A Triple Celebration!
Posted on 8:13pm Monday 28th January 2008
An advantage of having lots of kids is the fact that there are always so many achievements to celebrate! Today, Abbiegail has jumped two reading levels and both Callum and Amy have made the school rugby team! They have a tournament on Wed. I am very proud of them (again!)

Imformation Overload!
Posted on 9:25pm Thursday 24th January 2008
It's been a really manic week appointment wise. In the last seven days, we have had with Alfie, two Portage appointments, an Occupational Therapy appointment, a Speech Therapy appointment, and an appointment at Chatsworth House, with a Doctor. This is all due to the fact that Alfie is going to have a statement of special needs. All the experts involved with Alfie have to do assessments and reports, for this statement. They are anxious to see him, at the last minute, to see where he is at, in order to do a more accurate report. It's been an absolute merry-go-round and it's not over yet.

Common Sense ? - What's That?
Posted on 4:41pm Monday 21st January 2008
*This entry had been edited to include the real author's name. I had this sent to me in an email and thought it so brilliant that I wanted to share it (I should of explained that first time posting!) Unfortunately, it never came with an author's name on it. I never thought that it would be assumed I had written it! Apologies for any confussion caused, but, I am pleased that my mistake has revealed the author of this fantastic piece of work.

Still Bloody Hurts After Five Reefs (hic!)
Posted on 11:43pm Friday 18th January 2008
Oh dear! I have been in the notorious Bulldog pub, tonight, with my adopted sis/neighbour. Can I tell you a secret?! Ssssshhhhh! It is not rough and it is certainly not the "hard man's pub" it is made out to be. I sat in there quite happily, listening to the chronic 80's music, feeling quite at home. The man who designed our SaveWalcotLibrary website was in there, he is a lovely chap! Definitely not the thug material that the Bulldog is rumoured to contain! I was brought a few drinks. I had five bottles of Reef! How disgustingly terrible is that! Tough! I have been stuck in this house all darn week with two sick children and a bad foot and I really, really needed a break! It was bliss! I was Beckie, not Mum, just for a few hours :)

Watch My Foot!
Posted on 8:43pm Tuesday 15th January 2008
Why is it that when you have a bad foot, as if by magic, it turns into a child magnet? The little toads just can't stay away from it. If I had a squid for every time I yelled "Watch My Foot!" Me, I would be rich. It's been knocked into and trodden on so many times now, it's just not funny. Amy Liz got so fed up of my familiar cry, earlier, that she decided drastic action needed to be taken. She found the address labels out; you know the big white stickers and wrote in her neatest, boldest handwriting “STAY AWAY BAD FOOT!” Then, she promptly stuck the sticker on my sock!

What Do You Know About The History Of Where You Live?
Posted on 8:45pm Tuesday 8th January 2008
I know very little about Walcot, so I decided to do a bit of research. I came across this fascinating article. Cows in Walcot, no Queens Drive, no buses into town and no shops at first! Walcot really was another world when it was first built.
