The Oliver’s Finally Start Christmas
Now as some of you already know from my previous post 53 Days Till Christmas I am anally retentive when it comes to being organised for Christmas.

Dear Santa/Hubby

What is Meant to Be Will Be ….
With the festive feeling kicking in and all the ups and downs of the last few months I still sometimes wonder how I and Ollie (hubby) came to be. Now as some of you will know from my very first Meme Ollie and I were childhood sweethearts when I was 13 and he was 12. We were for over 9 months ...

Its Never to Late to Learn
Over this last few months my brain has been whirring and I have been feeling restless. Those of you that know me will know this is what I do, after periods of time non learning I get the itch to better myself and end up back at college. This particular restlessness started when my daughter was ...
Fun Photo Fun – Tupperware
Now as most of you know i like order and routine but with Joshua getting bigger and the fact he no longer likes staying in his playpen on his own, i have to now have my little helper while i am doing the mundane in the kitchen! Yesterday while drying the pots and putting them away i ventured into ...

Are We Potty?
Well for the last couple of weeks my little man has become more than interested in the toilet habits of the rest of us. He take great joy from standing in front of me while I am in the little girls room and waiting to hear me ‘tinkling’ then laughing whole heartedly! At first it was just me he ...
