I am hugely indebted to G for this totally, utterly and completely naughty snippet from someone, somewhere at our august BBC. What on earth do we Brits pay our licence fees for? The language! Readers of a sensitive nature may care to look away now ….
So nice to see a bit of grass without snow on it …… …..even if it’s on a car. Though Child One said as we drove past, ‘don’t these people know that their company looks like it’s called Easig Ass?’
As a little New Year’s treat to myself, I popped over to Josie’s writing workshop – what a brilliant idea – and was slightly horrified to find that the first suggestion on her list chimes with one of my guiltiest secrets. What do you seem unable to learn or remember, no matter how hard you …
Lovely Linda from You’ve Got Your Hands Full and Have a Lovely Time has tagged me and asked me to write about my five best bits of 2009. It can be complicated for me to write much about my girls, Mr X or True Love, as they have no right of reply (unless they start …
