Jo Beaufoix

I just realised, if anyone’s been trying to email me, my email is still down so I’ve not been able to check them since July 28th.
So sorry if you’ve been feeling ignored.
I don’t know if I’ll get access to them or not but if I do I’ll answer them asap.
Also, I’ve changed templates as my [...]

Beware the finger snatchers

Ok, I know I said I was doing awards today, but to be honest I’m too tired to enjoy the event fully.
So I’m just going to share an interesting moment of the day with you instead…
 Ok.
We’re sat having dinner.
Miss M turns to me, wiggling her little fingers in the air…
Then she fixes her eyes on mine [...]

He did what?

This really made me laugh.
BBC News 24 has a story that you just couldn’t make up,
Or at least that you just wouldn’t make up…
27 year old Nicki Jex who lives in Leicester was jailed for 5 years today.
That isn’t the crime.
He was jailed for 5 years for holding up a betting shop.
He was jailed for [...]

Tell me a story

First of all everyone, sorry I’ve not done the rounds the last couple of nights.
What with sick kids, mates needing hugs, baptisms, virgin vie parties, girlie nights and blogs needing updating including adding all my pics again, it’s been a mad time.
I’ve just got back from the baptisms and though it was fab it was kind [...]

Not again

Ok.
We’re at the Doctors, waiting for Miss M’s appointment.
She has a fever and is very, well, snotty.
I know it’s probably just a virus but with a temperature of over 39 it needs checking out.
Miss M:  “Need a wee wee Mummy.”
Me:  “Ok babe, we’ll get the key.”
The disabled toilet is occupied, so Misses E and M and [...]

I got mail

Look, I got a postcard.

Isn’t it gorgeous?

It arrived a week or so ago from the fabulous Cami Kaos at Mommified Me.
We don’t have a scanner at the moment so I took a photo of it.
It says,
‘Jo, tell me truly have you ever seen anything look happier than that pig on the front?
Well the guy with [...]

Helloooooooooo

Yay, I’m back…well kind of.
I have to update all my virb posts and have a look at my photos as there’s a problem with them, so I’ll do that tonight and hopefully tomorrow the missing posts will be in place.
I’m not sure when my Ostrich will return, but she’s very well and sends you [...]

Mingling with Royalty

Last night Ingenious Rose and I did something that two grown women should quite possibly be ashamed of…
No,
we didn’t go all dreamy eyed over Boris Johnson, Timmy Mallet or John McCririck.
and no,
we didn’t sit in a cinema somewhere and shoot bits of pocorn out of our parker pens at quiet, genteel and unassuming teenagers.
and no,
we [...]

Miss M cracks a funny

Just a quickie tonight as I’m off to Ingenious Rose’s for a girlie chat and maybe a fruit juice.
Today, Miss M made her first joke.
We had just finished tea, and she looked at us, her audience, with a huge grin and sparkly eyes and said,
Miss M:  “Daddy a girl and M a boy.”
Me:  “Is that [...]

Should I be worried?

When Miss E was almost 3 years old, we moved to our current house.
She settled in really well and seemed very happy in her new room.
After we’d been here for about 4 months E started talking about her friend, Emily Ghost.
I’ve written about this before in my Ghost Dog post.
Anyway, Emily Ghost was E’s bezzie [...]
