Yuck and Yum

Tuesday, July 17, 2007

I wasn’t sure what I’d write about today as I didn’t want to bring on the sads, but Mr B gave me some blog fodder last night with a small gift. It was an unusual present. In actual fact it nearly made me lose my dinner. I was minding my own business emptying the washing into the tumble [...]

What a day…

This morning started off as ‘one of those days’ in the making… You know, toddler up most of the night and still gets up at 6.30am. Miss E doesn’t want to go to school as her arm hurts (she bumped it doing handstands on her bed…) It’s raining outside and I’m dodging a migraine but it gets a [...]

All parents are superheroes

Parents are fantastic. We must be the most employable people in the world. We are experts in: Waste Management – We are regularly faced with snot and vomit, we change nappies, wipe bums, empty the potty etc. Health and Safety – “Don’t touch the oven, stove, electric sockets, TV, scissors, glass, dog, cat, llama…” Education – “Yes sweetie, [...]

I love this. On Friday, BBC News 24 published a lit of ‘46 words women might say, men probably wouldn’t.’ They’ve taken this idea from some US research that has discovered, “female subjects get through an average of 16,215 words a day, compared with their male counterparts’ 15,669, a difference of 546. “. The US team then apparently quizzed [...]

Sleep Well

Staying on the subject of dreams and sleep from yesterday, I thought I’d see what was out there and came up with this. Apparently, “Professor Chris Idzikowski, director of the UK Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service analysed six common sleeping positions – and found that each is linked to a particular personality type.” How funny is this? (I’m so [...]

Here’s a little something to kind of balance the seriousness of my last post. Today Miss E asked Mr B one of the BIG questions. They were watching the new Dolce & Gabbana add… You know, where the gorgeous couple are in a boat. He’s wearing just a pair of white tight fitting pants and has a 6 pack [...]

Singing in the rain

Alright, I lied. I recently left a comment on Susan as Herself’s ‘Drink up and Dance Post’ saying we don’t really get extreme weather in the UK, especially in Nottinghamshire where La Famille Beaufoix hail from. Well today we have torrential rain, and yesterday we had torrential rain, infact we’ve had torrential rain for well over a week now. “The [...]

Ahh sometimes you just gotta laugh. News 24 has reported today on the collapse of a road in County Durham due to a flood. Ok, not funny in itself I know, but wait till you hear what caused the flood which lead to the collapse, and £15,000 worth of damage… A bra and some pants. (Knickers for all you [...]

A Little Tact Goes a Long Way

Oh my Lord. I’d always thought my dad’s generation to be a little tactless at times. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Dad to bits, but he’s not known for his diplomacy. For example when my mum and I were going to Weight Watchers he’d say, “So, are you off to fat club then?” Others more infamously known for [...]

Ok, I’m about to pose a big question. Not a small question like, Why do monks do that weird thing with their hair? Not a medium question like, Why can’t I do the crab anymore? But a big question. A question that is to do with pain and suffering, fear and loathing, and indeed life and death to some people. Ok. Are you ready? [...]
