Vegtastic! – My first organic veg box

by Ellie on September 29, 2009

Since I last posted about my attempts to tighten the purse strings my efforts seem to have gone a little awry. I’m putting this down to our holiday last week and my little jaunt down south. My latest haphazard attempt at frugality was order an organic veg box from Riverford. The prices seem reasonable along [...]

Broken scales? Ahem…..

by Ellie on September 26, 2009

I seem to have acquired some extra poundage. Five to be precise. I, of course, have no idea how this oversight happened. It was obviously nothing to do with Or my new found friendship with It couldn’t have been caused by filled with lashings of And I cannot attribute it to the or the Without [...]

Daydream believer…..

by Ellie on September 26, 2009

Shhhh, don’t tell anyone. My children sleep. They sleep like those proverbial babies. For me, however, it’s a whole different kettle of fish….. Sleep. Five little inconspicuous letters. One unattainable daydream. I struggle to sleep. Those illusive eight hours of blissful relaxation escape me, nightly. It’s been this way my entire adult life. My head [...]

Hot or not?

by Ellie on September 25, 2009

Naughty Sausage – A sick twist of fate…..

by Ellie on September 21, 2009

Well, I did it. I was a big brave girl. I took my deep breaths, got on the train and ventured south of Yorkshire to visit some friends all on my lonesome, sans famille. Turns out the ‘sans famille‘ bit was a fate twistingly excellent decision. The original plan was to be chauffeur driven by [...]

Dear Reader, There will now be a short intermission while I take a well earned few days holiday. I have downloaded a blogging App to my iPhone so you may experience random blog entries over the next few days. These entries may not make any sense as I will by typing them on tiny non [...]

Hot or not?

by Ellie on September 18, 2009

It’s Friday again and that means ‘Hot or not?’ time! So, last weeks candidate was Gary Barlow and the jury was very much split. This week, as suggested by Laura at ‘Are we nearly there yet mummy?‘, I give you Benico Del Toro: Hot or not? Now usually he looks like a bag of spanners [...]

Deep breaths…..

by Ellie on September 17, 2009

The weekend is approaching. With every passing hour I am becoming increasingly nervous. Why? I am spending a night away from both the children and their Daddy. YIKES! I’m travelling south on the train to spend Saturday evening with some friends. I’ve pre-booked the tickets. I will not back out. The daft thing is I’m [...]
