you only live once

yesterday it was mother's day in this country. the kids were very excited. mummy, you're not allowed to look under my bed, because it's a secret! mummy, tomorrow it's mother's day so we have to bring you food on a tray - because that's what people do on mother's day, they eat food in bed!

mummy, is daddy going to be here?

no.

(He Who Moved Out Five Months Ago is off travelling for a month)

two very concerned little faces.

'but what about the presents?'

well......... you could make me something........

two very determined little faces.

'no, we have to go to the shop to get them'

so we agreed i would take them to the jewellery shop, hand them my credit card, and wait outside for each of them to select & come out with a beautifully gift-wrapped little parcel.

now the kids were really excited! mummy, if you hadn't had to drive us, we could have done it all by ourselves!

lovely beaming  little faces.

nice jewellery too!

everybody happy...
