Competition Winners and Chicken P*rn

Monday, June 22, 2009

(Is it bad I made Miss E change into, erm, matching pyjamas for this shot?) Congrats Sara. The fabulous Bratz goodies will be wending their way to you very soon, and thanks to everyone who entered. And now I have an important announcement. Cough. To follow we have a post from Miss M aged 4. Sometimes it’s hard [...]

Miss M has become mildly obsessed with next door’s cat. He’s a lovely ginger tom called Cody who spends a large part of the day lounging beneath our trampoline. I miss having a cat so much but have sworn never to have another as my brother is seriously allergic to them and has been told [...]

I nicked this from the fabulous Dulwich Divorcee by way of the equally fabulous and lovely Maternal Tales. I’m not actually here. As in not in my house. Well ok, I am as I write but not as you read. Ok? Good, we can move on then. I’m actually in sunnier climes, snort. Scarborough to be [...]

Snail on a wall Snail on a wall It’s good you’re all sticky Or else you might fall Where are you heading? Where will you stop? Going down to the bottom? Or up to the top? It’s kind of a mystery We can’t comprehend ‘Cos you’re halfway to nowhere Which is a blumming long way for a molluscan gastropoda to go unless he knows there’s an [...]

Once there was a little girl called Miss M. She was small, with dark brown hair and sparkly grey green eyes, and when she walked she was so light on her feet it was almost a dance. At the end of a long and bustling day, Miss M and her big sister Miss E were playing [...]

I promised you before and after shots so here they come. Ready? So this is the before. I know, it’s kind of almost like rhino skin isn’t it? Cough. And this is the after… No really, the results were almost that good. The Aveeno Cream and the Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion went on smoothly and my skin just drunk [...]

What Telly?

Slow and silent the weary travellers wend their way home. Through towering pine where sun light filters into scattered sprinkles on the soft brown earth. A small hand waves goodbye to the myriad of woodland creatures that line their way, a furry salute to this mini snow-white. Grey squirrels, emboldened by a feast of leftover crisps, [...]

We’re watching “Animals do the funniest things.” I know, very high brow, and I am momentarily mesmerized by scuba diver Dwayne Fulsom and his underwater dog, Shadow. While one part of me is thinking about the trust this animal must have in her owner, another part of me is wondering if Mr Fulsom had to [...]
