MrA’s school closed as of 9pm last night. He only found out when he got up this morning! He was up at the usual time (0615) Andres his breakfast. At 0800 he was asked to get dressed and to tidy his desk. By about 0930 he’d achieved this! No specific work had been sent by […]
The One About Contagion
*I am not a scientist* I’ve held off blogging about COVID-19, or coronavirus, until now. But the briefing from Government on 16th March has shaken me and spurred me into action. As a still relatively young teacher, with no underlying health issues, I am required to attend work still. To associate in close proximity with […]
The One With the Goals
I’ve been an occasional reader of The Organised Housewife (as my disorganised house will evidence!) So, when I saw that Katrina was launching a 2019 Challenge to Declutter 52 Things in 52 Weeks, I signed up. A pre-challenge task was to think about what I want to achieve by the end of the challenge. So, […]
The One Without an Easter Plan
I’ve had Easter holiday plans and “to do” lists before. I’ve even shared them here, inspired by someone else doing the same. Not for 2018, though. This Easter holiday, all our house is focussing on is recovery from a winter season of germs that have battered us all. We’re all tired, we’re all in need […]
The One Where I’m Outnumbered (part 2)
I shared week 1 of being outnumbered here. Below is week 2. Day 8 – at the risk of sounding like a broken record (haha! A new descriptor is needed – WTF isa record!?!!) we had another bad night’s sleep with MissE up for the day from 0520! MrA woke at 0730. By 1000 we […]
The One Where I’m Outnumbered Part 1)
MissE and MrA’s Daddy travels for work. Usually only short trips away, but a few times a year he’s away for a week or two. Today saw the start of what has become his annual January trip across The Pond. My first time being outnumbered in terms of kids:adults. I should say at the outset […]

The One Looking Back on 30 Days of Gratitude
Wow! A month goes so fast! Three blog posts later and what have I realised? I have a lot to be grateful for. And I owe a great debt of thanks to a few very special people. So, in no particular order: Thank youMrE for, well, everything! Looking after me, our babies, our house, the […]
