AND my parents are staying in a hotel found the corner (seen them 3 times in 7 years) this weekend. The smallest boy goes on his first residential on Monday. First time he’s been away from home.
I think my HR is averaging 99 #thankyouapplewatch

H is in Bahrain on an OPTOUR for 6 months. This was a surprise posting with just 6 weeks notice.
He’s been gone 3 days. So far 1 girl has smashed her phone screen and the 1 (we have 2, it’s an insane plumbing nightmare) has packed up. #rnlife #typicalreally

Do your children know how to hold a phone? Just asked the 13 and 12 year old and they just hold it in front of their face or a million miles away from their ear! #speakerphone #facetime #textgeneration

@RoyalMailHelp So in terms of receiving a fine that we had to pay twice the amount for, because we did not receive the letter, that’s just tough?

[Vikki @Maternity_8]

@RoyalMailHelp We’ve had 2 mail deliveries in a month. It’s getting ridiculous. We had a parking fine that escalated unbeknownst to us, 2 missed birthdays and now an important hospital letter that’s not arrived. No notice, no apology.

Collecting son 4, he’s been staying with my brother and sis in law helping them to move house in Cornwall. I’ve missed him and can’t wait to see his face.

@icod Lemon curd and buttercream. Easy to make, takes 10 mins. Or buy it.

McDonald’s have sent me an email telling me how to make their sausage and egg McMuffin. I’m considering it. #McDonalds

@LenLenington @RemusLapin @noddynoo They looks fabulous!

It’s making me twitch massively. They are making a bloody mess. #homeschooling #baking

[Vikki @Maternity_8]

The kids are baking for home school today. So far the 8 and 11 year old have made scones. The 17 year old is making a cake and frosting to squish in to cake pops. The 12 and 15 yr old are making candy apples #homeschool #coronaviruslockdown #bakingeverything

After dinner fun.

[Vikki @Maternity_8]

BBQ this evening. Looks vast, and it really is. But when feeding 11 people, notsomuch. H and I barely keeping on top of all the cooking with all 8 home. #BBQ #Llockdown #feedingthe5000

Yesterday I baked a ginger loaf cake, not a banana one. I felt like a rebel.
It’s gluten free and is a bit odd #coeliac #baking #gingernotbanana
