Let me guess, your good intentions of keeping those Easter eggs ‘safe’ for the children so they don’t eat them all at once, have ended in sabotage and you have secretly indulged in more chocolate than you care (or dare) to remember...Not only that, there are screwed up sweet wrappers beneath every cushion, sofa and child’s bed that exists in your home.   Your chocolate hangover is so powerful that you can barely muster the strength, nor will, to do anything in particular as your once effective diet and fitness regime fades into a distant memory in your fuzzy, wuzzy ‘chocolated’ brain. ..

When you decide to revamp a child’s room, it can seem like an overwhelming task. After weeks of building yourself up to getting started, you gingerly open the door with the best intentions but having cast your eye over the mountainous mess, promptly close it again. Aaaaand breathe!   Children seem to accumulate so many useless things, so many small things and so many things that don’t seem to belong anywhere in particular. The latter usually reside in a pile in the corner, get crammed under the bed, or stuffed in a drawer and forgotten about forever! Bouncy balls, slinkies, paint-you..

Over the past few weeks I have been particularly irked by the amount of people pre-empting the end of summer. “I can’t believe the holidays are almost over, where has the time gone?” they all cry.
