We were invited this weekend to watch Johnny English:Reborn before it becomes available on DVD on the 13th of February. If I am honest I went with pretty low expectations I am not a huge fan of slapstick, I hadn't seen the first and I am not a Mr Bean fan, however I thought it would tickle Twin Boy and Twin Girl's fancy so we bundled onto the train, see yesterday's horror story, and went up to … [Read more...]

Slobber + Crayons = art?
By · 90 Comments
Wall art.... Normally in my house we make our own. Twin Boy once took it upon himself to decorate the wall on the stairs with red and blue crayons. As his parents we can clearly see the artistic genius in the carefully thought out scribbles, but for some reason visitors to the house see it as merely looking like a child drew badly on the wall. … [Read more...]

i dont write politics…
By · 34 Comments

I write stories of my day, memories to preserve and I try and entertain the reader with stories of my parenting skills gone astray. Today I don't know what to write. The society I am in today is not one I want my children to know … [Read more...]

i am a wreck…
By · 43 Comments
I was queueing up in the beauty line in the womb when patience was being handed out two rows down; consequently I have an incredibly short fuse which is set off easily, and mainly by twin boy. So I try to avoid situations where I will end up screaming like a mad banshee in public. I plan potentially stressful situations well in advance so I can get through the day with my children intact. … [Read more...]

Disney Store: Pixie Dust on Oxford Street?
By · 19 Comments
Imagine being told at five years old that you have a magical store pretty much all to yourself to explore and touch and fiddle and play to your heart's content. Imagine if this store was the brand new Disney Store on Oxford Street. When I told twin boy and girl that Tinker bell had dumped a bucket of fairy dust on us and we were off to review the new Disney store with only a handful of other … [Read more...]

The last time I will mention it.
By · 14 Comments
I did it I really did, and here are the photos to prove it! (I promise this is the last time I will mention my marathon legs.....) Running with your arms in the air - never a wise move! Please note to the right of me is my lovely friend Becs who was running for Macmillan and her mother and was feeling emotional as she had passed a Macmillan cheering squad. The marathon is never just about … [Read more...]
