Over the past week, we’ve noticed Mrs Levee getting bigger. It’s pretty comical because she’s lost such a drastic amount of weight from being sick, her trousers are actually hanging off her! People who don’t know [she's pregnant] have been commenting on how thin she looks. “How did you lose all that weight so quickly?”, […]
Got vomitted on today, right in the middle of Tesco’s, by the ever-adorable Jay. Completely without warning, he opened up and retched watery sick over me until I was left standing in a puddle in the bread aisle. My thanks to all the other shoppers who didn’t bother to help me, but felt it was […]
It’s surprising, isn’t it? There are truckloads of books, TV shows, websites, et cetera, et cetera about finding love, having great sex, then how to have affairs and end your relationship (how to split your possessions, blah blah).

Little Jay had a hearing […]
Composter is filling up slowly but surely! We’ve got a little kitchen bin (airtight) which we fill up during the week with peelings and bits of kitchen scraps. At the weekend, we take it out to the composter. Thankfully, the kids are great fruit eaters, so there’s always banana skins, apple cores et al. In […]
