Mummy, I want…

February 12, 2012 in Latest, Life

So my niece turns 10 this week. God knows what she is going to get for her birthday because she already seems to have absolutely everything she could possibly want. An iPhone, an iPod of some sort, a television and DVD player, a Wii, a Nintendo 3DS and various other gadgets and gizmos I haven’t even heard of.

Can there be four?

February 3, 2012 in Life

My baby is hurtling his toddle truck towards his first birthday. Before he came along I wanted 6 children, a huge brood, some biting at my ankles while others did sticking and colouring on the table, and others were messing up their bedrooms, perhaps 1 would enjoy helping mum and would do the hoovering and ironing with me (all totally ridiculous – I don’t even do any hoovering or ironing). Having my first at 35 made it doubtful I’d reach the 6, and after having 1 I’m doubtful I want 2.
