a decent walking speed...


After dropping Toby at preschool and Sam at school I decided to enjoy a decent long walk and for once faster than toddler pace. I love my boys dearly but its nice to get some me time in the daylight hours and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Things...




Well we got absolutely nowhere with the toilet training. Toby just refuses to go near a potty or toilet and insists on having a nappy...boys! Will try again in the summer hols.

We all decided to go on one of our big adventures to Dorset and ended up at Weymouth. Had a lovely but windy time at the lighthouse at Portland Bill, tea & cakes at the Heights hotel admiring the view, headed off to play in the sand on the beach, a few rides on the fun fair followed by ice cream. On the way home we sat in the car at Poole Quay in the pouring rain stuffing fish and chips - really lovely. A great day out!

My latest Open University course (Understanding Human Nutrition) is fascinating - I just wish they did a course at a higher level in this subject.

Here we go....


As it's Feb half term we are attempting toilet training again......oh the joy!

I had my pamper day on Saturday which was bliss. Billy had the boys and ended up in casualty with Sam as he cracked his head on the stair door. Both boys now have a nasty hospital bug so the washing machine is on full speed and the place is in chaos.

Bring on the summer :0)

Just thought I'd add this photo of Toby - what a cutie.

...missing Dorset...


We decided to drive over to Dorset today as the weather was so lovely. Ended up at Kimmeridge Bay which was amazing as usual. The waves were huge so all the surfers were out. The boys had a great rummage in the rocks & pools and came home with treasure. I really miss living in Dorset :-( Hope to end up there again one day....
