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.

Me and he who helped create them had a bit of a nice day planned today. We have had a rough couple of weeks and to make up for it we thought we would take baby beautiful out for the day and enjoy the bliss of only having one (rather quiet) child between us.

Supernanny never had to deal with this

The things Supernanny doesn’t have to deal with The moment my eyes were forced into action this morning I knew it was going to be 'one of those days'. As the world outside our brown front door slumbered on with sweet Saturday snores our weekend began with bleach and bathroom battles.
