Normally if things are going to happen over the weekend, they start on a Friday, do you find that? Come three in the afternoon at work I found myself colder than a penguin in the North Pole. As I drove home from work I had the car heating turned up so high you could have […]
Saturday morning I woke up to the birds singing, the sun shining through the curtains and the smell of fresh air drifting through the windows, oh, and silence upstairs. Fearing the worst I went downstairs to see two children on tablets and a wife grinning at me. I sat down ready to ask why at […]
I know I usually moan, but today I had a leisurely lie in, no punch ups, no raised voices, and I started to panic. What was going wrong? I rushed downstairs to find most of my family at our trough eating breakfast. Having finished breakfast the usual complaints began – “Life is over! My tablet […]
I consider myself fairly computer literate, and have to say I thought I could hold my own. Last night my wife went out, and my little girl started playing the piano, so I grabbed my mobile phone and said I would play drums. Between you and me I have no musical talent whatsoever, but in […]
Can we be honest for a while? I know you laugh along with me with my adventures in fatherhood but there are times when it’s a hard slog. My son is so mummy-fied at the moment that should Mummy go out of sight then I get “Where’s Mummy?” This will go on until I am […]

I woke up and floated downstairs, while my kids watched television and I made breakfast, whilst my wife was asleep, and not a single person interrupted my freshly ground coffee and porridge. I went back […]
Today I was super prepared and ready to take on the world, the trouble was I had to open my eye lids soon, and I was already tired, and tomorrow was not looking great either! My wife reminded me that I was picking up the kids, and making dinner tonight, so I leapt out of […]
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 […]
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 […]
