Yep, one year older...again! I was spoilt this year with gifts! From DH and the babes, I received a new digital camera, and some money to spend (I bought some clothes and a new pair of sneakers) and from my dad and step-mum I received lots of new kitchen stuff! I was still half asleep when DH came in to kiss me good bye and wish me a happy birthday before he ... Read More

Today was the final straw! We got up this morning and I headed to the kitchen to make breakfast only to find that I had forgotten to take a tub of butter out of the freezer. So there was no butter to make the sandwiches for school! So I have decided that I am going to become the perfect housewife! Now, don't get me wrong! I'm not aiming to be one ... Read More

I was just chatting with a girlfriend this morning and she told me that they finally got their car back after having to get it fixed.

The doctor told him to get up to ... Read More

So I'm sitting here and it's 6.25am Monday morning. DH has just left for work and I can hear DD15 is awake. She wakes up earlier than the others so she can jump in the shower before all of them. I'm always the last to have a shower (and I'm lucky if there is any hot water left!) The rest of the babes should be getting up in the next ... Read More

Disclaimer before we start: I'm tired and I feel the need to ramble so if this post seems to be all over the place, I apologise. My eldest daughter has just turned 15. It seems that all her friends have the same attitude that she has - that they can do whatever they want and curfews mean nothing to them and being disrespectful to their parents and siblings is an ok ... Read More
