The sun at last...

You don't mind the school run - even in winter - when the sun shines.

return to fluff

Well we got nowhere with Toby toilet training so we are back on the gorgeous washable nappies. There really is nothing cuter that a fluffy cloth bum - so much nicer (and safer) that those hideous gel filled, land fill choking, plastic ones....

Swine flu.to vaccinate or not to vaccinate?

We are currently being sent letters from our surgery to get the boys vaccinated against swine flu. The trouble is I am not convinced it is a good idea. I can't find anything on the web that is positive that isn't government funded and there is a vast amount against.

A recent robust statistical study estimated that in the non-pandemic years of 1979-2001, seasonal flu killed an average of 41,400 people every year. Swine flu has been active in the US since April, and the death toll, as of 10 July, is 211."

The sceptic in me wonders why we are suddenly vaccinating against a flu that has killed so many less than the ordinary strain.

mmmmmm scrummy...

Time to bake...one chocolate cake for the school Christmas fayre tomorrow.....just got to keep the boys away from it....

Sam is going to be a star in the nativity play - awwww bless!

He had his best friend Harvey over for tea yesterday and was soooo excited. He even woke in the night in tears worried about where his friend was. They had a great time.

It's Halloween!!!!

Daddy has been at the pumpkins again. The boys are seriously impressed......so am I - there's no way I could carve these.....well done Billy xxx

lovely day!

As Daddy was away today on his Harley, the boys and I decided it was time for a big adventure so headed to Dorset. We ended up at Swanage and had breakfast on the beach - we had the beach to ourselves and it was gorgeous. We spent the whole day there - on the swings, seeing the steam trains etc. Lovely time :0)

hoping....

Sam & Toby making sure the chimney will be big enough for Father Christmas and two bicycles....

summer is ending..

The boys & I have had a great time out & about all summer and Sam has started big school which he loves. We spent a week with Granny & Grandad on Anglesey and luckily had some good weather. The boys seemed to have doubled in size and cheekiness....

The Darling Buds of May.

We had a great day yesterday at the Darling Buds of May Classic Car show. I am a big fan of th Darling Buds so it was lovely to see where it was all filmed - what a gorgeous place to bring up children.

next stage

I've just packed up all of my lovely washable nappies as we don't need them anymore :-(

My local Homestart will put them to good use....I'll miss my fluffles.....end of an era....

I've nearly got all Sam's uniform sorted for when he starts big school - I can't believe we're there already. He's had all his taster sessions now and has loved them all...my baby boy is growing up sooo fast.
