How's your month been?   Mine well all 4 children headed back to school including the twins starting senior school.  They have settled in amazingly well and are enjoying the variety of subjects.   Me well I am now mum taxi, dropping off and picking up from judo, rugby, shopping trips for the girls lol.  I have finished part 3 of my stitch along.

But I'm struggling as it is dark as soon as I get in and sit down now.  Autumn is upon us, but it means great british bake off is on tv which I love.  In fact that smell is 2 banana breads slow baking in the oven.  I escaped family life lat weekend to attend my friends hen do in London.

Me I'm grabbing a cuppa tea, I used to love coffee and drunk far too much but over the last few months I have switched back to tea.  I have fruit bread too, sadly not home baked.  I am loving the ABM photo app, just for adding doodles or frames to pictures :-) So how's your month been? In thus house it's been busy...visits to the beach, baking loads when it's been cold and wet out, visits into London, cinema trips all in between working full time and preparing for my twins birthday tomorrow. They turn the ...

It's that time of the month again, time to grab a cuppa and catch up. Head over to creatingpaperdreams link on the right. So how are you? How's summer going in your part of the world?  The last 2 weeks have been manic, the twins finished primary school which meant assemblies, plays, leaving parties etc. the eldest son has had his cast removed from his wrist and all X-rays show his wrist has healed although he can't return to judo for another few weeks. But he was invited to his school sports presentation evening, he won a prize for his basketball team efforts.  Unfortunately it was at exactly the same time as the twins play, so I went to the play then the presentation and caught 2nd half.  Now it's summer school, the twins are there for 2 weeks making new friends, getting to know their new teachers. Me juggling everything with work lol. I can't wait I have a week off soon, the plans are to wallpaper the living room.  We discuss life and the comings and goings of sum...

Opps a day late sorry but come in and grab a cuppa... So how's things?  What's been happening with you? This house has been manic again. Work and school commitments, the twins finish junior school in a few weeks and then enter high school.  Omg how did that happen. They are growing up so fast. They returned yesterday from their first residential school trip, sun kissed and full of stories to share.  My eldest broke his wrist in a judo comp last week so next Tuesday we are back at the hospital to see if they need to operate and pin it or it just needs a solid cast.  He has been so brave though and taking it all in his stride.  Me not so and have turned into major over protective mum lol So fitting all that around working full time has been fun. So share your news, what's happening. What crafty things have you been upto? Head over to Abi's blog creatingpaperdreams link on the right. To catch up with everyone else.  

Hi come in and grab a seat on this damp cold drizzly day. How are you? Let me put the kettle on.   I heard that abi is busy with her exams but thought I would still invite those who can to pop in for a cuppa.  You caught me reading a bit more of my book, it's about 3 girls who have been through high school/college together and now head off into life. Would you like a slice of cake, I made lemon drizzle and tea loaf,  So what's been happening, this month has been quite quiet really, work and more work.  Have been feeling real tired so for the first time ever I have given into it and got some early nights. Oh well time passes to quickly. I am dragging all 4 to the cinema to see the Lego movie. Wish me luck lol

I started my new job this month as an Assessor for the institute of customer service.  Travelling all over London and the Home Counties carrying out assessments as a final part of my customers qualifications.  So far so good :-) I'm enjoying the change of pace and the freedom of the new role. Last month I told you about our DIY tasks. Well all I have left to do in the new kitchen is paint the newly plastered walls. Not much else has really been happening, well apart from I have regained my love for cross stitch.  I had forgotten how relaxing I find it.   Thi...
