Happy six week blogiversary to me

Looking back now, it’s hard to understand why I didn’t. Before this blog, I had a Tinker … Continue reading →

If you have read this blog before or follow my social media, you will probably already know that Monday was Nathan's graduation.  As Proud Mummy Moments go, graduation is definitely right up there. I thought I might actually burst with pride! He is the third of my children to graduate and I have to admit, … Continue reading →

This week there has been a lot to make me happy. Here are a few highlights in no particular order. It's half term! And not just for the kids, both me and Mr Totsy work in a school so we are on half term too. It's been a very busy term work wise, with not … Continue reading →

An unexpected side-effect of blogging

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Since I started this blog I have begun to realise that my usual quick snapshots aren't really up to scratch. When I started this blog I didn't think it mattered that my photos are usually a bit rubbish and I thought I would be unapologetic about my blurry snaps. But so many other blogs have … Continue reading →

Are we nearly there yet?

It is currently half term (yay!) and as it was Nathan's graduation in Chichester today (so any excuse for a holiday) we are spending a few days in Littlehampton where we arrived yesterday. Travelling with kids is never great, but in our Citroen Picasso we usually manage ok, it fits everything in brilliantly (even all … Continue reading →

So have I lost any weight yet?

If you’ve read this blog before, you will probably know that since the start of October I have been on a bit of a health kick trying to lose weight and be a bit healthier.

The school disco and the joys of an over tired child

Posted on October 12, 2016 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

Once your child starts school, you will immediately realise that there is a huge amount of admin that comes with having a school child. It is almost a full time job. Every day there will be a handful of letters requiring your attention some just for information, some with forms to fill in and there … Continue reading →

The no-chocolate month

Posted on October 11, 2016 by Tinker and Totsy • Leave a comment

I gave up chocolate on the first of October, so as this is the 11th day completely chocolate-free (well, except for a piece of cake on Matty and Nathan’s birthday, but that doesn’t count, right? Because a) it was just cake, not actually a piece of chocolate and b) everyone knows birthday cake is calorie free … Continue reading →
