It’s not every day you meet a real life superhero is it?
At least I think that’s what they were, there’s no other conclusion I can come to. Superheroes or aliens or people from another dimension who have developed especially thick and yet amazingly normal looking skin.
I mean, you just don’t expect it do you?
After [...]

Her task for today is COLLECTIONS
She says,

Sorry to whinge people but I’m still feeling like someone has taken an axe to my head and like my throat has been packed tightly with cotton wool and beaten with a rubber dingy.
That means rough, ok?
SO all I can manage today is a quick round up of our weekend.
1. Miss M demonstrates the [...]

Cupboard Love

When I was small and attempting to charm my way to an extra piece of cake by giving my mum or my gran my sweetest smile or biggest cuddle, they would look at me grinning and say, “Now, now Jo, that’s cupboard love.”
But I put it to you that they were wrong, because in actual [...]

Todays post has very little writing in it because my brain is jelly.
I’m finally catching up on a little reading though, and at Akelamalu’s I happened upon this which led me to this and I felt all excited. I know, sad isn’t it?
So thanks Claire for the much needed inspiration, and this is my [...]

I am still knackered and sore throated. Sleep would help, I must get some of that, MISS M.
Today I had to go back to the surgery for a routine blood test.
Miss E was back at school, though she’s still a bit pasty faced, but I am sooo glad she wasn’t with us because Miss [...]

Doctor Noooooooo

I always dread taking my kids to the doctors.
It’s nothing to do with the doctors themselves, they’re all pretty good, no really they are, we’re really lucky in that respect. And the receptionists are friendly and the building is clean and comfortable and convenient.
No loose lions or diseased rats linger in corners, no [...]

One of those things you don’t want your kid to say at Nursery

It’s about 5 O’Clock in the afternoon. I’m chatting to a certain person on the phone, when Miss M appears beside me, tugs on my arm and says very loudly;
Miss M: “Mummy, Daddy is wearing your pants.”
Me: “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”
Holl: “Snort, I’m blogging that.”
Kids, don’t you just love ‘em?
Please note: He wasn’t, [...]

This weeks Fun Monday comes from the fabulous Sauntering Soul.
She says, ‘Come on, it’s confession time! List the small things you do that make you a jerk ad elaborate just a little bit on each one. Please tell me I’m not the only jerk around here!’
I like this.
Because I have many jerk like [...]
