Queen of Flatpack

Wednesday, April 29, 2009

I am so proud of me. Maybe its sad, maybe it’s girlie, but I am proud. You see, today I bought a new TV stand. For 3 weeks my TV has perched on an Ikea box table that was actually outside the house when we came here. (I cleaned it and de-spidered it, I promise.) But no longer. AND… Even [...]

It was fantastic. Even though our train was an hour late. Even though it then broke down. Even thought we caught the wrong tube. Even then, it was fabulous. Right now I am a little erm, overwhelmed and will not be long for bed. Nothing to do with late nights or alcohol I promise. So for now I will [...]

As you read I will be swanning around old London town with my fab sister-in-laws and my gorgeous big sis as this is hen weekend part 2. We’ll have caught the 10am train, arrived in London about 12.00am and will hopefully have met up with my sister and about 15 of her friends at Richard [...]

Snow place like home

Apparently we are getting more snow tonight. A big part of me (probably my bottom) is happy, so so happy, because I love waking up to that tell tale brightness outside my window. I love it when a fresh new coat of white has enveloped the ground. I love that it hides the fact that [...]

I shake my hands like this and I shake my feet like that

Tonight I am all a jangle. A shaky quivering mass of jellied limbs. I am aware of the blood racing through my veins, puzzling it’s way from organ to organ. My brain is adrift and unable to direct the streaming platelets yet they go on doing their job inspite of the fuzziness of my thought [...]

My first night in since Tuesday and I’m exhausted. It’s been the best week though. Last night I got in at 3am having danced my bottom off. I watched it wander out of the room with a strange man but it seems to have returned unharmed as it was there when I woke up this [...]

Tonight I’m off to my lovely friend Claire’s house for a Virgin Vie night. I have my eye on a nude lip liner that I really like, and there’s always a ton of other gorgeous stuff. I could also do with some of that weird green foundation that is meant to even out your complexion [...]

Random Ponderings of sleep deprived mother

Why is it that jobs that you think will take about an hour or so usually take about 5? Answers to jo@jobeaufoix.com Anyway, it is 11.46pm and I have just returned from my parents house where I was helping my dad out with a few jobs. Mr B is beside me fast asleep but not snoring as [...]

Misty Eyed Heroines

When I was a child I used to really worry about old style actresses. In all their black and white ethereal beauty, with their dark pouty lips and small slender hands that were almost painfully female and breakable. I used to worry and ponder while admiring their shimmering perfectly coiffured hair and amazing hour glass figures [...]

I Spy Explosions

Miss M doesn’t quite get the concept of I-Spy. She knows her letter names and can recognize some but is less able on her sounds yet which is fine as she is only 3 years old. Nevertheless she likes to play I-Spy, which tends to mean anyone playing with her goes through something [...]
