I swear it’s apple juice

Monday, June 7, 2010

Having just returned from our fab Keycamps trip to France I have to admit it’s taking me a while getting into the swing of things. One thing I have stopped immediately though, is the drinking. Apart from the fact I’m shattered and have two children to get up for school, keep clean, and feed, drinking [...]

Tonight I am out on my gorgeous sister Claire’s local hen night. We will be hitting the hostelries of Mansfieldshire with wild abandon. Starting early with a meal at a nearby restaurant with friends and family, the ‘youngsters’ will then be heading into town to sample a few more alcoholic beverages and boogie the night [...]

When cool got married

Yesterday was quite possibly the coolest wedding in the world ever. Why? 1. The bride, my mate Lu, was wearing a fabulous creation from an amazing and also very lovely Nottingham Designer who makes clothes for Dita Von Teese and the Scissor Sisters. So she looked like a princess but with a funky/sassy edge that [...]

Right now, if all is going to plan we should be surrounded by lovely mates and having a fabulous time. Misses E and M will probably be no longer sweetly smelling and neatly attired, but red faced and laughing doing knee slides across the dance floor. Mr B will probably have gravy [...]

The fabulous 21st Century Mummy aka Mrs Almost Average, creator (and soon to be published author) of The Rubbish Diet has tagged me for a mini interview type meme thingy. Having had a poorly 3 and 8 year old off school today on the one day I had the car (oh the plans I had), I [...]

As Saturday morning arrived bright and early thanks to the large resident cock (no pun intended)…(well ok, I meant it a little bit)… I awoke to the rustic beamed ceiling, the view from yesterday’s post, and silence. No cars, no buses, no general buzz of a town waking up. No alarm clocks, no small children jumping on [...]

What can I tell you? For someone who was a little nervous about spending a weekend with a bunch of people of whom she only really knew about two of very well, I think it went ok. Seriously, I have just spent 3 days and two nights with a bunch of the loveliest girls. Though we [...]

The lovely Lisa is hosting this week’s Fun Monday and she was kind enough to give us two choices for our Fun Monday subject. The first is ‘What is the one thing you would like to ask your readers? Come up with a question to pose to your visitors and throw it out there.’ The second [...]

Stream of nearly unconsciousness?

I think my brain has been infested by slug. Or it could be the 3 hours spent at Playland with Miss M’s friends after Nursery or the hour and a half at MacDonalds with Miss E’s friends after school because they broke up for the summer today…but it’s probably the slug. Maybe I have caught [...]

Fun Monday today comes from the wild and wonderous IamwhoIam at Dungarees Ablaze (Hope those adjectives are ok. ) She says; “..lets hear about your favorite “Birthday”, it needn’t be your actual birthday just a birthday celebration. You can use one you planned, one you attended, one you crashed, just a fun time for [...]
