Break Up Make Up

Thursday, August 20, 2009

My Mum doesn’t wear a lot of make up. Don’t get me wrong, she doesn’t need to, and I’ve always tended to go for the fairly fresh faced look as well, not necessarily because I don’t need it, but perhaps more because I’m a bit of a coward and also I’m a bit pants at applying [...]

I’ve just jumped out of the shower and am sat naked on my bed answering a quick email. Miss M is lying beside me, and as I concentrate on the screen she prods me with her little pointy toe. Then she prods again, harder. Then harder. And she’s laughing her head off. Me: ”Ow. What are you doing to your [...]

Why is it that when I am really too tired to blog I feel the need to splurge something out on the page? It’s almost like some weird rebellion against myself, some kind of ‘beat the droopy eyelids thing.’ I’m not going to give you the full run down of the day yet as I [...]

Honest. Tomorrow morning I can truly say, almost for definite, that all will be right with the world. We’ve sorted it. That’s what happens when girls get together. I don’t know why governments don’t think of this. Seriously. Stick all the world leaders in a room, with me and my mates, and we’ll sort it. No [...]

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 [...]

So, was it good? 10 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined I’d ever attend a “mainstream” music event. I suppose like most young people I was in awe of the world I was discovering and the fact I’d found a place for me in it. I was relieved I had found music I could be passionate [...]

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 [...]

Well, I was going to dress up as Cher and pose in a variety of fright wigs for your enjoyment tonight, but I can’t because I keep seeing the new Tena lady ad and it is driving me insane. You know the one don’t you? A visual of 3 annoyingly smug and kind of tweedy looking women [...]

Mr B is poorly sick. So, today when I had planned a ton of tidying, cleaning, organising, and possibly a drink with a friend, instead I have my two little monkeys tucked up in bed. He did manage to take them for their hair cuts and a McDonalds, but an over night stay [...]
