When I was 23…

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

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 [...]

Hens hit Bath

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 [...]

Tonight I am at a secret location in lovely historic Bath, where myself, and a whole bunch of fabulous chicks will be toasting our mate Lucy who gets married at the end of this month. We arrived here yesterday where if all went to plan we were visited by a wonderful chef who came [...]

Foodstuffs. Can they really be useful when sharing your innermost thoughts with a loved one? Take apples. Sometimes people describe another person as the ‘apple of their eye’. That always strikes me as a little strange. I mean, apples have absolutely nothing to do with eyes, unless you have green or red eyes and [...]

See these? Well, they’re not Madonna’s, they’re mine. Well some of them are mine. Probably at least two of them are mine. See Madonna, My kids. Cute, amusing, and we have your biscuits. We win. Update: Some of you thought I’d put a little too much of my girls faces here. I kind of agreed, as did Dan, Holl, Rosie, Mr B and my [...]

Self help, help yourself

So you know sometimes people give you weird gifts that you’re not sure how to respond to? Like diet books? Shudder. Well last week I got this. This could be seen as a dig at the fact I am stalked by slugs, or, a warm and loving meant gift to help me overcome my fear of their squishy ooziness. I mean, it’s probably [...]

They had not expected to meet a dragon when they set out that morning to visit the land of Chesterfield. Minstrels and players, yes. Jesters and tumblers, yes. Jugglers on stilts, fairy tale princesses, men battling for the hand of a fair maiden or a free cup of mead, maybe a mad monk or [...]

Party Shock

Once upon a time there was a large red tomato. Now this was no ordinary tomato as it had a penchant for disco dancing and tended to do ‘the shuffle’ at any given opportunity. By doing a regular shimmy he rarely got picked by the shoppers at Schmesco as most people [...]

The thing is, if we hadn’t stopped him he’d probably have forced it down, even though it was obvious his tastebuds were on the verge of revolt. So what disgusting unusual sandwich fillings do you all like? Come on, make me have to use this…

It’s funny how you can be down one day and then up the next. Not funny like a monkey doing a little dance then running off with some rich blokes sandwiches is funny… And not funny like Vic Reeves or Tommy Cooper or Stephen Fry or Eddie Izzard is/are funny… And not funny like a small badger playing [...]
