Many thanks to my dear friend A, who passes on this valuable advice: ‘Sometimes you can go too far. You can over-reach yourself. You can even get stuck in a tricky situation. So, for everyone having a difficult day, here’s a gentle reminder …….. …..that, no matter how bad you think things are, there’s always …
It’s half term and my nose is just about peeking out over a mound of discarded tissues (the final frontier of Child Two’s faux swine flu) and scrumpled bits of revision (Child One has exams the moment she gets back to school). Sigh. I love every minute with my cherubs, but this is still an …
True Love has bought me such a lovely present. Sigh. There is no other phrase for it but the joy of socks. Yes, six little sockies for my darling iPhone! Clever True Love, going straight for my current Achilles heel (ha – I’m continuing the sock/foot theme there, did you see?). As everyone knows, I …
For all those who are on their own this bank holiday, because they’re going through a difficult divorce, because they don’t have custody, or simply because they forgot to get married in the first place, my dear friend E has sent this little joke. Actually, I think it’s one of those rather-unfair-but-still-very-funny ones, and I’d …
Thank God, Child Two is feeling a lot better this morning. This is not due to the concerned attentions of our GP, I should point out. When I rang yesterday to get her an appointment, I could almost hear the receptionist backing away when I mentioned the words ‘Dulwich’ and ‘Fever’. ‘Don’t come here, don’t …

Eeeek! I’ve just noticed that the lovely Rosiero of Alcoholic Daze tagged me yonks ago while I was swanning around Florida with the divine Disney 7. If I’d had half a brain, I could have combined my answers with the tag from Jennifer at Alpha Mummy. But I don’t. I hope you don’t feel neglected, …
I had some really serious, and some not so serious, stuff to blog about today – all kinds of twinkly, sparkly stuff about the wonders of the blogosphere and the odd frisson of nasty worry over Child Two, who has suddenly developed a temperature ….but instead, I’m going to make you sit down and watch …
Am I the only person to find the current Muller yoghurt TV and radio ads quite disturbing? I’m fine about them all licking the lid of life, in fact I rather like the gusto, even though it might be a bit insanitary (we in swine flu afflicted Dulwich are very concerned with hygiene at the …
It’s very odd, but ever since I got my iPhone a month ago, I have suddenly realised what it is to be in step with the rest of the world. You see, as a rebellious second child, I have spent my whole life not-quite-conforming, sometimes on purpose, sometimes by accident. Take my school career. I …
It’s always a deep joy to discover that I don’t come from the most dysfunctional family on the planet. I’m truly indebted, again, to the lovely Laura from Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy? for introducing me to a website which has given me fresh hope for my gene pool. Come on, now, take my …
