Parenthood riddle: • G has 5 white school shirts [clean one every day etc.] • G has attended every day this week and has returned wearing said shirts So WHY can I only find* 4 to wash?! 🧺 *4 in basket - well trained(!) - 0 on bedroom floor or randomly discarded #saturday

Dante’s Peak is an underrated film. But then I’m a geography geek 🤓🌋

Well that was a fun Wikipedia rabbithole… Why is Iceland abbreviated to ‘ISL’ rather than ‘ICE’? #SUIvsISL #WomensEuro2025 The short answer is: ‘Ísland’ is Iceland’s official name. Makes sense 🇮🇸 #Sunday #whoknew

And E is off! Byeeeeeeeee The Acorns School have fun! 🤩 5 days of freedom for me… oh wait, I still have the other three(!) #Monday

Smashed Year 7! I’m so #proud of G! Excellence in Science 🤩

Not a bad #Saturday: ✅ 12km stroll around Caerwys ✅ water fight with nephew ✅ curry

Thunder! YES! ⛈️ I am a happy girl. Love a #thunderstorm #Sunday

Day 1 of the #summerholidays: • uniform shop part i • Edgar’s Field • reminded why I hate Primark #Monday

Day 2 of the #summerholidays and I think I will need a holiday to recover from the logistics of said-holiday 🤣 Trips in the UK require military-level organisation! Packing for five for just about every weather variation is a nightmare. #Tuesday

Do you think my pre-teen is growing?! He went to bed at 9:30pm and he is still asleep at 11:30am 😴 And no, he does not have his phone with him. I’m quietly impressed! 🤣 #Thursday #summerholidays

Day 7 and Lancashire is proving to be dreadful. As you can see. #summerholidays #Sunday #sunset

A jaunt to the dark side (Yorkshire) to walk children and grandparents! #Monday #summerholidays

Day 9: Auntie Fi and the #Yoto to the rescue 👌🏻 Nephew tucked up and snoring (eventually!) listening to What The Ladybird Heard. I’ll forever recommend because reading eleventy-billion stories at #bedtime after a long day is not it 😅 #Tuesday #relatable #summerholidays

Day 12: National Trustin’ (Darcy wasn’t in) 👎🏻 National Trust #Lyme #Friday #SummerHolidays

Day 15 of the #summerholidays and waking up to yellow and amber weather warnings and advice against unnecessary travel, was not ideal 🤦🏼‍♀️ #StormFloris #Monday

Day 16 and I’m sipping peach and passion fruit sparkling water like it’s champagne. An extremely stressful 3 days; it may be the #summerholidays but it’s still a #Tuesday 🥂🙈

Day 19 and plaster dust is the new dry shampoo 🤦🏼‍♀️ What started as a “small refresh” has inevitably spiralled into a much bigger task. #Friday #summerholidays #decorating

Day 26: ✅ swimming ✅ tested children’s tolerance for heights ✅ expensive ice cream ✅ pirate narrowboat #summerholidays #Friday

Day 29 and #HappyBirthday to L! Celebrating 6 years of frankly, her ruling the roost! To the world she is a happy and precocious chatterbox; to me she is the reason I found the courage and strength I didn’t know I had 🖤 #Monday #summerholidays

Day 32 and the slightly unsettling realisation that you might have to brave Cheshire Oaks in the #summerholidays 😱 #Thursday #help
