Fun Monday – Our House

Monday, December 17, 2007

This weeks Fun Monday comes from the gorgeous Kitten who says… “Today for Fun Monday I thought it would be neat to hear about the story behind your home and the road you live on. It doesn’t have to be historical, maybe just something that stands out to you. It would be nice to have pictures [...]

Hooray, my PC is now much better after some TLC from Mr B, so I can at last bring you the competition winners… Six of you lovely people found the time in this mad month of novel writing, NanoBloMo, Thanks Giving, and Christmas shopping, to work out my semaphore message. The answer was, “Get your coat, you’ve [...]

Miss M has been having a few nightmares lately. I think it’s her age, you know, her imagination is developing and she remembers stuff more. She’s woken up crying a few times. So, when she calls out for me at 5.40 this morning I assume we’re off again… I walk into her room and she’s [...]

This really made me laugh. BBC News 24 has a story that you just couldn’t make up, Or at least that you just wouldn’t make up… 27 year old Nicki Jex who lives in Leicester was jailed for 5 years today. That isn’t the crime.

‘A former US astronaut accused of trying to kidnap a love rival did not wear a nappy during her long drive to confront the other woman, her lawyer says.’ Erm, good. That’s great to know. I feel better now. If she’d been accused of attacking her ex’s new lady friend in a nappy I’d have been so worried. I mean, [...]

Ok. Miss M and I are playing daft games on the bed. I am snuffling her nose and her tummy like a dog and she thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world. She’s laughing her little head off and saying, M: “Get down doggy. Get down Mummy doggy.” I am finding it equally hilarious as when she laughs it [...]
