dont expect an invite….

I have got my best suit out, ironed he who helped create them a shirt and we have both had our weekly bath. We have to look at our best as we are off to see the bank manager tomorrow. Truth is we need a loan, and a substantial one at that. Twin girl and boy turn five in less than seven weeks and they need a party and we need a loan in order to lay one on.  When did parties evolve from having a … [Read more...]

The Revenge of the Baby

I have hinted in recent posts that beautiful baby whilst being completely adorable is also something of a mastermind and she spends the vast majority of her days sitting quietly twiddling her thumbs contemplating how to better her brother and sister when the opportunity presents itself. Today was her day. Twin boy and girl and I finally got to feel fully confident about the school run when we … [Read more...]

Handing in my notice

I am handing in my notice.  I have been doing this job for nearly five years but to be honest it is time for me to hand over the ropes to someone else. The day to day job is ok but the hours are rubbish I always do twelve hour shifts at least and the occasional night shift. Getting a day off requires diary planning beyond belief. The day must first be requested when fellow worker is in good … [Read more...]

help my blog has been hijacked

I woke up this morning it must have been wakey up time as the sun was up but my Spiderman clock said six zero zero.  I was wide awake and bored so I wandered into mummy’s room stood really close to her nose and said in … [Read more...]

Who needs an alarm clock when…~ Northernmum

I remember when we decided to have a baby, the batteries on the alarm clock had ran out and rather than buying some new ones, myself and he who helped create them thought it would make good financial sense to have a baby which would guarantee we would never sleep past 7am again (ever). How we smiled when we found out we were having two babies, so if one new baby alarm clock failed we could … [Read more...]

Tea and Tissues

Today was the day, we have been waiting for this day for a long long time.  I was up at 6.30am, washed my hair, cleaned my teeth extra well, painstakingly applied makeup in a way to try and make me look like I have made no effort and always loo naturally fresh faced.  At 6.30am I have a tendency to look a little like the Gruffalo with no hairy wart on the end of my nose (it’s on my chin for … [Read more...]

Press the button, a tale of one woman, three kids and a lift

Sweet lord, it has been a long time since I have ventured anywhere near a shopping centre with the bambinos in tow.  However today proved unavoidable so beautiful baby was tucked into the buggy and twin one and two were issued with several rules and regulations about behaviour, running off and inappropriate bogey licking and off we went. First issue, lifts.......  sounds innocent doesn’t … [Read more...]
