apologies for absence

I'm not entirely sure what I've been doing that makes it so difficult to write at the moment. Probably just that the laptop is snaffled up by the kids for DVD watching/music vid playing at every available opportunity.

I would write something now, but I am far, far too busy creating invitations for Son's 'magic' party next weekend. And tomorrow I am going to be busy finding a star-shaped cake tin. And I will probably spend the whole of next week wrapping the pass-the-blooming-parcel.

Will write more tomorrow, after exciting night of Coronation Street with the wayward teachers xx
