I have something to show you

I have something to show you.
It’s a little bit special.
I’ve never shown it to anybody before. No, that’s not true, I have shown it to one other person, but otherwise you’ll be the first to see it.
Ready?
Da daaaaaa

Sighhh, lovely isn’t it?
So why am I showing you my overstuffed and unsightly wheelie [...]

Not quite grown up yet

It’s dark outside. My big sister is asleep, her soft breathing sending soothing ripples across the room.
If mum and dad come in now I know there’s a chance I’ll be in trouble, because you have to be asleep. He won’t come in you’re not asleep. But, well, if you’re asleep then you [...]

Part elephant and part grumpy arse

I forgive easily. At least I think I do. I suppose it comes down to who did what, and why.
If I LOVE you I am more likely to forgive you, to find motives for your actions, reasons for the hurt, or the thoughtlessness or the misunderstanding.
If I LIKE you I might be a [...]

I promise there will be no nudity in my next post

My sister lives in Brighton. It’s a really cool place to live and we’ve had many good times there. Bright and colourful it’s a place where anything goes as long as it’s not hurting anybody else. We love it.
This morning, as she sat in the hairdressers minding her own [...]

I had a dream

Last night was the night of the weird dream.
Did I say weird? I meant, really, really, unbelievably weird and kind of slightly disturbing.
Those of you with a delicate disposition, oh and you mum, look away now, the following information may freak you out a little or cause nausea.
No, I didn’t eat anything untoward such [...]

Miss M will not ever be cooking dinner

Miss M drags me by the leg of my jeans to the gerbil tank near the pc. She looks up at me with wide eyes and raised brows, her little mouth pursed, heart shaped with thought.
Miss M: We don’t want to eat a gerbil do we Mummy?
Me: “Erm, no M. [...]

The Peace Globe project started in 2006 with one blog, Mimi Writes.
Today bloggers worldwide will be blogging under the above title and posting their own personal peace globe along with their hopes for peace.
I was stuck on what to write about. There are so many areas in our world that are less than [...]

Na na na I can’t hear you

It’s June, so it’s officially nearly summer right?
We’re ready.

Ok, not really, this is just how they watch TV sometimes. I have no idea why.
Seriously though, this time of year really annoys me.
Not because of the slick cool streaks of rain that wash my windows and give everything I see through them a shimmer of [...]

It hurt, but I made it myself

Karisma is our host for today and she wants to know about “the things you have made with your own two hands or feet”, not including children.
I’m one of those people who likes to make stuff. I’ll have a go at anything. I’ve painted my kids walls, done fun stuff with my camera, [...]

Toon Time

I nabbed this from Miss Burrows, Cami and Mie, oh and Sybil did one too I think..
It is so much fun.
I haven’t worked out how to change the layout so I can do one strip but have them layered on top of each other instead of right across the page yet, but I will.
And my [...]
