I was hoping for a great morning today following last night. Why, I hear you ask? Well, my little girl’s bed fell to bits like most of the furniture in our house after our kids had stress tested it! Years of jumping up and down took their toll, and it collapsed in cloud of dust. […]
Today is the last public holiday of the year, so last night my wife and I sat on the sofa and discussed an early start to make the most of the next day. I suggested that we all get up at 6am as we normally do to get use to the normal schedule, but my […]
I’m sure someone is feeding my little girl lyrics from a song during the night, and then when she wakes up she just recalls them. As my eyelids burst open this morning I was expecting the worst, you know, things like there’s been a small accident with the tap in the kitchen, or my personal […]
I always like to think I am the head of the household, but I secretly know my wife is the boss, although I never admit that. It’s hard when even your kids reaffirm this, like this morning when I took the kids downstairs while Mummy had a lie in. As we got down I quickly […]
Today was a big day for me, so when I woke up a few minutes later than normal I was on a mission to get back on track. I washed, found some clothes in record time and dressed. I went down the stairs, and tackled lunch-boxes, which were made observing the strict rules! Strict rules […]

This past week I have been decorating our front room, putting all of the furniture in the middle with a little walkway around the edge. Now what amazes me is that the moment I opened the paint tin, it makes anyone under the age of eight need a poo or wee. There I was up […]
I don’t ask for many things in life, but my one guilty pleasure since I could shave was to turn on the shower radio, listen to the local radio and enjoy a relaxing shave. The bathroom door seems to have a weird effect on children’s voices and the kids usually wait till I turn on […]
Some days I come home from work and can hear heated exchanges as I put my keys to the door, and I have to confess I take the key back out and wait. Tonight was quiet, very quiet, almost too quiet. Either something big just went down or something did not withstand Captain Chaos’s rigorous […]
After a hard week at work, what better way to start Friday night than with a hot bath at near nuclear level to wash away the stress. My wife said she was having a night out and would I mind? Not me princess, on my own with the kids at bedtime is a piece of […]
