Florence went to a sleep-over with a friend the other day and when she came home she waxed lyrical about the home made chicken nuggets my pal had made with them. I quickly asked for her recipe which she uses bread crumbs or crushed Ritz biscuits for and then tonight we decided to make our own version. I’d vaguely heard about people making chicken nuggets with cornflakes and as we have some they seemed like a good idea so I […]

You would think getting pregnant might be the easiest thing on earth to do. Apparently fifteen year old girls only have to think about having nocturnals and they’re up the duffer while everywhere you look babies are travelling in multi coloured perambulators. However, for lots of people, it’s clearly not as easy as it sounds! I want to have another baby. Really, really I do! It might sound greedy as I have two of the best babies already but I can’t […]
I’m sat at my lap top with a bit of writer’s block actually. I know what I want to write for loads of posts but for some reason I just can’t get the words typed and it’s really annoying me. I don’t usually feel this way and I think it’s all down to my mood which is based around our upcoming move. I lurch from feeling really optomistic and happy about a new life in Norfolk to feeling very sad […]
Last week, for my first week back to reality after the Christmas break, I did a massive Aldi shop full of healthy food. I, like masses of people everywhere, am on a health kick for January and although I rarely manage to keep up my diets over the weekends I am fully intending on being good during the week! So, my plan was to do some exercise every day, eat good, fresh foods, not have alcohol and try to eat […]

A couple of month’s ago the children and I were asked to the premiere of the all new 2016 Teletubbies and we all thought it was absolutely brilliant. I’d remembered Teletubbies from when they first appeared on our screens and despite being in my late teens at the time, such was the cult status of the show, it was very much known to all of my friends too. My friend Angela bought me a little Po toy which my Mum […]
Teletubbies came back to our screens with a mighty custard splat recently and we were lucky enough to have been invited to the all star (there’s some serious names lending heir voices to the all new Teletubbies! Jim Broadbent, Jane Horrocks and Fearne Cotton to name but a few) premiere at the end of last year so we got to have a taste of the new tubby life before anyone else! Florence, who thought she was probably way too old […]
We are massive fans of In The Night Garden in our house and it doesn’t really matter how old the children get they still want to see the live show every year! And see it every year we have,ever since Florence was 18 months old. The year before last I attempted to go without her, was going to take one of Jimmy’s little friends instead and assumed she felt too old for ITNG! But… When she heard the news she […]
Well, tha’s it. The holidays are officially over for us today and to say I’m blue would be a little bit of an understatement. HOW have the last two week’s flown by so quickly and more to the point, HOW am I going to pack our flat up for our move in less time than that going forwards?! We had an abolutely brilliant time over the festivities eating more than we should, drinking more than we should, spending more than […]
