Halloween flashback
A childhood encounter with Chucky left me traumatised, terrified of dolls and occasionally threatening to piss on imaginary attackers. Thirty-five years later, my brother is still finding new ways to make my life miserable.
Life
Low power mode
With baby number three just weeks away, Mrs OddFather seems to be gaining energy by the day, while I’m struggling to get above 50%.
The Dream House
A crowded train, a territorial armrest and a situation so devastating it leaves me sobbing.
From Engine Covers to SUVs
Baby number three is on the way, which apparently means our perfectly adequate family car is no longer adequate. Cue weeks of SUV research, child-seat Tetris and one very nostalgic reminder of how I travelled around as a kid.
Mundane Monday
A sore neck, a sleepless night, a poorly OddSon and a Monday morning dash through the park in my pyjamas. Just another perfectly ordinary day in the OddFather household.
I’m Getting Fat
I love a kebab. I love chocolate. I love crisps. What I apparently don’t love is having any self-control. So I’m trying to break my junk-food habit one small step at a time.
The OddFamily does Cornwall
A family trip to Cornwall featuring the Eden Project, a forgotten booking, imaginary cookies, kite-flying and more chaos than planned.
I Went to a Spa. I Have No Idea Why
A solo spa night was supposed to leave me feeling refreshed. Instead, I spent most of it wondering what the hell I was supposed to be doing.
The OddFamily does Greece… Again
We went to Greece just a couple of months ago, so naturally we decided to go again. This time it was Rhodes, with the wider family in tow. What could possibly go wrong?
