Salad Days......


'Do you know what Mummy?.......' said the 6yo

'What lovely?'

'....................I think someone's been nicking my chocolate.' He didn't look up, (so clearly I wasn't a suspect in the investigation,) instead he concentrated on peeling away the tricky foil wrapping from yet another Cadbury's Creme Egg...... a skill I have mastered over the past weeks...

'Gosh,' said I in a whisper. 'Must be Daddy.'

My diet really need some normality to flourish. I can't take these half-hearted weeks any more. I need children and husband out of the house 5 out of 7 days and the chocolate to have run out...... Oh yes and there might need to be rain too as the cook outs in the field are scrummy but dangerously more-ish. S'moor anyone?

Ah well, maybe an hour with yea olde mattock will do the trick.... so, off down the field to earth up. (See, I know ALL the phrases nowadays....)

  1. I need normality to flourish here and for the chocolate to run out too. Enjoy the earthing up!

  2. There's way too much chocolate in this house at the moment. Jnr is on a permanent high, and Mommy is plowing through it like a termite on steroids. Pass the mattock

    Legend in his own lunchtime: Our choc is all gone now, phew! The horrible Haribos still lurk (do you have them there?) but I don't bother with them; like eating plimsoles.... (I imagine, having not actually done that.)

    Kids will soon learn that whatever the easter bunny gives, the easter bunny can take away, too... it's not his fault, look at the size of those two sweet front teeth! ;-)
