On The Bottle!

Surely he's a bit young to start on the gin!

Teen Angel!

Can you believe that tiny baby is now a great big 13 year old girl!

Izzy's Pizza Party

Iz had some friends over for pizza for an early birthday treat today.
Lots of eating and giggling took place!

New Place

Actually it's an old place which is where Sam and I stayed last night,
it just happens to be called New Place!

January Escape!

Sam and I have sneaked away to a nice hotel just for one night...
Although the picture looks like we've jetted off to somewhere
Mediterranean this is actually Portsmouth!

This Sums Up The Last Month

So:- it's 10pm on Christmas Eve and the garage door falls off, or doesn't, at this point it can't be opened or closed! Half the fairy lights above are out.. I have the flu.... and have yet to be Father Christmas! You get the picture!

So sorry to my blog regulars but it's been a difficult blogless month.

I'm now feeling much brighter, the garage door is fixed, the lights are packed away til next Christmas and my flu has left me with no more than a wheeze....

Regular blogging resumes!

Oh no! Here we SNOW again!

A spot of Christmas Shopping

In London today Christmas shopping and meeting Auntie Lesley for dinner.

Christmas Pudding!

A great big Christmas Pudding landed in our garden!

What do you mean it's not sunbathing weather?

I tried to get the kids to lay in it but they were having none of it!
I hope you like the wellies!

Snow Joke!

It doesn't normally do this here until February! Could be a long
winter living on top of a hill in 'sunny' Eastbourne!

Ikea!

I dropped Auntie Lesley to Heathrow and took a sneaky trip to Ikea on
the way home, bought lots of Christmas decorations and was home in
time to pick up the kids from school.

Crazy Hair Day

Max had crazy hair day at school so he went like this. Looks quite
normal to me!!

Demonstration!

During a most necessary shopping trip to Brighton we got caught up in
the student protests. Luckily it was all very peaceful... I did look
among the crowd for Joe as I'm quite sure he was involved but couldn't
see him. Hardly surprising when the march consisted of around 4000!

I predict a riot!

I predict a riot!
Looks like the police did too...!

Best Boys Day Out

Max's school had an inset day today so my friend Kirsty and I took our
boys for a day out.... Without the girls!!!

Max's Room

This is Max's 'new' room. It's has a Red, Stars and Stripes, Mini car,
Union Jack, Football theme with a bit of Lego and Star Wars thrown in
for good measure.... And, yes that is Sonic on the bed post! Heaven
for a boy of nearly 8!

Christmas Begins Here

Mum, Auntie Lesley and I have been to London to a Christmas show...
Now comes the fun journey of getting through Lewes on bonfire night!!!

Halloween

All ready for two Halloween parties today!

Fit for a princess!

During half term I decided to give the kids rooms mini makeovers...
This is what Izzy's room now looks like.
Dumb and blonde as ever, I forgot to take the 'before' picture but
trust me this is a vast improvement.
