The Undomestic Goddess: It's a wrap!

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/12/its-wrap.html

Tuesday, 11 December 2007. I am sure I am not alone in that I am the sole wrapper in the household. Admittedly J would help (and he does wrap my presents! But (a) he isn't very good at it, (b) he doesn't like doing it and (c) he is rarely here when the children aren't (and due to O's habit of suddenly getting up for no reason when not expected it is hard to do it at night! So today's objective was to rap the rest of the gifts - and with a little bit of organisation I had it all done in 2 hours!

The Undomestic Goddess: Soups and Cake!

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/11/soups-and-cake.html

Saturday, 24 November 2007. J is on a diet. He went to see the doctor this week as he needed a new prescription for his asthma drugs. She commented that he could do with losing some weight. He isn't fat per se but he probably could do with losing a bit. He will never be a skinny minny - he hasn't got the frame for it! They are easy to make and fairly good on the calorie front (especially if I don't add cream! Tonight it is going to be a veggie and bean broth - no recipe just a bit of chuck in and see!

The Undomestic Goddess: Soup update!

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/12/soup-update.html

Sunday, 2 December 2007. Well so far this week we have had:. Carrot and coriander soup. Tomato and pasta soup. As our scales are useless he hasn't weighed himself yet so no idea if it is actually working! He is trying to calorie count but I still see him nicking the odd biscuit! He is out running at the moment - he has decided to try to do next year's marathon! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Then again I do hate housework(ironing - what's that! View my complete profile. Getting ready for Christmas!

The Undomestic Goddess: What a week!

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2009/02/what-week.html

Sunday, 1 February 2009. As I can hear the wind blowing outside again, it reminded me to wite about the last week! Last weekend, the south west had a big storm - power was lost to many many households, ours included. It eventually came back on 60h later. In the meantime, school was cancelled (they didn't have power either! Thankfully a dear friend took the children as my ILs didn't have any power either. We ended up sleeping at our friends (though the power did come back late Monday evening). Hope F is f...

The Undomestic Goddess: Flying high!

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2009/02/flying-high.html

Monday, 2 February 2009. I was working out of a different office this morning which necessitated me taking a completely different route than normal! This being Toulouse and the very fact I was skirting the airport I shouldn't have been surprised by what I saw but somehow I was. It was the A380 - something I see daily as it lands at the airport (my office is at one end of the runway! It is just a shame that I will never fly on it! Believe me it does with ease!

The Undomestic Goddess: Puzzles

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/11/puzzles.html

Monday, 12 November 2007. O is a demon jigsaw puzzler - has been since he was about 18m old. He seems to have an eye for the right shape. F, on the other hand, had never seemed bothered. She was always more interested in throwing the jigsaw pieces all over the play. Until last week that is! For her birthday she got three Dora puzzles. Have I ever said how obsessed she is by Dora. The really funny thing is though that she is not that bothered about watching her! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Undomestic Goddess: Hot bottoms and bubbles

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2009/03/hot-bottoms-and-bubbles.html

Tuesday, 17 March 2009. Hot bottoms and bubbles. The weekend away was great! We ended up in a 5 star hotel in Austria! The first night we had an 8 course meal - I have never had an eight course meal before. By course six I was stuffed and could barely manage more than a bite of the two desserts! I learnt from that and on the second night paced myself for the seven course meal! Couldn't miss dessert two nights running could I? But best of all were the heated seats - nice warm bottom by the time you got to...

The Undomestic Goddess: Letter to father Christmas

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/11/letter-to-father-christmas.html

Saturday, 10 November 2007. Letter to father Christmas. Christmas has to be O's favourite time of the year - he just loves all aspects of it - from the reason why there is Christmas to the decorations to the gift giving and receiving and best of all - to Father Christmas. J and I figure this may be the last year he actually believes in F.C. Last night he decided that he really did have to write his letter to father christmas. The list thankfully was not that long! I addressed the envelope to:.

The Undomestic Goddess: The first report

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2008/02/first-report.html

Tuesday, 5 February 2008. F got her first school report this past weekend! We totally didn't expect it! She is doing just fine - this last term she has really settled in and integrated! It helps that now she totally understands French and is also speaking it! There were a few areas she could improve on - such as her listening to ALL the instructions but overall we were really pleased! I hope you enjoy. The address is http:/ mouse-e-teclado.blogspot.com.

The Undomestic Goddess: Reading

http://theundomesticgoddess.blogspot.com/2007/11/reading.html

Thursday, 22 November 2007. I have already mentioned that O's reading has come on so quickly - and daily I am staggered by how much he has progressed. Over the weekend he actually read a book (albeit it a very short one! And tonight he went through his homework so quickly - it seems to becoming more and more instinctive! I also went out and bought crackers today - Trauffault the garden centre sells them. Christmas isn't Christmas without them! WTG O, what a star! It's so exciting when they learn to read.
