Naked blog, how rude

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

I’m so embarrassed. I swear my blog does not usually appear naked in public. I don’t think she’s ever even flashed her widgets at a passing postman before. But she’s gone away for a fabulous new make over and will return soon draped in loveliness and feeling all sassy. I’ve booked her in for a manicure and pedicure too, [...]

Spooky goings on

This morning Miss M asked me a very strange question. It went something like this… M: “Mummy, where is d orange doggy?” Ok, I suppose it doesn’t sound strange in itself, but for one, we haven’t got a dog, and two, if we did have, I don’t think there is any breed of dog that could truthfully [...]

Dream on

If you’re scared of weirdness, look away now. Still here? OK. Last night I had a very, very strange dream. It made me laugh, but was just completely bemusing. Prepare yourself. It is not a pretty image. Last night I dreamt I had long yeti-like hair on my butt cheeks. It wasn’t a sexual dream I promise. I was just peering over my shoulder [...]

Sleeping with Rocky

Last night a miracle occurred in la maison de Beaufoix. It is something that might just change our lives forever. No, we didn’t inherit copious anounts of money from an obscure relative who had been living in East Anglia, liked knitting tortoise shaped handbags, and went by the name of Barry. No, we didn’t win the lottery, pools, or even a [...]

Toilet Humour

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 [...]

Spiders

Miss M Beaufoix is quite scared of spiders. I’m not sure where this has come from… I am also scared of spiders but thought that I had managed to hide it quite well… E Beaufoix is not too fussed about spiders either. But not as bad as M. The funny thing is, that M is a bit obsessed with spiders too. I often [...]

Farewell Headless Ken

Hooray, it’s happened at last Miss E Beaufoix has finally accepted the demise of headless Ken. E, like many 6 year olds, absolutely adores Barbie dolls, and was thrilled when Granny Beaufoix pulled from her roof some of my old toys which included several scraggly looking Barbies and one dark haired Ken doll. The Ken was definitely [...]

Can Sat Nav break your kid?

Ok, might sound a bit weird this, but I think it’s a valid question, (in a kind of tongue in cheek way.) Can Satellite Navigation Systems break small children? Why on earth would I pose such a question? Well, this is the scenario. E, M, myself and Mr B are driving to Derby to pick up [...]

What’s in a name?

I’ve just got back from my friends house where there were a plethora of new born babies, 7 to be exact. A group of us mum’s meet up every Thursday to have a cuppa and let the kids play. My M is the youngest of round one, i.e. all the toddlers now aged between 2 and [...]
