How much stuff?

2007-02-11T06:28:00.000Z

I am still clearing out here, and I am rather shocked as to how much junk we have collected over the last few years. I am slowly wading through our bits and throwing out old junk. As most of the stuff is in very good condition, we are giving it to others who need it which takes at lot more time than first thought.Another tens years or so and I may have got there.

Call the blog police.

This poor blog keeps getting neglected, I'm shocked that the blog police haven't come along a locked me up yet! At the moment I am getting ready to move at the end of the month, so everything has taken a back seat while we fight to sort the jungle that is our home into some resemblance of order and start packing. There may be a couple of weeks where I don't get as far as my computer, so please be patient and don't charge me with blog neglect. lol.

To busy to breath!

2007-02-02T07:22:00.000Z

The last few days have been so busy that just sitting down long enough to drink a cuppa is impossible! I have been having a major clean out of all the old stuff that has built up over the last few (hundred) years and finding people who need/want it. The result is that there are peeps popping over the whole time to pick things up. Combined with the daily household chores, shopping and running the minis to and from nursery means that I haven't had time to stop.
The main problem is that I keep wanting to post new bits, but run out of time and then forget what it is that I wanted to post. (D'oh)

silly o'clock.

2007-01-31T08:32:00.000Z

Well, it was silly o'clock (aka 2 in the morning) that I was awoken by the major body aches and pains. Now The three minis are awake and there is no chance of sleep till tonight. I am going to stop typing because it is taking a nightmareishly long time to keep correcting all my typos...

Please help.

This site forjono.com is a site that needs as much publicity as possible. if people out the could link to in on their blogs it would help him to find us again. (Read the page to find out more.)

those darn letters.

2007-01-27T16:46:00.000Z

O.K. blogger has that word verification thing you can add to stop spam which is helpful, right?
The main problem is that when ever I try to post a comment I always have to try at least twice as even though I triple check that I have typed the letters correctly, they still say I did it wrong. Am I the only one who has this problem?

hello out there.

Thanks to John C I have been reminded that I haven't posted for a while. So I'm back again, The week has been pretty uneventful just getting the minis to nursery, and trying to catch up one some house work. I was actually trying to post yesterday, but got struck down with a migraine, so I spent yet another day ignoring the world. With any luck I should be posting a bit more often now, so you will be stuck with a few more boring posts form now on...

3 ill children and a weeks less sleep later...

2007-01-21T16:23:00.000Z

Well, the last week has been full of fun. Sunday night C1 was ill, everywhere not long after going to bed, which meant mummy and daddy running through to get her cleaned up and fresh bedding sorted. Not easy when you are also trying to not wake C2 and C3 at the same time. The rest of the night was spent feeding C3 and running through to C1 every couple of minuets. There was no way she was going to nursery the next day, or the next, when both her and C2 threw up. The next day, no nursery, very tired mum and dad, and two children begging to go to nursery. come Friday, still neither have gone to nursery, neither parent has had sleep, and C2 starts to be sick again. So round comes to day and every-one is a little tense and tired, but both the children are looking better, so we take them out. This was the best thing since sliced bread. They are going to nursery tomorrow...

I went out!

2007-01-07T09:07:00.000Z

O.k. It may not sound to exiting, but to me it was.
Let me explain, The last time I went out was on my honey moon, witch was over a year ago. There is a club near us that had a special on where drinks only cost £1, and it was the day after my birthday. My man, knowing this, decided to take there, come hell or high water. And since both tried to happen, I am still very surprised that I got out of the front door.
We met with a few friend and got very drunk. at about 2 in the morning we headed for a kebab and got a cab back home. All went very well, except that I automatically woke up a few seconds before our youngest, so I decided to help our baby sitter look after c3.
It was well worth it and have decided that I am not going to leave it that long again before I get to go out with out the minis again. (With any luck)

New Year.

2007-01-02T11:09:00.000Z

So, what did you do to mark the beginning of the new year? I, myself had one the best nights sleep since the birth of our third child. For the first time, C3 didn't wake up every hour to be fed, thanks to the miracle of baby rice and weaning.
Ah, the joy of good sleep. Pity it was broken by others letting of fireworks on the stroke of twelve. But thats part of being happy and celebrating the new year. best wished for you all in this new year.

Merry and Happy?

2006-12-31T13:27:00.000Z

Did everyone have a good Christmas? I know my minis did. After three days worth of opening presents and eating roasts they have had lots of fun. And since My husband did all the cooking, All I had to do was sit back and feed the baby. Such hard ship. We almost had a problem with the goose we had on Christmas day. the first herdle was fitting a goose desinged to feed ten in a baking tray, then into the rather small oven. then, when we went to bast it (When I say we, I mean my man) the goose fat had almost ran over the edges of the tray. It was rather amusing to see my husband and me trying to bale out the fat with desert spoons in to a jug, because if we tried to remove the tray, fat would have been all over the floor. So needless to say goose has become the new fun swear word that puts a smile on our faces.:D

Any way I wish you all a happy new year!

single Vs couple.

2006-12-13T13:27:00.000Z

The Daily Mail Has an article in their paper dated January 5th 2006 that claims 'single parents have it easy!'

I read this article and have found it is completely one persons point of view supported by a 'survey'. It does not say how many people it talked to, what sex they talked to, how many children the single parent had, where the single parents lived, or how much income they had!.
The journalist clams to have been a single parent and one of two parents. The thing is, a single parent with lots of money will have it easy. They can afford childcare.
If there are two parents and they don't talk to each other about what the child should eat or how much T.V. the child should watch, or if one parent expects the other to do things, but not tell them, it will be hard.

Having two parents should make it easier. If one is ill, the other takes over for that time of illness. The couple should talk when the children aren't around and decide what should be eaten how much T.V. is ok, and always make sure they check with the other parent if the child has asked them the same question but didn't like the answer.

In the article she clams that the child/children 'are beasts that try to play one parent against the other.' Two points, One, no child is ever beast, and two, if the parents have talked about what the child/children can and can't do, they can not be played of against each other.

If their are two parents and they are tired, they can time-share and get some sleep, if a child is ill, their is enough people to look after the child and get them to the doctors and if there is other children, the other parent can look after them, do the shopping, and do the house work. If a parent wants tea at a certain time, they can cook it!

A good neighbor is there for couples and single parents alike.
