If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Good morning! Just a quick update from the H household as I’ve got a lot to do today.
Firstly thanks for the lovely comments left on my last post. It was something I just had to get out somewhere and [...]

I’ve just spoken to Mum.
Dad was due to have a driving assessment this morning relating to his dementia. However while at the test centre (before getting into the car) he had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). He lost his speech and some movement and got very confused. It came back after about 10-15 minutes. Dad saw [...]

…never seem to last long in the H house!
After all I wrote yesterday about getting myself back in the diet routine and trying to be good I completely blew it in the afternoon.
I took the munchkin out to storytime where she (and her little friend) caused chaos. They wouldn’t sit or stand still and listen [...]

A mixed up post with a few little bits! 
Mr H and I had a slightly overdue discussion about trying for another baby yesterday. Much as I don’t want it to be, the only sensible option is to wait until we know what’s happening with Mr H’s job come November, whether he’s staying in the new group or [...]

A few photos from the past couple of weeks. I know the right edge of some of the photos has been cropped off, am trying to tweak the blog template (it should {!} take less time that changing all the photos!)
 Yesterday’s brownie.
 
And the chocolate and banana cake. (I know, I have a fair bit of [...]

I’ve come over all domestic goddess today.
There’s chocolate and banana cake in the oven and a new recipe for chocolate brownie sitting on the kitchen surface ready to be tried as soon as the oven is free. Zooarchaeologist - I think your chocolate answer is fab! 3/4 of the banana cake and 1/2 the brownie is [...]

4. Person you [...]

is my period heavier and more painful the more broody I am?
am I so much more broody at the moment?
can I simply not stick to the diet for more than a week at a time this year?
is Mr H so tired all the time?
can I not get an appointment with the doctor he saw last [...]

Or rather college days (though with most of us being trainee teachers we spent a lot of time in school) were what I spent the weekend reminiscing about.
It was lovely to spend time with my college friends again, though we only had 4 hours with us all together due to people having varying half terms [...]

Valentine’s has been postponed in the H household. We’ve exchanged presents (thank you for the flowers and mini bottle of Moet!), but Mr H has spent the day poorly in bed so my fabulous steak dinner (that’s what he’d planned to cook for me) has been postponed until Sunday. Mr H really isn’t up to [...]
