Well, Cheeky S and his Daddy are over 900 miles away in Portugal, so he has no choice but to spend time with the baby ;) I believe they're spending the day fending off interfering comments from my Husband's grandmother, and trying to book an earlier flight home (I KNEW he'd find it too hard on it own with the baby, I KNEW IT!)I DID make CHeeky S scrawl on a card with crayons though and put it in their suitcase, though....


Happy Father's day, Dads!

Hmmm.... I got up with the kids at XXX, entertained them, made them breakfast, set up drawing for them as I started cooking Sunday dinner. No cards, no presents, and Mrs CitEd not emrged yet at 10.15.


But... that is a pretty perfect day anyway - she worked a night shift last night and I got a lovely kiss on the cheek from my oldest (6yr)with a brief line about Father's Day...

'Daddy' has gone mountain biking leaving me to cook/host Sunday lunch for my father and stepmother, my sister and husband and 3 children and not forgetting of course baby jb! Fortunately she's playing ball by having a long morning nap . . . Lunch prep nearly done . . . When can I open the wine?
The kids gave Mr Pickle cards and chocolates at 7am, then I entertained until them 8:30am (I say "I", I mean CBeeBees) - so he got a nice lie in. But now I have a day of rehearsals (one down already, another this afternoon) so he gets to spend father's day looking after his children!
In the name of father-daughter bonding, DH spent last night sleeping in the same room as our DD, whilst I had a blissful night of uninterrupted sleep. DD was on her best behaviour and only woke for a minute and self soothed back to sleep. I dare not hope that this is the way she will sleep from now on....! Spoiling DH with extra special brekkie, lunch and supper plus a medley of homemade cheesecake cupcakes for afternoon tea.

We made baby and 5 year old hand and foot print picture yesterday for their daddy - but I think the paint stained hands and feet kind of gave it away! It was a very messy affair. Numerous other father's day cards made by 5 year old!!!


We also took him out for lunch which led to him (and me, I must confess) drinking far too much wine. A good day was had by all.


Happy Father's Day to to all the other daddies.

OH got back from Aus with littlest on Friday so their time clock is still completely out of whack. So Father's day involved - making breakfast and the ceremonial hand made card presentation and subsequent - ooohs and aaahs.


Then we (the girls) decorated a cake, while littlest stabbed it with a paint brush (?!)

Then I made the best roast beef ever (with prepacked posh tatties - ha ha! )


Everyone fell into a fat bellied, sleeping heap for the afternoon, while I got to watch my blood and gore programmes.

OH failed to wake up (still!) so I got both girls up, fed them, bathed them, got them back to sleep again...


Now I'm hitting the booze!

    • It's not entitlement FFS. We're paying the council more than £2k a year in tax. It's not too much to expect them to clean the streets and drains of leaves and dog shit for all that money, as well empty one bin once a fortnight.  The streets round here are a disgrace. The council are paid to make them not so. If they can't do it they should say so and stop charging money for the non-service.
    • The Post Office no longer runs the Lordship Lane PO either.  That slipped through under the radar!  Below is an extract from a letter from the PO to me in response to my query about long queues.  Shame the PO didn't say who the new owner actually is.  Does anyone know?   Whilst this branch was a 'Crown' office, this has now been franchised. Services at this location are now operated by an independent Postmaster. They're responsible for all aspects of the day-to-day running of the branch, and is the employer of the members of staff who work in the branch.   
    • Leaves falling throughout autumn and winter is just nature doing its thing. My bugbear is manmade rubbish strewn all over the floor after bin day. I go out and gather up leaves in my own area. Those with a garden put them in a bag and leave. They make lovely compost.
    • Shouting Out For England is an original England football song to be sung by children from East Dulwich primary schools, with all proceeds going to Football Beyond Borders - a UK charity that works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school. We’re aiming to get to NUMBER 1 on the week of the start of the World Cup in June! To professionally record and release the song we’re looking to raise  £3,750. Any amount will help, but £50 + sponsors receive: a name or logo credit on the digital release sleeve (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, YouTube etc.) mention on the project website and social posts You can donate at https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/shoutingout - where you can also hear a short demo clip of the song. We hope you can take part, but if not, it would be great if you could forward to anyone you think might be interested!   Shouting Out For England https://shoutingoutforengland.com
