Sorry

Sorry I haven’t been out and about in blogland today.
I’ve had a Virgin Vie Party and it’s just finished. (It’s 12.24am)
It’s been fab as loads of my girlie friends have been round, including Clare our very own Virgin Vie Rep’.
I’m ‘pickled’ as Miss M would say, and completely, well, knackered really.
Will be round to [...]

A little hiccup

Inspired by Dumdad’s comment yesterday,
‘Nettles and dock leaves: funny how this knowledge is handed down through the generations.’
…and an interesting episode with Miss M this morning,
I have a question for you.
How do you cure Hiccups?
Or is it Hiccoughs?
Hmmmmmm,

In a pickle

Miss M confused both my parents today with one of her M-isms.
We spent the afternoon with my fab friend Nic and her gorgeous little boy C who is about 16 months old.
As the weather was fine we headed off to nearby Sherwood Pines which is a beautiful setting for picnics, walking, cycling and also rock [...]

Do you believe in ghosts?

David over at author blog has posed this weeks question if anyone else would like to join in.
All he asks is that you link to him in return so he can follow its progress.
And the question is:
Do you believe in ghosts?

We’ve discussed it a little before, here and here,

Small genius

“Mummy, mummy, come and see what I’ve done”
That was Miss E hailing me at 10 o’clock last night.
I’m just having a quick game of Pirates on Facebook while Mr B makes a cuppa (rock and roll).
“E, you should be asleep babe” I say as I march up the stairs, smiling with anticipation. What is [...]

And I have these ready in case you need them.

The nightmare is coming true

Many of you who know me will be well aware of the problems we have been having this summer with a certain group of little slimy visitors…

Remember this… and this?
Well, according to BBC News 24,
‘Plentiful rain, warm temperatures and a shortage of sun have
 
provided perfect munching conditions for [...]

Dinosaur Junior

We have just had a brilliant day at the stunning Clumber Park which is not far from where we live.
Having encouraged Miss E to overcome her fear of wasps and venture out into the sunshine, we spent a fabulous day walking around the lake, feeding the ducks (though to be honest Miss M ate more [...]

Be careful what you say

I am shocked and bereft.
Never have I experienced such disappointment, such bewilderment and such fear.
Not infact, since turning over the TV at that horrifying moment in ‘Celebrity’ Big Brother when George Galloway pretended to be a cat…
NB. Only watch this clip if you have a very strong stomach, bleurghhh.
Did you see?
Well what happened was worse [...]

Awards and an interesting question…

Hooray AWARDS time.
Awards Part I
You all know this bit but I thought I’d add it anyway to big up the fab creator of these beautiful awards.
There are five distinct awards in the series created by Writers Review’s , intuitive, creative and most thoughtful blogger herself, Christy Zutautas.
There is a specific description for each award [...]
