Well how useless did I feel last Wednesday? Our 12 year old daughter went missing and was not answering her phone. She was supposed to   be meeting her dad when her brother finished football. massive panic. Her dad had to get another lad home so it meant leaving their meeting place.

Had she been run over or abducted, did I need to report her … Continue reading Missing

We therefore went to the travel agent to sort the kids insurance for Spain and our ai8rport parking. Exciting. In about five weeks, the kids are going to Spain to visit their gran and we are flying to Malta then cruising to venice, Scicily and Croatia. … Continue reading A productive weekend sort of!

I am a married mum of two. I married my husband in April 2003, we had our daughter in 2004 and our son in 2008. Our daughter has always been the drama queen and our son the sports fanatic.

We enjoy traveling around Europe as a family and have visited many European countries. Life is tough but we have got each other and a smile. You just keep going. You have no choice! … Continue reading A bit about my family.
