Thursday, June 9, 2011

Fill your lungs, breath out slowly, nose to screen annnnnnnnnd sniffffffffffffffffffffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF Go on, take in [...]

It’s not every day you get the chance to make a difference to the life of a small fluffy animal. I mean, unless you live in a zoo or are the sole provider of dental care for Lesser Spotted Tripe Hounds, it’s unlikely you feel that warm flush of well-being that comes from doing something good [...]

I am out. Myself and Misses E and M have joined my parents, brothers and sister in laws, and sister and brother in law, and nieces for a family Easter away from it all. Tonight I will be having my first ever spa with my sis Claire, and my s-i-l’s, Helly and Saz, while my youngest [...]

When I was young and sweet and innocent I used to believe stuff. Now I am far less gullible, cough, but back then, well, I wasn’t always sure what was real and what was pretend. For example, I remember watching a programme where a Chinese Dragon – you know, the fabric kind – ate a young [...]

Just didn’t want you to think I’d been picked up and slung over the shoulder of a handsome stranger – probably a Simon Baker or David Tennant look alike – and whisked away to somewhere lovely where they supply calorie free but extremely yummy chocolate, and a special book that you [...]

Can’t blog. Have Haagen Daz and White Zinfandel. I’m now thinking it may have just been a general lergy as we’re all much better today. I’m going to give them another day tomorrow and if they’re symptom free and school are happy, then I’ll send them back on Tuesday. So I’m celebrating with wine and ice cream [...]

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 [...]
