Here’s the deal - when you look on the back of bog standard cat food, at the nutritional information, you will see that their food contains 4% meat. Yup, 4% for a carnivorous animal. So I decid...
Frightened.
I don’t think I’ve been so politically scared since the 80’s along with its talk of The Button. Trump, (Brit slang. n. fart) who was amusing at first, is just becoming damned scary. Hell, I’d we...
A running entry!
I’m in full on nag-mode. Well, this should go without saying since I want the girls to get ready for bed! T is walking around, shivering, like an ethereal creature from a Victorian novel, with a...
The answer.
For all those who felt the answer was a trick let me assure you that it wasn’t. It was a question on a year 6 (age 10/11) maths paper and I gave it to the kids. Interestingly some of them either ...
Thank you!
I appreciate your support at my self pity party yesterday!! I was just frustrated because I hate needless and really have to psych myself up to give blood! Ah well. Feeling flat, spring is sprung...
.
Feeling disappointed. I went to give blood and went dizzy. It was only for a few seconds but they had to stop the donation 😞
Reality check. The well-I-guess-I'd-better-write edition.
WHERE: it’s Wednesday morning, my friend has dropped off her keys so I can let her dog out later, our new tv will be installed after lunch so I’m taking advantage of the time and having a hot bat...
family rooms and lovin'...
Intimacy in a family room isn’t easy, We’re lined up, all four of us. Rich and me in a double bed while the girls have a single each. But we’re on holiday, relaxed and without the need to do stuf...
We're all going on a...
I’ve been up since O 5:30 - what does the I stand for? Oh my God it’s early!! (Who can tell me what movie that quote is from and what the actual time was… 😎). We’re driving to Brighton this eveni...
Waiting to crash.
I had those type of weekend plans, you know the ones. You don’t? Well, make yourself comfortable and I’ll begin. Feeling a certain amount of boredom at the weekly trail around the supermarket wi...
Marriage survey
How long have you been married? This coming summer will be our thirteenth anniversary. Is this your first marriage? On paper, no. But emotionally, yes. Is it how you imagined it would be? We knew...
Formal work and farts
I’m not known for formal work, you know the kind where you turn up looking smart, work set hours and do what is required by the boss. My history of work, apart from 11 years as a nanny and 7 as a...
Bandwagon survey.
1. Was 2015 a good year for you? Why? I’ve seen a lot of people ready to leave 2015 because it has been awful but I can’t see how a year could be all awful or all good. Shit stuff happens, good ...
Gingerbread house
Today’s advent calendar task was to decorate a gingerbread house. We didn’t bake it this time though, we bought the gingerbread ready made. Oh look, a kitten! Oh, and sparkly toes!
Bike mad
When I started writing here I was a bit of a bicycle nut - I cycled to work through London taking in the Thames path, Richmond Park, Putney Heath and (in winter) the south circular! I lived tinke...
Me? Again?!
I’ve wrapped all the pressies! I have discovered that Lila has one more than Talaia… However, Talaia’s main present cost more than twice that of Lila’s so I could use that to appease her… Now I h...
Chain of events...
Not unlike the Sainsbury Christmas ad… I just had a chain of events. I was watching Russell Howard’s Good News and thinking that I should go for a wee after eating my satsuma. A very funny momen...
Reality check. The coughing edition.
WHERE: in bed. It’s 9.30 and I’ve been here for over an hour! I must rest as I’m back at work tomorrow. WEARING: white M&S bra (cheap pack of 2 type), Joe Brown owl patterned dress and a swea...
The sick - the update
I think I shall be returning to work tomorrow. Sadly I’m missing out on school Christmas dinner today. Boo! I’m not sure anyone would have liked me coughing all over them though! I slept far bett...
