Hi, I am a mum of twin identical girls aged 6 years and two boys aged 13 and 17 years. I live in a small market town called Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.I am really enjoying the challenges of being a mum to twins, however it hasn't been easy and I am still learning how to juggle my four children (not literally) in order to meet their needs as well maintain my own sanity!

Charity shop bargains
I love charity shops and had a good rummage around a couple this morning. There seems to be loads of stuff in stock, maybe due to the snow or everyone having a good clearout before Christmas. I bought Scoobydoo video,…
Freezing! Labradoodles
We called someone else out to solve the boiler problem which we thought he had, but no. It now won’t light at all at least before we could restart the pilot light and it would keep going for a couple…

No heating, no hot water! Only one electric fire and payed £80.00 for the privilige.Response from boiler mans wife : “boil kettles and pans of water like everyone else does.”Yes but, our heating was working perfectly well until we made…
Oucchh! almost ..
We had our boiler serviced today and we almost had a huge bill. A red light was flashing apparently which didn’t bode well according to the boiler man. It makes me wonder what he was going to actually do before…
