A Moment to Ponder

I’ve spent the last few days with friends while Misses E and M have been at Daddy’s. It’s been a really lovely weekend including a drunken meal putting the world to rights, a stroll by the canal, and letting off a beautiful lantern into a clear midnight sky dotted with stars.  I’m tired, but it’s that [...]

I’m taking a little time away from my blog.  It used to be a place of escape, somewhere safe, but right now, for whatever reason it has become something else.  I don’t want to be part of the competition anymore I suppose.  It was kind of all I had that was just for me and [...]

Bloggers for Haiti

I sit and write this post at the end of a long day. A day where my two little girls arrived home from Daddy’s at 9am. A day where we set off to visit Rosie and IJ’s at 10.15am and stayed for lunch. A day where my mates Nic, Lu, Podda and Baby I came to visit at [...]

Step Back in Time

I was going to post this yesterday.  After a fab weekend with a visit from my wonderful friend Zerilda and her family, my two monkeys were to spend Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday with Daddy, but at 8pm Mr B phoned saying Miss M wanted to come home, and as I knew we had two [...]

Getting back to nature with Supergrass, Lightening Seeds and Super Furry Animals

There’s something so cool about loving a band when you’re 18 and still loving them at 34. I’ve grown up with Supergrass and they’re one of the best bands I have ever seen live. In fact, Supergrass at Rock City was our honeymoon.  We got married when I was a 24.  We were both at Uni, me [...]

Disney Blu Ray Ambassadors Hit Old London Town

So why was I in London? Well, Disney, and the fabulous Kerry and Kate at Think Parents invited the Blu Ray Ambassadors down to old London town to be filmed talking about the fabulousness that is Disney Blu-Ray.   ‘Filmed’, as in by a camera.  Not just a little clicky clicky one, but a proper big one. [...]

Wobbly Bits and Hadrian’s Walk

I’ve just jumped out of the shower and am sat naked on my bed answering a quick email. Miss M is lying beside me, and as I concentrate on the screen she prods me with her little pointy toe. Then she prods again, harder. Then harder. And she’s laughing her head off. Me:  ”Ow.  What are you doing to your [...]

Drayton Manor Blog Invasion

Either it’s raining very hard here or Darth Vader is in my kitchen.  I’m not scared though, as I have had Pomme Bears and everyone knows they give you special powers.  Cough. Anyway, now I am somewhat recovered from my weekend of madness and my ‘wobble’, let me tell you more about the Drayton Manor Bloggers [...]

It’s done. Mr B’s new house is fab and he seems happy.  He has a ton of work to do but he’ll get there.  My two little monkeys are in bed and a bit lively.  They always seem to go a bit mad when they get to bed later than usual.  Then again I tend to [...]

It’s 3am. Shhhhhhhhh. I am all alone in the house having returned from the lovely Shell’s 30th birthday bash a little worse for wear.  Misses E and M are at their Daddy’s house tucked up with teddies and hopefully having sweet dream  possibly about ’smiling yet serious when it matters’ penguins or dancing pineapple chunks taking over [...]
