Blogging about the day to day funnies that make up the UKSaffa day.

The wardrobe spring clean

-

I'm not going to do a catch up post. Suffice to say I had a beautiful baby girl 2 months ago. She's awesome, family is doing well. We rock. You are now up to date. I took the opportunity today to throw out some clothes and generally work through the chaos that

The morning tea contest

-

I love Sunday mornings. While most of my friends are languishing in hangover hell with the exceptional few hitting the gym or going for their morning jogging sessions, my hubby and I are usually having a half asleep squabble revolving around who is going to make the morning tea. This

The chatterbox

-

I woke up the other day realising that with 12 weeks to go until our new baby enters the world, I've done a grand total of nothing to prepare. I have 3 packs of nappies, 2 packs of botty wipes and a cute lil baby grow from my friend in

The little moments

-

This morning I had a moment. It is the boy's last day ever in Primary School and man was I excited.... 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's your last ever day at primary school!!' I squeaked while ignoring the grumpy mutterings coming from the bed, which I chose to ignore but think it was something along

The first date

-

4 months has gone by very fast since I last posted to this blog. I keep intending to blog on the move but being 'on the move' means I'm constantly fighting with lost signal and that means that my inspired instapost just doesn't quite make it. They say that time flies when

The early bird catches the worm

-

"I am sorry to have to tell you that your son has done something awful again today. He put a worm on a girl's hair. He also then sucked a worm...." Oh man this just cracked me up! After reading a tense email telling me in no uncertain terms to

The first trip home

-

With all the stress and stupidity that I've had to deal with lately I have totally forgotten to mention that the boys and I are jetting over to Cape Town. Oh happy days! I don't really know what to expect. It's been four years, there is some random stadium being built,

The worry wart

-

Sometimes when things start going wrong, I tend to get my motherly knickers in one massive knot. I'll almost always end up feeling like I should have done something better, quicker or sooner. It's that horrible thing called responsibility, and the sickening feeling that you've let the most important people

The little love letter to my son

-

Hi Jim, You know, I don't remember having such a tough time at your age but then again my memory is generally rubbish and I was always a bit of a wuss with a gift for avoiding anything that even whiffed of conflict. It was my way and it was a

The bully teacher

-

It recently occurred to this once high-school misfit that teachers aren't the big scary people that they once were. What an awesome revelation, and another step towards me becoming a grown-up. I often get the impression that Jimmy is quite a challenge for teachers. You may have picked this up in

Smells like pre-teen spirit

-

Love, sorrow and getting your groove on... in retrospect it was the best way to handle a slew of bad days. If only it was me teaching the boy that and not him teaching me, then it would be perfect parenting. Love... It all began when he decided one morning to rush

Classified mission: authorised personnel only

-

It's just occurred to me that listening to the Propellerheads version of a James Bond theme tune is a rocking way to go to work in London.   Marching with purpose to my theme tune this morning ensured that I remembered that I was on a very important mission. The fate of

Here there be snow monsters

-

There will be a couple of inches of snow in London today. Expect delays. Uh huh, ok I believe you this time, mainly because I walked to the station with 2 inches of snow on my head! This morning we woke up and Big Daddy decided this would be the morning to
