Toddler Keys →
I’ve just installed this so Sprog can have a go a the keyboard. It’s a free programme which disables all the keys on your computer, including the power key, which is useful if you have a laptop. You can add pictures and sounds reasonably easily for entertainment value so there is a reward for all that bashing typing.
The yellow squares...
they’re the bits with people underneath…

a parenting forum, not that great but I like the bit where you can offer answers to people’s questions… er, not that I really have any answers to my own parenting dilemmas let alone other people’s!
Conspiracy theory
So… apparently all Sprog’s chums sleep from 7pm to 7am. Surely it can’t be true? I see other parents pacing the supermarket looking as weary as me. There must be an alternative to the “7 til 7” club. Are we the only members of the “4am Massive”?!

Had some printing done by our local franchise, they’re great… miles better than the bother of having your own printer, no hassle of empty cartridges and the wrong paper etc

“I think the quickest thing would be for one of us to become Corgi registered.”
– Husband after gas man awol and not contactable. Still no hob or oven, perhaps will start reviewing ready meals…?
Baby of the week...
Tommee Tippee have very kindly sent Sprog a lovely goodie box of things for his stint as baby of the week, there’s that link again just in case you missed it first time round!
He is enjoying the plate holder and bibs they sent (we’re holding off the cutlery as I don’t really want to have sharp implements hurled around the house). I’m enjoying the lids they very kindly sent...

yet more reason to be paranoid when driving…

This blog has reminded me that I used to write. Sadly I didn’t keep a copy of my masterpiece “Barnacles” and I can only remember the first two lines:
“Barnacles are small and round They do not live upon the ground…”
Midstate Office Supply →
I think we should change our stationery supplier to these guys…
Sometimes you just wonder...
