So, Christmas 2018 has been and gone. I’m happy to report that we’ve all had a good one, even R. To be honest Christmas does bring lots of going out, interacting with people, and breaks to routine. These can be tricky for lots of people, especially when mental health issues are around, but although I …
We were sat yesterday evening having another present wrapping session, this time it was a bunch for X as we’ve already finished all the ones we need to take to other people. I’m actually the main wrapper in the house, B only wraps the ones for me. This is basically because I am a good …
This week was the week of X’s school nativity, it was all of his year (Reception) plus years 1 and 2. Collectively, years 1 and 2 are apparently now known as “Key Stage One”, I’m feeling myself sounding old at times like this when I say “Oh, you mean infants?”. To be completely honest, I’ve …
Finally got around to building my Fire Station. The set includes the Fire Station itself plus the vintage looking firetruck, quite a large Christmas tree (Biggest I’ve had in a set), a bench and an ice-rink. All in all it’s a very nice looking set when it’s all done. Quite a good build too, love …
B wasn’t too good on Friday, she rang me at work at about 10:30 and I ended up going home because she needed some extra support. I’d just emailed the office to tell them about the sweets and biscuits I’d brought in for everyone, so sadly had to leave them there! ( When I did …
A few nights ago X had another naughty spell before bed, which isn’t too unusual. The outcome of this was a “Right, no stories then you can go straight to bed” from both of us. He finally got into bed and asked for a story, I’d said night night to him and gone downstairs and …
B and I have always loved Christmas! B actually finds searching for and buying presents for people quite exciting and nowadays she can simply do it all online so doesn’t have to worry about anxiety regarding going shopping. So, we’re always keen to put up our decorations as early as possible. However, because we like …
This afternoon B and I were trying to get some present buying done… for each other. I’d done my pop to the shop during the morning but needed to get some online ordering done. B had gone upstairs to order some bits for me, and I was downstairs watching X and buying some bits on …
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to accompany a 4 year old and someone with anxiety to a (probably packed) Christmas Fayre… Cue music! The school Christmas Fayre has been looming for a while to be honest. Sometimes B has been keen on going, sometimes she’s said she wont be able to …
I managed to get the Limited Edition Lego Present this year that you can see above, featuring ourselves obviously. This year I’ve also again got the Lego City Advent Calendar and I’ve decided to blog each day’s build on the evening of that day. I’m not sure if I’ll add them to this post, or …
