GOOD - My house sale goes through on Friday BAD – Due to the evil solicitors who realised they had made an even bigger error today, I have toclear out two sheds and help Mr B move out on Friday, when I should be relaxing and cooking a family meal for my Auntie Frieda and cousin Harriet who [...]

I need a car. It doesn’t need to be a big one. Or a posh one. Just you know, a car. I’m really not too fussy. As long as it’s got wheels, doors, windows, and an engine and all those other bits cars need to make them go. As long as it keeps the rain out and the kids in. As [...]

I can’t write. Seriously, I think someone squidged my brain out of my ear, rinsed it out, put it through one of those old fashioned clothes wringers and then hung out to drip dry in the cool night air. If you listen very carefully you might hear it flapping. Flap flap flap See. Help.

I got a surprise last night. My sis-in-law and I headed into town after our meal as we decided we were both definitely in need of a little more entertainment. The night was dull and rain cleared the streets leaving bars jam packed with hot and slightly damp smelling people. In need of cheesy music and [...]

When you’re in your 30s it’s not nice to realise you’re losing your hair. I mean, hair is important right? It keeps your head warm It frames your face It’s useful for hanging out of high windows so that handsome men can climb up it And it’s good for hiding any strange growths on your neck, or an oddly [...]

Never, no never used hair removal cream when you’re in a rush. You see, I have a… friend…cough… who decided it would be a good idea to use cream instead of her usual razor in the hope of avoiding sore bits, as she was heading off to Center Parcs and knew she’d be spending much [...]

It seems my new house has some kind of aversion to red wine. Or rather, it’s making me have an aversion to read wine. Seriously, even the smallest glass makes me feel rough as badger’s bum the next day. Either that or I have the lergy which would be very annoying as we’re off to [...]

Can’t stop. Have to clear my lounge and dining area for the painter who’ll be here tomorrow and Tuesday. A week before we moved in there was some damp proofing done so the plaster has been drying and is now ready to paint. So I will leave you with the cuteness that is Miss M [...]

What’s Green and Runny?

Ms Beaufoix is currently unavailable due to extremely snotty kids. It’s quite possible she has actually become physically joined to one of them, such is the abundance of green gluey goo that is oozing from a certain small person’s left nostril. Usual blogging will commence once Ms Beaufoix and ’said’ child have been soaked in warm water, [...]

Can’t stop. Tomorrow is my sister and her lovely hubby’s party, and then the family are off to Center Parcs for the weekend. So Thursday will be a mad day as I have to take the girls to school and nursery, then go to Fitball – because I exercise now don’t you know? (It’s hilarious.) [...]
