Saturday afternoon I was changing Daisy's nappy and singing to her as I do quite often. For some reason I was singing JT's hit Loved stoned - note that I am not really a huge JT fan nor where the song came from. I digress. Anywho, there I was singing away "and I think that she knows. I think that … [Read more...]

Daisy had maybe the best weekend of her life playing her friends, and Mum and Dad for 3 days.We got away Thursday afternoon (earlier than expected due to a head on accident Mum, Daisy and I were involved in Thursday morning on … [Read more...]

So.......Friday I took Project GBGB by the horns. I dropped off Daisy with my sister at 11.30 (AM!!) and took myself off to the hairdressers to get a newdo. I spent 3.5 hours there sitting on my arse doing nothing except drink coffee and read trashy magazines (bliss!!!) I then went and did some … [Read more...]

This the project that I came up with on the way home from work on the bus and it shall be my focus for the next month. Project GBGBScope of work: To get Beth feeling better about … [Read more...]

Something REALLY REALLY good and exciting happens that slaps you right out of your funk.Rob got a TV show he has been working on accepted for developemental work!!!!!!!!!!!

So I have had an interesting (and mostly crappy) couple of days. I think I have upset myself, my husband, Daise and others I probably don't even know of. It's a funny thing having a blog because you put yourself out there, what you are thinking/feeling frustrated by and there it is for all to read … [Read more...]

I had enough of myself yesterday. I was sick of the sound of my whinging SO on the bus home I wrote a list of things to do to get missing groove back. I got inspired - almost pumped up about the month ahead - some challenges I was going to set for myself and reach - and really felt like I was … [Read more...]

Don't tell me how lucky I am just piss off and let me whinge.I am feeling a little blah if you hadn't noticed. Feeling a little unsure of myself at the mo...feeling too much like a … [Read more...]

I like to think of myself as a fairly open minded person. I have always even prided myself on the fact that I am open to most things, accepting of most people and what they decide to do. I know people are different, that different things floats different peoples boats etc etc but I have to say in … [Read more...]

Yesterday we had a few beers with some friends of ours - Josh and Susie - and some drunk people that looked like they had spent all day there were quite taken with Daise (actually they thought her name was Stacey so kept calling her that!). One of them had a camera and was taking loads of shots of … [Read more...]

This morning Daise threw her first proper tantrum. I mean she has thrown plenty of wobblies in her short life but this was something else entirely. In fact it warranted a call to Rob to tell him HIS daughter was beahving like a minx. Arched back, screaming, arms and legs kicking and on the floor. … [Read more...]

We decided last week to dig in deep and take the kids to the Royal Easter Show for the day last Friday. We went with my Mum and Sister and her 3 kids - Alice (4), and the twins Liam and Lucas (2). We were all a little anxious about it because the kids could have turned feral at any given moment but … [Read more...]

It was 3 years ago today that Rob and I were married. I can't believe that time has passed so quickly. When I look back on the wedding day and remember all that I was hoping and wishing for - for happiness for us both, for a family of our own and for all our friends and family to love and support us … [Read more...]

We had a lovely long weekend albeit a little crazy and all over the place! Good Friday was indeed a Good Friday as we had a lovely lunch with all of Rob's family as well as his cousin who has moved over from London. It was so lovely to meet Maddie at long last and have a chat and laugh with them. We … [Read more...]

And that goes for all of us. Actually I can't speak for Rob just Daise and I have been for the last week. She, because of a NASTY cold and some more teeth coming in. Not sure which ones they are but she has been dribbling for Australia and pulling at her mouth so I assume that what's going on. She … [Read more...]

It just seems to be leaping by! I can't quite catch my breath actually. The weeks seem to come around so quickly that when I turned to the new week in my diary and saw that it was week 10, that's right, week 10 I had to turn the pages to see if in fact there had been a printing error in my Burbery … [Read more...]

There I was going about my business on Wednesday when I found a lump in my breast. I didn't think much of it as they have always been a bit funny since breastfeeding and I never really know what is normal. Anyway, the lump was there and it was actually hurting a bit. It's funny as soon as you notice … [Read more...]

I took these photos of Daisy on the weekend and when I looked at them I was struck at just how much they represented everything I ever imagined I could have. You know when you are younger and you try to picture how you WANT your life to look like - the kind of house, the children, the family, the … [Read more...]

We celebrated the big 1st birthday with a little party in the local park on Saturday morning with close friends and family. It was a lovely little celebration and I was very pleased with how it all went.I put a bit of pressure on myself to create a good cake. In fact I have always thought that it … [Read more...]
