Living my best life

A lay in till 9am, Billy, then breakfast followed by all day in the garden panelling out the rest of my shed…love it! I could have easily spent £60+ on plywood but decided to see what I already had and either made it good with me table and mitre saws or chopped it up to […]

Pottering is the best

I loved pottering in the garden today I got so much done including tidying all the wood I had surrounding me shed and utilising any that was not water damaged to panel the inside of gable end. I also utilised as much of Celotex insulation to cover the intended opening for the window, Anything that […]

Love is…

As we sat in me shed drinking beer just talking and I thought, this is what love is, well it is for me anyway! Not literally, I mean the mundane, I mean living life every second of everyday with the person you just want to be with, doing everyday stuff and just loving it.

Great night

Lincoln and I had a great night last night watching football Bills v Pats followed by Green Bay v The Broncos while Reagan and mommy went to watch the Taylor Swift movie in Chester. Pizza, Wings and beer (non alcoholic for Linc) we had a good time teaching him about the rules and, of course, […]

Heat retention WOW!

Trying to dry the window frame I turned on the heater for almost an hour while I took Billy for a walk which seemed excessive but I wanted to give the wood the best chance to dry out. What did impress me hugely was the fact that Mt shed retained that heat all day, so […]

Windows and flaws

After storm Babet battered Britain it also battered me shed too, which unfortunately meant the window frames filled with water. I knew I needed to run sealer around the frame I even bought it but was going to do it this weekend hopefully it won’t have too big of an effect longterm

Holidays are coming….

Tonight I finished work for a week of much needed rest and just a break from being switched on all the time for people who wouldn’t care if I died! To spend a week pottering would be bliss, to spend some of it working on me shed even better. The kids are off Jamie is […]

Struggles and options

Both Reagan and Lincoln are doing well at school, yet both find it a struggle to navigate the miriad of obstacles that they face growing up. Big School is tough, and Reagan sat tonight and talked through her options and choices she has to make for her GCSEs with us at the dinner table.While Lincoln […]

International rules

I have played pool every Wednesday for nigh on 40 years and seen the highs and the many lows, I have always enjoyed playing but when you’re at the top it can become so competitive you forget to enjoy it? We are no longer at the top and actually sit at the bottom of the […]

Broken

Having chosen not to go in the ambulance last night, we hoped to steal a march on the minor injuries queue by getting to hospital before 9am and getting sorted quickly. Little did we know that after 7 hours in the system we would be examined and discharged in a busy waiting room in front […]
