fundamentally a lazy Saturday certainly isn’t the end of the world! It didn’t start particularly well when both children came and joined us in bed during the night. I tried to turf E out when she just stood in the darkness by the bed demanding a cuddleContinue reading “DAY 186 – 19 September 2020”

Woop Woop!! It’s the weekend! We might not be able to go anywhere or do anything but a weekend is still a weekend. A last minute change to childcare plans was needed as a result of yesterday’s announcement and M went to enjoy a bonus day at nursery. It so happened to be all about theContinue reading “DAY 185 – 18 September 2020”
