At 30,000ft halfway across the Atlantic ocean, we have just been served beef stroganoff that was palatable…just, the piece of bread it came with wasn’t. The seats are adequate to sit and read as I did for a while and even managed to snooze for an hour but trying to eat with your elbows never […]
With work and school finished, we finalised our packing and tried to settle down and get some sleep before an early start to take the animals to pet prison. We will be fine but I feel nervous I had a bath and that calmed me a little but I just need to sleep so we […]
All day, I knew I would have to face all the people in the meeting who have made me feel worthless unheard and a dead man walking. All day I felt this tension inside me. I felt hungry even though I had a big breakfast, my breathing was erratic, I felt moments from tears and […]
Well, after yesterday’s shopping for bits and a failure to pack anything today, we got the packing done even though we still have 2 days to go. It means most of the clothes are in but there’s lots of stuff we still need going to have to be packed on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. […]

Reagan lost her PE kit earlier in the year, which Mommy replaced only for her to say last week she can not find her new PE kit, which this time also containing her trainers, which cost £50+ but in true Reagan fashion it’s not her fault, she’s looked everywhere someone MUST have stolen them! She […]
Jamie worked till 8 tonight but still found time to cook herself and the kids some tea leaving me lots of time once I’d finished work and taken Billy, so I had an hour in me shed playing darts. A great way to unwind and forget about the 2 hour meeting I had to finish […]
Tonight, I tried to explain what time it will be at each stage of our journey, and it got confusing, so I I had to write it down. Basically we leave Manchester at 14:30GMT and arrive in Denver 06:04GMT but we have booked a hotel next to the airport so hopefully we can stay awake […]
