The kids were up at the crack of dawn playing with their guinea pigs; luckily it was another beautiful day.
Late morning I popped out to Tesco, I know I spend half my life there but with 7 kids, of whom 4 are over 19 yrs, we get through a lot of food. On my return [...]

After a romantic lay in with Hubby we were greeted by Vicky requesting us to come out to the garden to see her guinea pigs. It was a nice morning so we sat in the garden discussing the fact that we really needed some sort of run for the guinea pigs to spend part of [...]

Hubby had work at 6 am so I had a bit of a lay in until I was rudely woken by the sound of the telephone. It was my parents, they and my brother and family had arrange to rendezvous at my house for a short family gathering so I was needed to pick my [...]

While hubby was at work I popped to Tesco to stock up the cupboards for a few days, nothing lasts long in our house!
When I got back Matthew informed me that on checking the vole this morning he had discovered it dead on the floor of the cage, he was upset and quite tearful about [...]

The party girls finally got to sleep at about 2 in the morning but were up and awake playing Rock Band on the PS3 by 9 am. The lounge floor was covered in popcorn and sweetie wrappers amongst the bedding and discarded clothing.
A quick nag and the girls were dressed having breakfast, leftover birthday cake, [...]

The day had finally arrived, yes it was Vicky’s 10th birthday, and she had been reminding us now for over 6 weeks!
She was having her party/sleepover on Wednesday and the whole thing was lasting from 2.45 pm – 12 midday the next day, I must be mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hubby had work so I went off to Homebase [...]

Woke up reasonably early, after a good night sleep in our comfy five foot bed. It was our first day back from holiday and we were keen to tidy up the front garden before Vicky’s party on Wednesday.
The front garden looked like it had been neglected for years, although it had only actually been a [...]

Hard to believe we had been in Weymouth for 4 weeks now, but today was the last day of our holiday!
So with a heavy heart we got up early and started to clean, tidy up the caravan and pack. This took several hours and it was 3 pm by the time we had packed the [...]

I woke up to a much cooler day with rain in the air.
As I lay there it was hard to believe that I had been in Weymouth for nearly 4 weeks now. I had over indulged in sun and rich food with only moderate exercise and although I looked well with a healthy glow, well [...]
