Friday 15th December Last day at work today Diary, and man, I am tired, I’m on my knees! After dinner we started putting the kids to bed when I heard my wife shouting “What did you do that for?” Amazing, the Christmas stress has started already Diary, and I was around an hour into my […]
Ok we know each other well enough now to know I did not start my Saturday with hope and optimism, but more with coffee and survival! We were meeting my in-laws for coffee and cake at a nearby garden centre, so I was ready by the time my in-laws pulled up. We had the usual […]
This week I had the day off, and my wife and I had planned lunch together at a new restaurant, which was where she dropped a bombshell! I had completely forgotten about the school fair, and had avoided this for many years, but thanks to my bad timing I had the day off to join […]
This morning I had the day off of work. I woke up after the birds, to the sound of the bedroom door opening and my wife standing there with a hot coffee. What she said next blew the last remaining brain cells I had left clean away. My wife announced the kids were happy watching […]
Saturday the 28th of Forever Imagine, just imagine being woke up on a Saturday before the birds are out of their nest singing their hearts to the screams of “It’s a slug, it’s a slug! Nope, it’s ok, its just wet tissue roll I made earlier!” Well that was my Saturday wake up call, followed […]

Sunday mornings were made to be enjoyed, and as I woke up it lived up to its name, freshly ground coffee, relaxing breakfast, refereeing minor fights between kids, you know, all the usual stuff. We were a little late for church, so we all jumped into my wife’s car, affectionately known as the toy box […]
Sundays, oh Sundays you’re my favourite day, relaxing and peaceful and stress free, hang on why is someone screaming at me in the shower? As usual my kids wait until I am in the shower and then either proclaim they need a poo, or the worlds longest wee. This time all I could hear was […]
Well people, today as I write this we are off to see my family, who live a few hundred miles away, to celebrate my nephews first birthday. As we woke up this morning we were all calm, which is surprising, usually I am running round like a headless chicken trying to get snacks, drinks, prise […]
