Phase 2 of our family

PINNED

Back in the summer we were contacted by our daughter's former care home to ask if we would consider fostering/adopting another child. This came about from a casual remark I had made about the office/study that I created for me and my daughter, that... See More »

Our 15 year old returned home from a two night sleepover

She kept the 9 year old spellbound with tales of exotic tales of adventure and fun that are just beyond her little sister's reach 😊 Later, after 15 yo had had a minor meltdown (mainly because she had hardly slept in 48 hours or eaten anything but ca... See More »

End of year accounting

We emptied out the family swear box (£1 per profanity) and counted £82.50p. This equates to 1.52 effs and blinds per week, a 0.14 point improvement on last year 👍 Although no one is pointing fingers, early indications show that roughly 96% of... See More »

If anyone is looking for a fun stocking filler . .

Check out these "limited edition collector's shirts signed by Nigel Farage". For just £350 you could be the proud owner of 100% polyester shirt made in the English Midlands and individually signed by Chairman Nige. Strangely, given Reform UK's... See More »

Our girls left their shoes outside their bedrooms for St Nicholas last night

This morning they were filled with sweets and raisins. The eldest also received a small silver necklace and a handwritten letter congratulating her on moving up a set in maths and hoping that her hard work will continue into the important exam year... See More »

My daughters are planning a marathon baking session this weekend

😬 💥 🍪 🔥 🥮 💣 ☢ 🛀🏽 🙈

Our 9 year old is writing her letter to Father Christmas

I'm not convinced that she is 100% a believer, but she picked up on how excited I and her big sister were last night and decided to humour us anyway 😁 🎅🏼

Home freezing

My daughter wanted to make a crumble for lunch today and was annoyed that there was not much interesting fruit available at the supermarket. So I dug around in the freezer and found a box of blackberries that, according to the label, we picked and... See More »

Daughter #1 was busy working on her science project last night

Daughter #2, disappointed to be deprived of her playmate, asked at dinner what homework is. Big sister sighs and describes in bleak and pessimistic terms what little sister can look forward to in a couple of years time when she starts secondary... See More »

Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform UK in Wales, sentenced to 10.5 years for bribery and corruption

He pleaded guilty to eight counts of accepting money from a pro-Russian activist in Ukraine to read scripted speeches in the European parliament disparaging of the Ukrainian government. Hopefully the severity of the sentence will remind other Reform... See More »

At my daughter's after school dance club today

The girls were allowed to wear nail varnish to raise money for Children in Need. As usual, I didn't get the memo in time 🥺 But the girls were colourful, sparkly, and looked absolutely fantastic! 🌈🌈🌈

Our girls were doing cartwheels in the garden after school yesterday

Despite asking them to rinse their hands and feet under the tap before they came back in, an awful lot of mud still got walked into the kitchen 🙄 As they were cleaning up in a bath I noticed a small pair of footprints, toes turned slightly inwards,... See More »

First weekend was a success

A day's visit extended into an overnight stay which worked out rather well. The little girl that we're hoping to foster has taken to our daughter very fondly, which makes life easier all round. Yesterday we played games and did some art. Today I took... See More »

Nigel Farage "goes on strike"

Announces that he will no longer attend Prime Minister's question time and sat in the press gallery to protest against the "most unrepresentative parliament ever". The cause of his complaint? Despite his funny little sidekick Richard Tice bobbing up... See More »

Mr Nobody v Putin

This documentary is a really effective portrayal of authentic patriotism contrasted with the plastic, state-sponsored, flag waving type. A primary school worker uses the natural leadership he exerts among his young charges to record and subvert... See More »

My daughter was up nearly every hour last night with period cramps and hot flushes

She was so tired this morning but determined to go to school. I got a call from the school a little while ago to collect her. Apparently she had started to argue with her teacher, realised that she was on a slippery slope, and voluntarily took... See More »

I've just returned from a meeting with my daughter's head of year

We meet every half term to discuss her progress and whether any adjustments need to be made to her curriculum as she approaches her final exams. I was informed that my daughter is going to be moved up a set in maths to reflect significant... See More »

An Afghan migrant who threatened to kill Nigel Farage in a Tiktok video has been jailed for 5 years

Fawaz Khan mimicked the "pop, pop, pop" sound of gunfire in a post that the UK Reform leader described as "pretty chilling". Now that we have established that making violent threats online is unacceptable, I wonder if Reform will stop referring to... See More »

I was all ready at 8.20am to walk to school with daughter and niece

When my daughter informed me that I couldn't walk with them today as they needed to have a "proper girl talk" 🥺 These two had barely left each other's side in the previous 48 hours and were non-stop yakking for most of the weekend . . I swear my... See More »

I did well at Go Ape

Didn't back down once (partly because the queue of people waiting to get up into the trees made it impossible) . . kept up with my family most of the way . . and didn't have to be rescued like I did last year from the climbing wall 😊 Later we went... See More »

Our family outing this weekend

Our daughter has been a little off colour for the past couple of weeks, so we'd planned a trip this weekend, with one of her cousins, to blow off some cobwebs. Last night the shortlist of activities was as follows: (1) Swimming, sauna and hot tub... See More »

Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado wins Nobel Peace Prize

Machado, the opposition leader in Venezuela, has largely been in hiding since last year's presidential elections. She's recognised "for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela" and "her struggle to achieve a just... See More »

All the seasons in one teenager's afternoon

🌞 Collected my daughter from my mother's house yesterday. She had stayed the night and as usual had been a perfect angel for grandma. 🌩 Thought I'd take advantage of a good mood in the car to gently broach the subject of cleaning her room. This... See More »

Poacher turned gamekeeper

As part of her vocational course in health and nutrition, our daughter is helping her PE teachers to deliver weekly lessons in some of her school's feeder primaries. The idea is to introduce the older children to their likely next school and give my... See More »

Four seasons in one day

We woke up this morning shivering. The weather has alternated for most of the day between very heavy showers and bright sunshine, really quite warm at times. With 55 mph gusting wind for good measure. My daughter came home from school a couple of... See More »
