Friday was another stay at home day, due to the appalling weather! We went down to Mums, left Alex there and Simon and I went on a railway meeting. It wasn't very exciting, but as we've been on at the management abut communication for months and it was an open forum, we thought we'd better go. Craig Binns got upset about criticism of the ( Read more... )

On Wednesday morning I was glad to take Alex to Ladybirds, then I went home to do some more garden demolishing. I need to keep my end up as Simon is doing such a good job on the edgings! I ripped out a load more weeds and plants, then tried to get some compost out and failed. I also sorted a load of herbs out for Hannah, who came over with some ( Read more... )

Sunday was a nice day. We spent it messing about with Mum, then at 16:00 when she said she was leaving Alex insisted on going with her, so she took him. Spoilt boy. It was odd having the end of the day to myself. I spent it mainly in the booking office catching up on paperwork I've been meaning to do for ages, such as writing the welcome letter for ( Read more... )

I had to take Alex to a NAL session on Thursday, which was in a tiny meeting room that was mostly table. The little bugger was brilliant, I was hoping he'd play up so I could make a point. He spend the session mucking about under the table with everyone passing his toys back and forth ( Read more... )

Today has been a quiet one. My new under bust steam punk corset and vibrams turned up. The vibrams came with a new discount voucher, so I've bough some KSOs as well, we shall see what they are like when they arrive ( Read more... )

The weekend was a pretty good one. Alex wasn't clingy at all, oddly after 9 days away. I have raised a very independent little boy! When Mum appeared he was straight off with her, so I caught up on the accounts from last weekend's wedding bar. We've done fairly well out of that ( Read more... )

The rest of the weekend was fairly quiet, though it appears that even after most of the week with her Granny's novelty has not worn off, as Alex was still pleased to see her on Sunday morning ( Read more... )

Little Elms was rather more involved then I expected, we ended up clearing out all the lettuce as it wasn't getting eaten, and digging the pink fur apple potatoes. I also transferred the cucumbers over to the empty potato bed, so I hope they do well. We had some huge carrots for snack time, and they were lovely. We distributed the potatoes and ( Read more... )

The full sized lorry that had been driven up from Norfolk with the level crossing panels on it failed to turn round in the station yard entrance, and spent 2 hours wedged across the road. Getting it out involved Michael crawling underneath it to break up and remove the monument block wedged under it that it had driven over, and shift a load of mud ( Read more... )

Still nothing. I've been up and active all day to see if it helps, so I've got the 2 gallons of plum and 2 gallons of elder berry wine bottled. My auto stop bottle filler thing definitely makes the job much easier, rather then having to mouth syphon when the valve has failed for every bottle ( Read more... )
