The trouble is I just can't stop myself from buying new bits and pieces when I go to my local kitchen shops or even better still the national one L.....nd where I love a new gadget or two! My daughter loves eBay and I'm beginning to think I might try it too. My charity shops have had pretty good support from me over the last few years so I might give it a go.Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-68944225337257974612014-02-23T12:28:28.145+00:002014-02-23T12:28:28.145+00:00Oh Vanessa, kitchen upheaval AND half term?! No wo...Oh Vanessa, kitchen upheaval AND half term?! No wonder you're feeling a bit anxious lately! I'm freaking out about the fact that it's the last day of half term and we have the family coming round for dinner today - goodness knows where we'll sit or eat, because the table is covered with crayons, fabric, play-dough, glitter...what was I thinking? Hang in there, at least you'll have a lovely new kitchen at the end of it all (which you can photograph beautifully and we'll all oooo and ahhh over it!). I often wonder what mums of boys do with growth spurts, even my two young girls eat like massive rugby players when they're growing...perhaps keep some cattle in the garden? ;-) Chrissie x ps They're old enough now to hold the car boot on their own - you just drive them there then sit and crochet, or wander round!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148016735714521048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-91468461611722518012014-02-22T20:56:21.449+00:002014-02-22T20:56:21.449+00:00Such a pretty pile of cups and mugs...

No lie ins for me then! My hubby has gone to S.Africa for three weeks, one week left to go and it can't go quick enough, so I'm wishing these holidays by I'm afraid. On the subject of eating, my youngest is five and he is definitely growing at the moment as he is packing the food away, more so than my eight year old. The ten year old eats as much as I do, and I like my food! Its unbelievable to watch it dissapear, I'm guessing the teenage years we would be best off moving next door to the supermarket!<br /><br />Hope that you manage to find some calm for your projects among the chaos!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/10821840185143701654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-34059488987265807482014-02-21T19:26:02.092+00:002014-02-21T19:26:02.092+00:00helloooo lovely, im always amazed by mothers with ...helloooo lovely, im always amazed by mothers with more than one child~ my sophs creates enough mess!!!, but 3 boys!

Especially as cleaning out has co-incided with half term - double nightmare. Just keep taking pretty pictures and keep the cupboard stocked up with boxes of cereals - my boys (both now well over 6' tall and in their 20's, and not living at home thankfully), both ate us out of house and home - I remember it SO well. Now they're all on health-kicks and are so fussy about their diets!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105382986664426959.post-6733817278902512312014-02-21T17:32:14.008+00:002014-02-21T17:32:14.008+00:00I LOVE those star bowls!

I never get a break from my little one, and I have been keeping a baby all day almost every day in addition to my little one. It's so much work to have them home all day with me! There are times when I wish I could get a moment to breathe....hear my own thoughts. I can totally relate to this post!

M...Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for this post!!! My not so wee ones have been home this week on winter break and I can't believe the similarities....up earlier than school days, ALWAYS hungry, and video game sound effects perpetually underway. The house is on a slippery slope to destruction and I'm a frazzled mess. I had intended to tackle it all today and get things back on track but I realize now the kiddos have none of the anxiety about the situation that I do...in fact I do believe they are as pleased as pigs in a mud pile. Perhaps I should give them this one last day to wallow, turn a blind eye to the mess, and immerse myself in a creative project of my own. There will be time enough to clean the house next week once they're back to the books! Good luck with the car boot and if you put the bears in charge please do let us know how it goes!
