Tissue paper stained glass windows

Yesterday was just one of those days the kids were up at 5, yes 5am! so I woke up in a grump, by about 7 they realised it wasn’t the bet idea they’ve ever had and were knackered (very grumpy household).

Reading cleansing water I thought am i just being conned out of a fiver for a bottle of water? probably.  What is micellar? I don’t no but it…

parenting torture

Some days I do question whether my sweet innocent children are in fact that or mini trained assassins put on the earth to torture me.Firstly it’s the sleep deprivation 4:50 was not the time I wanted to be woken up this morning but now that they out number us it is completely impossible to get them back to sleep. Until of course I’m up an then about half 6-7 they’ll have an hours nap. Then once up I have to watch 3 of the most anoying things I have ever had to deal with – no not the children, but…
