About Me

My photo
My name is Jo and I am a single parent. I have two young boys aged 4 and 3. I'm starting this blog in order to keep myself sane and to share my experiences as a single parent. My oldest son is called Charles but is very rarely called that, he is usually referred to as Charlie or Bobbins. He is very long sighted and needs to wear glasses all the time - when he has not broken them of course. My other son is called Leo, but is known as The Bean. He has a mild case of Spina Bifida and also has hydrocephalus, not that you would know that to look at him. My intention is to take a picture every day for a year and to write a little about it. The say that a picture is worth a thousand words and each picture will hopefully represent that day.

Teatime Treats

I love hot buttered crumpets. They are one of my favourite comfort foods. I like mine quite well done so they are crisp on top and underneath but lovely and soft inside. The butter melts into them and soaks into the soft spongey interior. So very naughty but so very nice. Crumpets vary from 1 to 1.5 pts each and are very filling. I weigh myself a point or two of half fat butter and share it between my crumpets. This way I can keep the points value down whilst enjoying a treat. This is another meal my whole family can enjoy as my boys and my husband all love crumpets. It is the perfect Sunday teatime food especially when it's cold and dark outside.
