She loves me

Today Miss M told me she loved me.
I nearly cried.
You see, she always says it back it when we say it to her.
And she says it out of habit when she’s saying bye bye to people,
Miss M: “Bye bye, yuv you.”
But I don’t think she’s ever just said it by herself, in a [...]

Noooooooooooooooo

Miss M has learned a new trick.
It is this…

Combined with this…
Miss M: “Sweeties Mummy.”
Me: “Not today babe.”
Miss M: “Sweeties.”
Me: “No M, it’s not a sweetie day today.”
Miss M: “Sweeties peas.” (That’s M speak for please.)
Me: “No M. You can have an apple.”
Miss M: “Peasy peasy mummy.”
Me: [...]

I’ll write you another poem

Ok, remember when I did this…
Well I’m still up for the challenge.
Last time, Ingenious Rose and Mya challenged me.
And these were the results….

‘Slush, mush, there’s rain outside.’
The rest is up to you.
Hope you are up for it.

Monday Madness

More goodies today.
The wondrous Pari at cre8buzz has glammed young Barbara up even more.

Shhhh, isn’t she just darn lovely?
I have to whisper though, as her ego has grown so much since her makeover that she has started pecking at my hair if she thinks it’s not neat enough, and keeps hurling lippy at me if [...]

The wonderful and the weird

Thanks for all your messages yesterday.
We had a brilliant night last night, even though I think we were all a bit tired.
Nic, Ingenious Rose and I had our butts whipped at Trivial Pursuit. We usually win, honest, but we had a night of surreal questions.
The chilli went down well, as did the beer and [...]

If you want to join in all he asks is that you link to his blog (or to this post) so he can follow the progress of the discussion.
And the question is: Which toy was your childhood favourite?
This is so difficult as I [...]

We come bearing gifts…

This week has been a great one for prezzies.
Firstly my gorgeous friend Ingenious Rose came for a coffee today and brought me some courgettes, grown by her own fair hands.
She told me about them on the phone.
So I was thinking stir-fry for tea,

Mmmm,
or ratatouille…

When they arrive they are, erm, fabulous.
Perfectly formed capsules of soft flesh [...]

What do you write on a day like today?
 
I’m not sure I have the words.

So here’s to all the innocent victims of this conflict.
I hope you find peace and comfort.
