All is Now Right with the World

Honest.
Tomorrow morning I can truly say, almost for definite, that all will be right with the world.  
We’ve sorted it.
That’s what happens when girls get together.   I don’t know why governments don’t think of this.  Seriously.  Stick all the world leaders in a room, with me and my mates, and we’ll sort it.  No [...]

Are you dancing?

Today I am happy.  
Nothing can spoil it.
Even if a cart load of monkeys turned up and trampled my nice clean washing and daubed the words “You smell of monks cassocks and your favourite food is dried lentils on toast, loser!” all over my front door, I would be happy.
Why?
Well, Miss M turns 5 in [...]

Night night sleep tight

One lies softly curled around bear and dog.  Hair tousled, mouth open, a gentle rumbling coming from her sleep filled throat.  As I clamber over doll and teddy, book and CD, homework, coloured pencils, it strikes me that this one clings to things.  Holds on.  Surrounds herself with security, the familiar, the loved.  And I [...]

I Can’t Fail

I’m a bit scared.
You see, I have made a promise, a pledge, a commitment.
But there’s a catch.
No I’ve not sold my soul to a malingering monkey disguised as Elizabeth Taylor.
And I haven’t agreed to shave my head in aid of homeless alcoholic shrews
And I definitely won’t be dunking my biscuits in a bucket of squid
But, [...]

Biiiiiiicycle, BIIIIIIICYCLE

You may remember a while back I wrote a couple of posts featuring the DfT Children’s Road Safety Campaign??
Well not only is there a new ad…

..which I really like even though it is still kind of dark and sad.  (As usual any opinions on this would be interesting.)
..and a fab new game that encourages your children [...]

Drunken Post Alert 2

It’s 3am.
Shhhhhhhhh.
I am all alone in the house having returned from the lovely Shell’s 30th birthday bash a little worse for wear.  Misses E and M are at their Daddy’s house tucked up with teddies and hopefully having sweet dream  possibly about ’smiling yet serious when it matters’ penguins or dancing pineapple chunks taking over [...]

Cake

Take one 5 month pregnant birthday girl…

And what do you get?

Well ok, apart from that, what do you get?

Sighhhhh, perfection.
Happy Birthday Miss Lucy
Love ya sweet cheeks.
And ta for a lovely time at The Walk

..and this is me again

I read it and it just cracked me up.  
And then I thought, what if its not spam?  
What if somewhere in a land far far [...]

YawWWWwnn

 
That’s what happens to my brain when my kid gets me up unexpectedly at 3.20am, then cries at, moans at, chatters at and grumbles at me for no particular reason, until about 6.30am.
It ain’t pretty.

Embarrassing Things Not to Say to Your Neighbours

Miss M has become mildly obsessed with next door’s cat.  He’s a lovely ginger tom called Cody who spends a large part of the day lounging beneath our trampoline.  I miss having a cat so much but have sworn never to have another as my brother is seriously allergic to them and has been told [...]
