New kids on the blog!

I have no idea why I have started this. Very little of note happens around here. We are a large family in an ordinary-sized house. Some of us need more room than others. The Football Fanatic invariably feels that younger members of the household encroach on her personal space. Shouts of "Mum, get these kids out of my face" often ensue. The Singer mainly feels victimised and is prone to leaving a room with a toss of the head and a slamming of a door. It is not wise, in my experience, to get on the wrong side of The Fixer - she commandeers every battery in the house to use as currency and you never know when you might need one. The Peacemaker is usually a happy little soul but has been known to sulk when things don't go her way. As for The Noise, well she has no concept of privacy, barriers or personal space, and rampages through the house leaving a trail of destruction and devastation behind her.

And is there a man of the house to offset all these females I hear you ask? Sadly, the Father of this Lot and I are currently estranged. It's one of those can't live with each other, can't live without each other situations. Some days we're like this:

But a lot of days we're like this:

(Except he never wears a suit and I don't have a pink apron. And he doesn't usually eat with us. And that table wouldn't fit us all round it.....)

But I digress. It's a new year and I have lurked on other people's blogs for long enough. I hope this foray into the world of blogging will be the start of something good! Publish and be damned!
