If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Another quick post here today. I’ve mainly spent the morning cuddling a snotty little munchkin (I think she’s just teething - again - or at least I hope so!), this afternoon, while the munchkin naps…., I need to pack [...]

Just a quick bullet pointed post from me here, had a busy start to the week, though I don’t feel like I’ve achieved much.

What was supposedly a quiet weekend got busier…
While doing the supermarket shop on Saturday we found a very good offer on a new TV
But it was out of stock
We spent much of [...]

I found this on Roz’s blog while I was browsing the other ornament exchange participant’s blogs (it’s 4:30pm here and I only got the munchkin to sleep an hour ago, she’s teething - again! - and was so tired but fighting it like anything).

Not quite sure what it means by purist though…
Young upstart I guess [...]

Earlier in the month Julie started organising a Christmas ornament exchange. I was very slow about doing it, but I signed up on Wednesday (the deadline day!) and this morning I picked up an email from her telling me who to send my ornament to.
I’ve never done one of these before, I’ve seen other exchanges [...]

Well, Mr H’s interview yesterday didn’t go too well. They were looking for a more academic engineer than Mr H (he’s very practical and hands on). We weren’t expecting too much from this interview anyway as it was for a principal role, and Mr H is still very young and rather inexperienced for something like it. [...]

I’ve just typed up, and then deleted, a long post about things I’ve learnt about myself lately. I wasn’t pleasnt reading for me. I seem to be getting obsessive about silly things and unnecessarily grouchy when people do certain things.
I’ve never been good when plans change, I always need to know what’s happening when, but [...]

That’s what the munchkin is giving us lots of at the moment.
Whether it’s her comments or new phrases or or just something she does, she’s been making us smile a lot, and it’s just what we need right now.
She’s saying ‘me too’ and ‘oh no’ a lot (not at times when they’re appropriate, but it’s [...]

Actually…make that a lot unfit!
I’ve just got back from the fitness class for parents and toddlers at the local leisure centre and I’m soooo unfit. I went a fortnight ago (though we missed it when the munchkin was off colour last week) and I thought I coped ok, but this week as well as the [...]

Well, some change! 
R let us know yesterday that she’s signed a contract on a flat with a friend and will be moving out in early December. While it has been nice in some ways to have her here it will be a bit of relief to us to have our house back.
It’s been nice to have [...]

We did go up to see L, T and my baby nephew, J, yesterday.  And he’s absolutely gorgeous (though still so tiny, he’s only just got back to his birth weight of 5lb12). The munchkin loved cuddles and kissing him (gives me hope for when we eventualy have #2).

It wasn’t anywhere near as hard as [...]
