Day 109 Tuesday 30th March 2010

I know, I know I am way behind with the blog but with good reason(s).

Not that I want to get into the habit of making excuses but I have had an extremely stressful week, that said it has been good spending time with the kids whilst Martin was away in Runcorn (which is code for New York).

So where to start, I was in Scotland for a few days at Steph's birthday party, followed by the road trip from hell, note to self do not sit at the back of the coach next to the bathroom RISK smelly bathroom every time door opens....REWARD more leg room, it's a tough one!

So Steph came back down to London with me to help take care of the kids, which was nice we done some shopping, some sight seeing, British Music Experience at the O2, found a Roller Disco (best thing ever and we haven't gone to it yet) and hopped on and off the tube too many times to remember.

So with the "good" stuff out of the way we also had murder, measles and mayhem!

Then Martin came home and we are back to normal, that is, until the madness begins again as he is off to Abu Dhabi next week!


On the way home from work last night I was off in a world of my own and got to think of the nice Ikea message on our Oyster card wallets. Home is the most important place in the world, and home is where my boys are!

love Claire

thursday 25th march

The only thi worse than thinking your kid has measles is realising you've not been immunised yourself and your hubby is 3000 miles away.


still got a rash, still clingy will keep you posted!

Day 102 Wednesday 24th March 2010

So Martin finally arrived at my cousins, kids are missing him but keeping them very busy!

Have finally sold the cross trainer - downsizing is tough - what to keep, what to sell, what to throw away.

We have a lot of things belonging to Martins late grandmother which naturally we wouldn't get rid of bur I also have nowhere to put it. and I hate to have them just in storage I'm sure she'd want them out being used.

I think I'll learn german, she has handwritten recipe books, from her mother and grandmother and these are the kind of things that martin would want to pass down.

anyway its covent garden today - love this place it's like a little village in London

Day 99 Sunday 21st March 2010

What a day!!

Road trip...not exactly! coach trip back to London, 2 suitcases, 2 tripod bags full of light stands, 1 kiddie backpack, 1 three year old, 1 29 and 13months old (Steph not quite adjusting to the big 30).

It can mean only one thing....does anyone have any painkillers, of the 9 hour journey Corran slept for about 20 minutes or so and talked for the rest of the time, wondering if Steph is reconsidering her decision to come visit us now.

So after a 9 hour coach trip we were faced with the lovely engineering works that always guaranteed to affect the line that you need, and always when you've had a long day and need a break.

Will post again tomorrow when my energy is restored.
