I Promise

21. June 2007

Last night I saw a softer side to Mr B, and I don’t mean he rolled over in bed and flashed his butt at me.
No, I saw a sensitivity that I sometimes forget is there.
I do him a disservice in this.
He is a gorgeous bloke, a fantastic daddy and a loving and supportive partner.
Other people don’t always see [...]

Sleeping with Rocky

Last night a miracle occurred in la maison de Beaufoix.
It is something that might just change our lives forever.
No, we didn’t inherit copious anounts of money from an obscure relative who had been living in East Anglia, liked knitting tortoise shaped handbags, and went by the name of Barry.
No, we didn’t win the lottery, pools, or even a [...]

Ahh sometimes you just gotta laugh.
News 24 has reported today on the collapse of a road in County Durham due to a flood.
Ok, not funny in itself I know, but wait till you hear what caused the flood which lead to the collapse, and £15,000 worth of damage…
A bra and some pants.
(Knickers for all you [...]

Spiders

Miss M Beaufoix is quite scared of spiders.
I’m not sure where this has come from…
I am also scared of spiders but thought that I had managed to hide it quite well…
E Beaufoix is not too fussed about spiders either.
But not as bad as M.
The funny thing is, that M is a bit obsessed with spiders too.
I often [...]

Wow, what a fab day.
The rain actually stopped.
Miss M only had to be taken out of the Communion Mass for a wee about 5 times. (She refused to use the potty in the pew but then I don’t blame her. There was quite an audience there.)
E managed to keep her dress completely white all day [...]

Don’t you just love it when you get together with friends that feel so close it’s like you make up a whole?
Last night our mates Lou, Pod, Nic, Ian, Dez, Jay, Rosie, Natalie and Andrea (Italian boy, not girl) came round to play. (Hope you lot don’t mind me mentioning your names.)
These are some of [...]

Who says women aren’t amazing?
Right now I’m cooking dinner for 12. Feeding Misses E and M Beaufoix, pumping up an airbed, AND, writing my blog.
Wow.
Move over Michelle Ryan (ex-Eastenders fame).
I am bionic woman.

My Favourite Things

Miss M Beaufoix has today demonstrated an understanding in the use of the word ‘favourite.’
Infact I can catagorically say that the word ‘favourite’ is her favourite word at this moment in time.
She pronounces it ‘fwavet.’
It is quite cute.
At first she made a declaration of love to her bright red toy bus as she serenaded it with a [...]

Run away with yourself

It always amazes me how much energy children have.
Every Wednesday M and I attend a baby gym class.
Don’t panic, I’m not one of those pushy parents who has their two year old in training for the olympics or anything.
‘Baby Gym’ is basically a large sports hall with some basic gym equipment such as a trampette [...]

A Little Tact Goes a Long Way

Oh my Lord.
I’d always thought my dad’s generation to be a little tactless at times.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my Dad to bits, but he’s not known for his diplomacy.
For example when my mum and I were going to Weight Watchers he’d say,
“So, are you off to fat club then?”
Others more infamously known for [...]
