Morphy Richards give blogger a new pet

31. January 2011

I am cleaning my house with a dinosaur.
No really I am.
It stalks from room to room destroying everything in its path. It has decimated the dirt on my stairs, gobbled my living room carpet to cleanliness, and slicked the dust from my laminate floored kitchen like a small child’s finger oe’r the top of a [...]

Technology Hates Me

30. January 2011

4 Comments

Tonight technology hates me.
One blog post – eaten
One Nokia N8 mobile phone – frozen
Three completed Kodak photo books – disappeared into the ether
One set belt needed to ship Miss E, Miss M and my two nieces to school and nursery tomorrow – jammed
And even my trusty macbook crashed and had to be turned on and [...]

Love you baby girl. Can’t believe you’re six today. Doesn’t seem all that long since we were discussing why it is not a good idea to paddle in your potty. Sighhhhhhh

Drunken Ramblings from a friend’s couch

Drunken post alert. It’s been one of those njghts where you kind of don’t feel like going out because your bottom feels too big and your purse feels too small but your mate is putting on a mod night and you promised you’d go and you’d feel so bad if you didn’t, but, it turns [...]

30 Days of Truth

I have a lovely bloggy friend. Her name is Cami. She writes eloquently and has a truly unique voice that can make me laugh, smile, snort cheekily, nod sagely, feel calmed and soothed or inspired and energized, and one day I hope to meet her.
Back in the early days I read her every day, but [...]

New Home

We’ve found a house.
The ceilings are not so high, the rooms not quite so full of character that comes not just from age but from lives lived, but it feels good.
It’s smaller, but newer which means things like roof collapses are less likely to happen.
There’s a downstairs cloakroom, no dining room but a huowge lounge [...]

5 year old saves the day

Struggling right now.
M and E are so sad. We don’t want to move. We don’t want to pack our lives up again and leave wonderful neighbours and good friends and next door’s cat.
It’s hard to stay positive when you’re not in control.
There are no hard feelings towards my landlady. She doesn’t want to sell. So [...]

The Bag Lady and my Mum

I have a lovely friend. You might remember her from when I slimmed my bin in 2008, or our Chuggington Meet Up, or my sister’s hen weekend in old London Town in 2009 when she joined me for a hug and a cuppa. But you’re more likely to know her from her fabulous blog, ‘The [...]

Fishy Wishes

Sometimes I think it would be much easier to be a fish.
I mean, how hard can it be swimming around a tank all day, apart from maybe being a bit tiring on the old fins? My crappy memory wouldn’t matter because I’d forget that I’d forgotten, AND I wouldn’t have to get the kids to school [...]
