Its the final prompt of the terrific and mightily popular Do Something Yummy (99 posts, 110,000 tweeters reached, last week alone, don'cha know) and this weeks prompt is "Survival".
So, this was a toughy for me- I'm extremely lucky and have never had cancer- neither have my kids,or my partner. That's why mine is a bit of a round the houses write up via the prompt.
Half term is here again- I swear the kids these days get far more holiday time than we ever did- and in the weather we're having, it can be hard to find something to keep the kids amused.
For this weeks Do Something Yummy prompt, we've been asked to report back on what we're up to this week, and how we cope with the kids on holiday.
Even though it's only Tuesday, The Bratlings are bored already, so I already have some activities lined up for them.
It's week 2 over at Nickie's Do Something Yummy for CLIC Sargent writing prompts (more at http://www.yummymummy.org.uk) and this week its about your family when you were growing up.
Now, this is a bit of a dark area for me, so apologies for the post if it gets a bit maudlin. I've decided to employ the "stream of consciousness" approach. Here goes.
Magnets On The Fridge
When I was a kid, I always thought that the Ramsey's and Robinson's in Neighbours were happy families with pools and constant neighbour filled barbecues for one simple reason. They had magnets on their fridges.
We didn't have magnets on our fridge.
I'm throwing my blogging ways behind CLIC Sargent's Yummy Mummy Week (which is on between the 10th and 18th March, and which you can find out more about at Typecast and at http://www.yummymummy.org.uk/), by writing as per prompts on various subjects.
This weeks subject is "What Your Children Mean to You" so, here goes:
