Hi All
Have had a pretty non eventful week the kids have been at each others throats (nothing out the ordinary there) so have been acting as referee most of the week.
On the upside though I walked in to a conversation between my seven and three year old were the seven year old was saying to her younger sister
“Well done you have completed the top line that means you have been really good”
I asked what they were doing and the seven year old said “I have made her a sticker chart because she keeps being naughty and I want her to behave”
I thought this was funny and sweet then later wondered if I had been going a little OTT with the sticker charts.
Oh and I have been trying out giving my son a bit more responsibility which I’m finding difficult (it’s not easy letting go) but it mean’s that I have more time to do other things like putting my feet up!!

My first blog!
Hello my name is Sally and I’m a single parent with 4 children.
I have a boy who’s the eldest at 11 and three girls at 9, 7, and 3 years of age. This keeps me rather busy, but I like to keep active and I love a challenge!
It’s important to me to stay in contact with my friends and family. So I try to see them all regularly. I would love to travel but with 4 kids it’s too expensive so I have to stay close to home (UK only)!
I get titbits from those that do go places and dream and plan for my future travels! I reckon I have about another 7 years to wait!!! Ye…. ha…! By then my son will be old enough to baby-sit!
I’m an avid reader and will read most things. I like to share my experiences of parenting and life in general.
I do quite a bit of voluntary work that has helped me in a lot of ways. It’s given me adult conversation and a bit of time away from the kids so, especially when they were little, I could recharge my batteries!
I have also gained several qualifications and tons of experience whilst volunteering as I am able to be flexible, it fits in with my kids and school but the main thing that I have gotten from volunteering is confidence!
Join me next week when I will let you in on some of our weekly antics and goings on!
