Mum turns 80

We all went out to the Fox and Barrel at Tarporley today to celebrate me mums 80th birthday which is on Wednesday. I love getting together with my family because its so rare it is always a good but mum turning 80 was a big one!

Drinking thoughts Pt5487

I stood at 10pm making a sandwich last night after watching Lincoln play cricket at Alsager starving hungry but desperately not reaching for the wine hoping that I can have a night off…jeez it’s nearly bedtime you don’t need it!

Cricket net ready

Tied Down

Lincoln seems to be having a “tough” time at school when he came home first without a tie and then he got a detention for not doing his homework add on to that he came home last week with broken headphones after a boy in Home Bargains pulled them so hard off his ear it […]
