I always lose track of what day it is over Christmas, and this year is no different. The time seems to have gone quite quickly. Thankfully I...
It's felt like an extremely long week, thankfully it's almost over. Anna has been ill since Monday, although she's mostly better...
Saturday saw Anna and I out alone together for the first time since Kitty was born, and what better way to spend the time than seeing the Ma...
I've finally got all my Christmas presents sorted! Still waiting for a couple to be delivered (I was going to buy one present in HMV but...
We had a reasonable weekend, despite Kitty being unwell and Nicky being prone to silliness. On Saturday I took Nicky into town so he could ...
Everyone in the house is ill to some degree, and as a result everyone is also sleep-deprived. I'm surviving by drinking lots of coffee, ...
This week hasn't been brilliant sleep-wise, but compared to last week it's been relatively good. I even felt refreshed enough at squ...
We've not had a really good night since Monday, with one or more frequently both Nicky and Kitty waking up. With Kitty it's to be ex...
Between them, Nicky and Kitty ensured we didn't get much sleep last night. This was particularly unwelcome as I played squash last night...
It was a really warm weekend, could have done with weather like that in the summer! We had a lazy day on Saturday as both kids have been unw...
Had a pretty good weekend. Went down to Adam's for a band session on Saturday, our first for three years! We even had a reasonably respe...
Perhaps I should just title each post with whatever part of my body is currently not 100% - I can't remember the last time everything wa...
I'm still not completely well it seems - I missed taking the antihistamines for one day last week and was coughing the next, so will hav...
The antihistamines seem to have done the trick - I'm only coughing very occasionally now and feeling a lot better for it. I haven't ...
The cough is still going strong so went to the doctor again yesterday. It now looks like the cause of the coughing is my runny nose, so I...
One day, Nicky will realise that he should sleep when he's tired and I won't have to waste time waiting for him to fall asleep. Toda...
I've got one more antibiotic pill to take, and I'm not entirely sure if my cough is getting any better. I'm guessing it has, bec...
This cough really doesn't want to shift, it's getting quite violent at times. It's also been keeping me awake which isn't wh...
It feels like it's been a long week, although that's mainly due to the usual lack of sleep (have been up before 6 for the past coupl...
Feeling very much like a zombie this week. Kitty is still teething, Nicky is playing up to try and get attention, and even on nights where t...
The last week seems to have dragged and been one long slog, but today feels slightly better, even though I've still not slept I don'...
Nicky was awake at 4am this morning. On the plus side he was asleep at 5.30pm yesterday so he slept for 10 and a half hours without really s...
Kitty seems to be going through a growth spurt and sleep regression at the same time - both entirely normal, but not conducive to everyone e...
I'm still not quite recovered after Glastonbury, my knees still ache but I can walk normally now, and my back is still a bit tight. It...
I guess I'm getting old, as I'm still aching post-Glasto, I'm sure it never used to take me this long to recover! We travelled...
I went down to the caravan storage place yesterday to sort out having the old caravan taken away, and to load up the new one with things for...
Last weekend we went to Clacton again, to test out caravan 2. We went to a different holiday park this time, the Haven, which seemed much be...
The bank holiday weekend was pretty hectic, although was mostly enjoyable. I decided not to stress about the caravan until Tuesday because t...
On Tuesday, I had a towbar fitted to my new car, with the plan of going away somewhere next weekend to see how the new car deals with towing...
Despite weekends no longer counting as time off due to the kids (and I feel so old being able to say 'kids'), this weekend has been ...
I'm finding it hard to keep track of what day it is or what I've done on certain days, or am going to do on other days. I'm havi...
I actually finished this book a while ago but haven't had a chance to write about it. It's the latest (and 'final') chapter ...
Up until recently, Nicky has always said 'you' when referring to himself, I guess because that's how we refer to him. I correcte...
This weekend we took the caravan up to Clacton. I wanted our first trip to be somewhere relatively close as I'm still inexperienced at t...
I should write more often - my short term memory is kaput at the moment. Reading my previous entry, I can remember doing those things, but I...
The gaps between blog entries seem to be increasing, need to blog a bit more frequently really, although I haven't used my laptop since ...
Had a very tiring weekend. It seems as though Kitty doesn't like it when Anna eats chocolate, so she's having to not eat it for a wh...
The washer/dryer has broken for the second time in three months. A Hotpoint engineer came this morning, diagnosed a dodgy thermistor (same p...
The funeral was on Wednesday morning, and we had a nice day for it. The service went as well as could be reasonably expected, and afterwards...
As things go, I've been sleeping moderately well over the last few days, but I still feel like I'm not in control of things. For exa...
It goes without saying these days that I didn't sleep very well last night. I think Nicky is teething as he was up several times in the ...
I think we're reaching new levels of tiredness now. Last night featured both children not sleeping for one reason or another, and it'...
I was going to write yet another blog entry about not sleeping, but I had some news this morning which makes that seem extremely trivial. I...
I played squash last night for the first time since Kitty was born, and despite thinking I'd be out of practice I started really well, w...
Had another restless night - not the best preparation for my return to playing squash tonight! I also had the last part of my root canal don...
Last night was relatively much better - we had an earlyish night (about 10 o'clock) and although Nicky woke up a couple of times I got m...
