Oh Wow
Well we did it! Got to the end of Saturday and survived. After my last update there was so much happening. The children, well two of them, had their final GCSE exam. They were studying physics, it’s over now much to their delight. I told them if they pass good they don’t have to study […]
MoreFriday Findings
Friday, the last day of the ‘working week’; for some anyway. A mother, wife, housewife’s job does not have weekends off. I do not complain though as I enjoy my job, it just makes a good opening for a post. Last time I had updated we had been out for the day and Sol had […]

MoreThe Show Must Go On

MoreSlow Cooker Mint Oreo Fudge
A day can’t go by when there’s not some busyness in our house. The children are rehearsing like crazy for a pantomime they are in.
