I took delivery the other day of a pair of very swish black SKS P45 mudguards. These mudguards will fit tyre widths 32-37mm. The tyres of the Dew Drop are 37mm so this allows me to put some thinner tyres for the summer commute.I have read on various forums and websites that installing these on …

Another Saturday Morning
Here I am 8:41am Saturday morning. Jake is with me in the lounge playing Lego star Wars(yes still). Amy and baby Mia are asleep upstairs. Mia was an absolute poppet last night. She woke every 2 hours for a feed and went back sleep most times without any complaint.
Cheeky Wipes
I have been using my own home brewed baby wipe solution combined with cut up pieces of muslin. This has been great although limited to use at home. So I wondered if there was a kit out there that could be used at home and out and about.To this end we have invested in a …
Tired!!
Back home after dropping Jake off at school. Last night was okay. The usual three feeds. One at 12am, one at 3am and one at 5am. Jake decided to wake at 6am this morning which was less than ideal. He got dressed(well I dressed him) but he still earned his star. After breakfast he had …
2 weeks old
It has been great spending time with the new addition to the family. Today we took a trip to Bluewater. Mia was a delight and slept the whole way and all the time we were then and all the way back home! This evening she has been a little restless with a bubbly tummy. I …
1 week old
Baby Mia is now officially one week old. She has been feeding well and sleeping like a dream. Her cord stump came off a few days ago an has been bleeding slightly. The midwife advised washing with cool boiled water which I must do tomorrow during her nappy change.
Mia 6 days old
I have to say, Mia is an absolute PERFECT baby. She feeds until full then sleeps. She does not need to be rocked or cajoled into the latter. She simply drifts off. A few minutes ago I was holding her and she was looking at me. Suddenly she gave me a big smile. Okay, I …
Jake meets Mia – 1 day old
Jake met Mia yesterday for the first time! He was so excited and immediately climbed onto the bed to give her a big cuddle. He then very gently stroked her head and gave her a little kiss on top of her head. It was the sweetest thing to watch.Later Mia had her first bath and …
It is time
Amy started contractions at around 10pm while being monitored at the hospital. We had gone in to talk about inducing but the friendly mid-wives set about getting her ready for inducing. Had to wait an age before a less than sympathetic consultant told us off for suggesting that the hospital had got the dates wrong(they …
Back at the hospital, 12 days overdue
Back again to have baby monitored. We arrived at 12pm at had to wait an hour before the whole monitoring farce began. First the sensor would not work properly and kept cutting out, then the paper got jammed in the machine. The sensor that was supposed to be monitoring the uterus simply wasn’t working. The …
