When I first met lovely Susanna aka A Modern Mother , fabulous Frog in the Field, gorgeous Potty Mummy , and one of my first blog buddies Almost Mrs Average in London in 2008, Susanna asked if we fancied starting a little group. We jumped at the chance and down to Susanna’s hard work British Mummy Bloggers was born. Now 2 [...]

Dear Readers I need your help. I need you to ‘channel’my camera charger. It is somewhere in my house…or at my Mum and Dad’s…or at my friend’s…or dropped randomly in the street somewhere, possibly huddled against an empty crisp packet and a one legged pigeon. I need you to feeeeeel the charger. Close your eyes and imagine its [...]

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 [...]

Not Brownies

Somewhere in my house there is a germ laden piece of evil yuckiness. It’s probably a troll or a toothless gremlin or the opposite of a brownie. (No not that kind of brownie although the opposite of that would be a rice cake or something.) No, I mean the kind of brownie who comes into [...]

As some of you may have noticed or been told, I’m not very technical. Apparently I take after my Gran in that respect, which is fine as my Gran was wicked and my heart still does a little quiver when I think of her now, even though I lost her 22 years ago now. [...]

There was a crab in my house last night. On awkwardly bent legs it sidled gingerly across my room then lay for a moment on the landing breathing away the dizzying pain that almost overcame it. I think someone may have pulled a couple of its limbs of at it seems to only have four, [...]

Girl Stuff – Boys Can Read But I Take No Responsibility For Any Untoward Reactions

I am having a hormone crisis. Sounds charming doesn’t it? But it’s actually pretty vile and I feel like a raving loony. It began 2 weeks ago with my body deciding ‘hey, why menstruate once a month when you can do it twice?’ Then we got the extreme exhaustion, sore head and scary dreams, culminating in no sleep, [...]

It’s not my Fault

It’s not my fault. Honestly, I had absolutely no choice in the matter. I mean, can I help it if a large-for-his age pygmy gorilla picks me up, whips me over his shoulder, takes me out and forces me to drink copious amounts of Peruvian sieve coloured vodka and dance to cheesy retro music two nights in [...]

Have you seen my silly?

I’ve lost my silly. I think it may have eloped with a shoe salesman or possibly a heron. In case you’re wondering what a ’silly’ looks like, mine is kind of soft and squishy and varies in colour from hot pink to a cool soothing duck egg blue depending on mood and temperature, and whether or not [...]
