couldn't find my engagement ring this morning. The first thing that came to my mind was "oh dear god I hope I haven't pawned it for a kebab last night", haha. Thankfully found it- phewweeee

My wedding

might be all modern and have a band play at the wedding. Wonder if the killers or coldplay will give me a good price.. If only jim'll fix it was still alive

OMG... my love (NOT) of duvet covers

What is it with the dam things??!! Honestly.. someone ought to have brought out a manual by now on the right/quickest way to get the things on!

And oh my gosh, don't get me started on changing the boys bunk beds... why oh why, did I buy the things in the first place?

Believe me, I understand the need for space.. however, I'm quite upset with the manufacturers instructions not mentioning the fact that in order to pop a sheet on the top bunk.. you need to be a yoga instructor stroke gym nastic... PLUS, have a whole dam day free in order to do it!

k, rant over... grrrrrrr... time to do a shop for single beds... me thinks!

Summer Holidays.. EEK!

Well, it's the first day of the summer holidays and exactly three hours since my little ray of sunshine woke up and already I have had "Mum, I'm bored!" Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Roll on the next six weeks!

I Hate Pigeons!

Now, I know there must be people out there who love and care for the things, so apologies to those of you who do...  but, I am certainly not one of them.

To the pigeons:

1. My garden is not a lavatory (and nor is my washing line an aiming target)

2. I am not a free source of food (Grass seeds are NOT meant for you!)

3. I would rather you took your mating rituals elsewhere (don't you have a nesting box for that?)

4. I am NOT a source of entertainment (Making me act like a 'Jack in a Box'.. is just Soooooooooooooo not funny!)

My Special Mum

        You are special because you never put me down.. You are special because you love unconditionally and until I had children of my own, I didn’t realise how special that was... I love you because you are so very kind.. that you're always there... and that no matter what.. If I ever really need you.. YOU WILL COME.... I love that you understand.. even when no one else does..  and I love that you are REAL... and you say things how it is.. all in all mum.. I love you tons xxxx

The Reason I love you!

To: My boys...

Because of you, I grew huge and worried (and also quite nauseous) every day for a whole nine months.

But because of you, my life has altered. I have loved more, certainly laughed more and have been given more happiness than I ever thought was possible.

To: My eldest...

I love you because the day you were born, you introduced me to parenthood and brought me more joy than I ever could have imagined. I love that you are sweet and kind and how you always put others before yourself. I love the way you flick your floppy hair across your face and the blueness of your eyes. I love how you show patience to your little brother and how you look out for him and ask him to do things with you... even when he hasn’t asked. I love how you’re growing up into a thoughtful and bright young man and finally, I love how your teachers and my friends tell me how great you are, even though I already know.  I am so proud of you.

To: My youngest...

I love you because you were the sweetest baby and always will be my baby, and even though you keep telling me that you’re now a big boy... You still let me call you ‘baby’. I love how you will try everything and how you, so very much enjoy making people laugh. I love how you like to talk about anything and everything, so that there is never a quiet moment. I love how you will come into my bedroom at least ten times a night to get a final cuddle and kiss. I love the way that you don’t let, what others think affect you and I just love the way that you find ways to socialise no matter where you are. I am so proud of you.

To: My boys...

You don’t need to count! You got the same number of words :)
