It’s official, I really am cranky, but I promise it’s not my fault. I was awoken today – which is a Sunday – at stupid O’ clock, to the sound of books crashing beside my wife, only to realise one of our children was trying to be quiet. I think it’s safe to say this […]
Saturday’s, oh Saturday’s how I love thee! Can you tell I am in a good mood? Yes people, it’s rare, I am in a good, no wait, great mood, but today I am on top of the world. Why I hear you ask? Well let me tell you, I taught my little girl how to […]
If we are being honest with each other, have you ever told a lie? Okay, well now, if we are being honest, this week my wife and I, as parents, lied to our children, and to this day they do not know the truth. During the week an ice cream van went round our estate […]
Having originally bought our children a computer tablet to share, we saved hard and have been able to purchase another one, so they have one each. I know what you’re thinking, maybe they are using it in their rooms after hours, but hang on my keen bean, that base was covered. The router in our […]
I always seem to get myself into trouble, and this week was no different! Saturday arrived and Captain Chaos was going to a party, and I was having my little girl on my own for some quality Daddy time. I had said I would be taking her to lunch, and for days did not say […]
I have heard it said many times how a little girl can wrap you around her little finger, but until today never believed this was true, after all I’m a man, stamping my feet and saying no means no. That was all true until this morning, when I came downstairs to find my little girl […]
Do you remember in some really old films where they had a giant search light and beamed it all around to find someone escaping? Rewind to this morning, and around 6am my wife starting ranting and raving and shouting, so I awoke to my little fire breathing dragon venting her anger. When I finally engaged […]
I think everyone says “We need a bigger bed,” but seriously, we really do. I woke up to find five in our bed this morning – my wife, myself, my son, Bear and a robot dog. I wouldn’t mind, but between Bear and the robot dog they had more room than I did! Realising the […]
Most people today use their smart-phone as an alarm clock. Me? I have two children who manage to sleep very deeply school days, and today, which is a Saturday, manage to wake themselves up at 6am sharp, grab metal objects and bang them against the radiators in the house. By 6.15am today I was ready […]
Everyone has a little luxury, you know that little something that brightens your day. Mine? Well that’s good coffee, freshly ground little granules of heaven. This lunchtime we were sitting in church and I was dreaming of fresh coffee hugging blue top milk, and a very crispy bacon sandwich with runny egg in doorstop fresh […]
