Sick days 32/365

A bug has hit us, H had it at the start of the week and I have fought through it but today B had to be off school. I know she’s not right as there has been not a peep from her!!! This is the two of them snuggled up as I type, roll on summer!

School run parking 30/365

OK rant time. Everyday on the school run I get annoyed with what parents do, parking on the pavement, blocking people in and even driving along the pavement rather than giving way to on coming traffic. Our local policeman has been out on a number of occasions but it has no effect, the school ask parents to be considerate but it falls on deaf ears. What annoys me the most is that its these people who would be the first to protest if their child was knocked over walking on the pavement! Please think of the safety of others when choosing where to park and not just where is the closest to the gate you can park!!!

I had to be quite discreet but what you can’t see is that cars are parked all along the right hand pavement and 5 mins after this it was worse!

Cleaning cupboards 28/365

I hate my kitchen mainly because it has very little cupboard space, but while cooking tea tonight I’ve reorganised two of them and made some much needed space!!!

I don’t know how long it will stay like that but I’m enjoying the fact it’s tidy for now!

Domestic Goddess 22/365

Sometimes I feel like the housework is never ending so when B announced tonight that she was going to tidy the porch I didnt expect much! The porch is the smallest and messiest place in the house normally so I was very surprised when I saw this………

Well done B you did a fan job!!
