I felt I really should alert you all to a scary new advert which lurched out of the TV at me last night. It featured two implausibly attractive young things, with long, golden limbs, cavorting about on a rug. You can picture it – they are carefree, gorgeous, they are so not fretting about whether …
I’m indebited to my dear friend C for this vital information which all women should take very much to heart. Needless to say, she is a fully qualified doctor (of philosophy ….. or something): “Do you have feelings of inadequacy? Do you suffer from shyness? Do you sometimes wish you were more assertive? If you …
Well, the girls have gone off on holiday, they’re having a lovely time and inevitably, I’ve ripped open the chocolate peanuts. I said I wouldn’t, and I lasted, oh, nearly six hours before tucking in.

I cannot BELIEVE it is a week since my last post, that is just so so so naughty of me, and there’s no excuse, except of course the crippling jetlag after our weekend in Wales. Oh, oops, that’s right ….no jetlag. Not even a time difference. It just feels as though I’m permanently a few …

As you know, I am an old hand at the Battle of the Sexes. If they were giving out medals for those who have entered this particular field of combat and emerged, bloodied but unbowed, I would have the Distinguished Service Order several times by now. Sometimes, as part of my continued effort to understand …
The girls were taken off camping this weekend by a dear friend who recognised that this was the only way the little angels would ever get a taste of life under canvas. I could just about manage a camper van, if there were enough Cath Kidston accessories thrown in, but I could certainly never cope …
Thanks to Joanne at Parentdish for including me in the Friday round-up. I’m a bit slow off the mark with the link (well, it’s the summer holidays …..I can hardly get up before 11 these days) but here it is: http://www.parentdish.co.uk/2009/07/17/mummy-bloggers-friday-roundup/ Dulwich Divorcee
I got the shock of my life when I popped in to tend my blog last night. There, just under my last post, was a large advert with a banner headline saying: ‘Sexy Arab Ladies.’ I must admit I did a double-take. How on earth had that got there? I am used to seeing the …
