Worst Christmas Gift Ever

It’s never a good idea to send livestock by Royal Mail.
Socks?  Yes.
A book?  Perfect.
Turkish Delight and those yucky sugared almond things?  Well, if you must.
But an animal??

I knew there might be a problem when I read the words “Fully Vaccinated” on the lid, but I still didn’t truly expect there to be a living breathing [...]

To Wii or not to Wii…and Pictures of Nice Men

I’ve gone all posh.
No really.
I never thought it would happen, but I now have staff, a personal trainer to be exact!  He’s tall, pale, sort of interesting looking in a weirdly two dimensional way and he’s on call anytime I want him.  He’s polite, encouraging, fit (obviously), and he doesn’t poke me in my flabby [...]

Ms Beaufoix Gets A New Man

Hmmmm, me thinks even Dan couldn’t resist this…

I
HUGGED
SULLY
Sighhhhhhhhhhhh.
Is it bad that I was tempted to cut my child out of this picture?  No, don’t answer that.
Anyway, I am kn*ckered so it’s a glass of wine and a hot bath for me right now.  Come back tomorrow for more Disney pics and the chance to win [...]

Super Savvy Me, the Giant Pigeon and a Man dressed as a Haddock

I haven’t been to London much.
When I was a kid I had plans to head off to the big city and make my way as a writer.  I’d live in this leaky and yet some how cosy flat, with fifties decoration and an eccentric but loveable old couple next door who’s cat would sometimes poop [...]

Weird Beards and other Beautiful Things

You won’t believe it.
No, really, you won’t.
Except of course you will because I never lie.
Well almost never…cough.
THE BEER FESTIVAL RAN OUT OF BEER
Would you like me to repeat that?
THE
BEER
FESTIVAL
RAN
OUT
OF
BEER
Thanks CAMRA.  Next year you must bring more booze.  Tsk.  (But you did give us a full refund so thanks for that too.)
What this means also is [...]

Jo Whiley – My World in Motion, a book for the 90s indie kid?

If all has gone to plan, I am at The Big Chill Festival with Misses E and M.  So while I’m having my own musical interlude, I thought I’d share another one (of sorts) with you.
As I’ve mentioned before, oohh about 8 million times, I was a 90s kid.
A 90s kid as in I was [...]

Turbo Boost

Is it bad that I had to take a photo of this when I was in London??

I mean I don’t fancy the Hoff or anything…well..not anymore, but when I was about 10, I thought he was lovely, and I wanted his car, and I wanted my brother’s Knightrider watch, even more than I wanted my [...]

Predator

I got a surprise last night.
My sis-in-law and I headed into town after our meal as we decided we were both definitely in need of a little more entertainment.  The night was dull and rain cleared the streets leaving bars jam packed with hot and slightly damp smelling people.  
In need of cheesy music and [...]

A Musical Blast from the Past and ‘My Bump and Me.’

Never one to miss out on an opportunity for free literature, I jumped at the chance to review a new paperback release from Virgin Books.
UK celebrity, Myleene Klass, singer, classical musician, TV/radio presenter and bikini wearing jungle babe has recently joined the Mummy club and while working on the production of her mini me, the [...]

Joeee Love In and Dr Who

If you’ve been drawn here by the words ‘love-in’ and are expecting some weird and raunchy encounter between Joaquin Phoenix, Britney Spears, Colin Firth and Beyonce then you’re in the wrong place, sorry.
And if you’ve arrived by way of the tag ’self love’ then again this might not be quite the thing you’re looking for, [...]
