A Lidl Bit Spoilt

All right, I admit that, ever since my return from my Disney exploits (and I promise I’m not going to tell you more about them, really!) I’ve been just a tiny bit spoilt. I’ve now just about given up expecting a buffet breakfast to be set before me when I totter downstairs of a morning, …

Never too early to start ….

This is a simple ahhh, or perhaps OMG! moment, courtesy of my lovely friend C, who lives Abroad and whom we all miss a lot ….just click on the link: http://www.snotr.com/video/2630 Dulwich Divorcee

A moo approach

IT strikes me that perhaps I have taken a slightly ‘glass half empty’ approach to the cow pictures I showed you over the weekend. It’s true that the cow looks like a bit of a sitting duck, to use a worrying cross-species metaphor, as she waits patiently with her poor head stuck under the fence. …

A friend in need

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 …

No oil painting

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 …

The Joy of Socks

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 …

Holiday Help

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 …

Just what the doctor would have ordered if he hadn’t been too pig-headed to see us

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 …

Tag lag

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, …

Reunion

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 …
