A week on…

Tuesday 26th August 2008

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!…and the munchkin’s forehead is still tinged with green and yellow! She was a little subdued for a day or so, but is back to normal now (apart from coming up to me a couple of times a day asking [...]

One benefit…

Thursday 14th August 2008

…of the gluten free diet is that I’ve lost a couple of pounds in the last 10 days! I don’t know quite how much is the change in diet as I hadn’t weighed myself since early July but I’ve lost 3lbs since then! I’m definitely not complaining about that.
I’m snacking so much less. I think [...]

Gluten free

Wednesday 6th August 2008

We’re currently experimenting with a gluten free diet in the H household (well, Mr H and I are).
Back at Christmas Mr H’s GP sister D suggested that he may have a gluten intolerance due to a range of symptoms that have been ongoing. We’ve finally got around to trying to cut gluten out of his [...]

Mixed up Monday

Monday 25th February 2008

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 [...]

Friday photos

Friday 22nd February 2008

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 [...]

Nigella move over!

Thursday 21st February 2008

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 [...]

Imaginative title here….

Tuesday 8th January 2008

Firstly…grrr…… internet explorer just crashed as I was finishing writing my post…I hadn’t thought to save a draft either….grrr! Oh and apologies for the lack of imagination in the title of this post…apparently my brain isn’t coming up with anything today!
Right then…where was I…
The munchkin actually slept for 1 1/2 hours yesterday afternoon. I put [...]

Looking up!

Friday 26th October 2007

I was a little worried about my friend coming to stay this week (she basically invited herself) and after a couple of weeks of us being poorly and trying to get back into a routine I thought that it’s be hard work, but it was great. I last saw her at our mini college reunion in [...]

Just a quickie…

Tuesday 23rd October 2007

… I haven’t got long, my friend is due to arrive any time in the next 2 hours, had a busy morning getting everything sorted (though I still need to get Mr H to dig out the air bed) and have managed to bake some scones this afternoon (the munchkin’s new favourite food!).
I don’t think [...]

We’re back!

Tuesday 29th May 2007

Hello!
We had a lovely time away in Scotland. The weather held out most of the time and we all managed to get a little rest. Mr H spent a lot of time with his brother in law, G, climbing, cycling and chatting in the pub. G has since described Mr H as the brother he’s [...]
