My dear friend Dulwich Mum is probably better known for her impeccable taste in doggies (she has a divine cockapoo) than for her ardent political activism. But there is a time when even the most dedicated of Dulwich mothers must throw down her frappucino and man the barricades in pursuit of truth and justice. Or …
I’ve been thinking about setting up a Book Club here for a while, but all the talk of finding niches at Cybermummy has made me feel I should stop shilly-shallying and just get on with it! You may have noticed that I have a little box on the right-hand side listing a book I’m reading …
Well, off I went to Cybermummy 11 and good fun it was too, so thank you so much to Tesco Real Food for my ticket. I’m not sure if I’m really a conference person, though. The bits I enjoyed were meeting blogging friends, eating cupcakes, eating the lunch (is there a theme developing here?) and …
I’m a bit nervous about Cybermummy 11 tomorrow. To be honest, if lovely Tesco Real Food hadn’t sponsored me, I would probably think of a million reasons not to turn up. These would range from taking Child One to her Duke of Edinburgh volunteering, which she insists on calling her ‘community service’, to getting a …
This is my entry for lovely Tara’s Three Word Wednesday Gallery. On Sunday I had a brainwave. The very big chair upstairs would look better downstairs. I was definitely right (I always am). But there was a problem. I was alone in the house. And the big chair was very big. Very, very big. Because …

Sponsored post Having interviewed Lorraine Kelly last week I was really keen to crack on with making her beef and ale pie, which is her recipe as part of the Tesco Real Food Challenge, but of course I had to wait until the stars were in the right conjunction … or rather, for a moment …
Sponsored Post Isn’t it amazing that Nivea is 100 years old this year? It was the first beauty product I used, and I remember feeling tremendously sophisticated when I unscrewed the cap on the cleansing milk. And then feeling terribly disappointed as I poured it into my palm and half the bottle went down …
This is a bit of a belated update, and I must admit I only really remembered to post it because it’s the same dismal weather here again today, but on Sunday we went to Capital Radio’s Summertime Ball. I used to listen to Capital as a teenager – I even won a T-shirt in a …
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been driving back on the school run when I’ve suddenly thought, ‘what on earth am I going to cook tonight?’ How ridiculous is that? After all, there are always the same number of meals a day. How is it that I always tend to forget supper? Of …
