Common Tuesday

With both Reagan and Lincoln having music lessons in Sandbach on a Tuesday just far enough apart time wise that I take Reagan to piano and wait in the car parked on the common for half an hour. I then drive home and if Jamie has cooked tea there is time to eat before driving  […]

Why can’t it be like it used to be?

I believe Reagan is slowly realising how much her life is about to change and I think it must be beginning to play on her mind. She wanted to go to a national trust today but it was important that Lincoln went too, like it always used to be, and I think she can tell […]

Ignoring mistakes

Trying to finish the Adarondak chair I started a year ago was my mission this weekend not least because I wanted the space where the wood has sat in my shed all that time. The biggest issue I have always had with it is mistakes but also I was unable to see what it was […]

Signs of things to come

We sat tonight watching TV on a Saturday night while both Reagan and Lincoln were out enjoying themselves both on nights out the former celebrating her best friends 16th birthday the latter watching a production of the Wizard of Oz Oh how the times are changing….

House smart

With Mommy in London and the kids off school Reagan asked if she could have a few friends over for a film night on Friday which I said yes to straight away so long as the house is not wrecked. There were 5 teenagers in the house 5+ hours and the house was spotless before […]

I’m not the problem?

I went to the Legion tonight for a meeting that was billed as make-or-break for the survival of the club. We were told the club is running at a loss and currently has debts of around £20,000. As you’d expect at meetings like this, lots of people wanted to know why and how things have […]

Little Miss Sold

The whole, PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) mis-selling which occured when car dealers failed to act in a customer’s best interest, specifically by hiding, misrepresenting, or omitting key information about finance deals, has been annoying me for ages because both Jamie and me have had multiple agreements since 2007 but it felt so daunting to choose a […]

Dry February, How’s it going?

Its still dry although its not been a walk in the park for the first half I have found it difficult to stop myself thinking why am I doing this to myself why should I have to stop myself doing something I thoroughly enjoy doing, when everyone around me does what they love doing, everyday? […]

Remotely pleased

Jamie’s mom & dad asked me to help setup the new computer they had purchased because their old Windows 7 PC had issues, not least that it was Windows 7. I asked them to load UltraViewer and took over the screen of the new one and straight off the bat sorted Edge out to it used […]

Life is too short

Do I have time to send 50 messages a day if I did I would have time to help around the house “do my bit” we all need down time but down time is earned by working hard whether it be at your job or at home making a life. That life can be hard […]
