Am I not the kindest blogger?
You see, even though I fulfilled my pledge of composting all my fresh veg waste this week, (in fact I’ve decided to keep it up even though I don’t have a composter right now,) I still did this…as requested by several of you.
It could have been worse right?
I added a bit of saturation to try to show the true glory or Miss M’s, erm, masterpiece. The red on my neck and my cheeks is a lovely metallic orange colour in real life. I don’t wear that shade much, honest.
Unfortunately I was unable to capture the large blue line on my cleavage as the world is just not ready for that, but nevertheless I think I got off quite lightly really.
Would I go out looking like this though??
Oh my Bob no.
In fact when my Mum came to pick up Miss E to take her to her first performance of Rydell High aka Grease, (they had to rewrite and rename it to prevent the priest from keeling over as it’s a Catholic school), I hid behind the door and told her to ‘break her legs’ instead of smothering her in hugs and kisses like I normally would.
As for the rest of my mad day, so far I have cleared 2 sheds, wrestled scary spiders, loaded my car up with all the shelving and pictures I’d left when I moved out, visited solicitors, put in a complaint to the solicitors, done a weeks shopping, picked up Miss M from nursery, Miss E from school and given Rosie and IJ a lift home, then after cooking a lovely and nutritious meal for my two perfect children I did Miss E some satge make up so doesn’t look all ghostly in the spotlights, straightened her hair, then sat back while Miss M went to town on my face with my Virgin Vie make up palette.
All I have left to do now is put Miss M to bed, do some washing, maybe have a soak in the bath and then sleep the sleep of the kn*ckered, only to rise early, drop the girls off at their respective educational institutions, pick up the lovely Ju, and head off to my old house to help Mr B and his mate Napoleon Fantastic move him out.
Friday night?
I’m having wine ok?

Hey, I don’t think I’ve seen a picture of you before. Hello! And what kindness, letting Miss M make you up. I’ve never done, that but I have been given some pretty spectacular hair-dos.

Love the pic! And yay—————wine!!!

You beauty. Hee hee. Well done you. I was looking forward to this. Think you got off lightly really – now why didn’t you give her a big black eyeliner – I’m sure she could have done something rather magical with it?! Good luck tomorrow – and enjoy the wine – you deserve it sweetie x

Another quiet day then, Jo.

Miss M has a rare talent
And yes you still look gorgeous. Good luck with all the lugging and hope you get some rest. Wine is always a good start. After a manic birthday party on the homefront for 9 kiddiwinks I am joining you. Chin chin

hey busy bee. Hope the day goes well tomorrow. LOVE the make up. All memories of dressing up as Adam Ant came flooding back. Enjoy the wine tomorrow night. I have a feeling you’re really going to need it!

You look perfectly beautiful Jo…as only a daughter can beautify her mum! Yes, please…have wine…we’ll tell Father it’s Sacramental wine, shall we?

You deserve quite a few bottles of wine on Friday night. I’m impressed with your effectiveness. And may I say you still manage to look rather lovely despite your makeover!

You got off very lightly, indeed. Think Miss M may have a calling there. Hope the moving goes OK.

Through all that garish make up, we can still see that you’re a pretty woman. Miss M could not disguise that.
Goodness, you’ve been working hard. You sound like me in my younger years when I could move mountains. I had muscles in my arms then. Well…I still do a little bit.
You deserve a total night off, Friday night, with some lovely wine and some lovely chocolate. Okay, I don’t know if you eat chocolate, but that’s what I would have…

In all seriousness, I knew you were pretty but you’ve got to be GORGEOUS to pull that look off. I’m a wee bit jealous. Honestly.

I am exhausted after reading this .. and I think you look Mahvelous!

‘Sleep the sleep of the kn*ckered’. Love it!
Gorgeous photo too.
Cheers! x

And why pray tell would you not go out looking like that? You look like a beautiful faerie to me!
