The older I get, the more I adore romcoms. I’ve always had a soft spot for them – my favourite film of all time is Some Like It Hot – but now I don’t bother to pretend I like ’em quirky or with subtitles, I’ll frankly watch any old dross as long as it’s got a happy …
So I’ve been persuaded, recently, into the world of waxing. Various friends say that, if you’ve been doing it for 20 years, your hair more or less gives up the ghost and doesn’t bother to grow back. Of course, I haven’t been doing it for 20 years, but for some reason I decided to start …
For all those mummies whose children have gone back today and who are finally putting their feet up and enjoying the peace missing their little dears terribly, here are some wonderful TV memories from the lovely C in California: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQHB1zd1f5M&feature=related And: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5SxC1azbjY&feature=related Or even: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_Vh8JJR1OQ&feature=related Ah, the bitter-sweet sting of nostalgia! Will anyone ever sigh …
Sponsored post We came back from our many staycations (of which more in future episodes) to a satisfyingly huge parcel. It turned out to be from those delightful people at Tesco! As you see from the pictures, a frenzy then ensued as we ripped open the brown paper, revealing a lovely big sturdy black box, …
Phew, we had a really busy weekend. No sooner had we washed the camping grass out of our hair, clothes, car, my handbag, and the cat (who didn’t even go camping) than we were off to make pizzas. Now I don’t particularly like pizza, and I had assumed this outing would be one of many …
I can’t belive no one told me about camping before! Well, obviously that’s unfair. People kept on telling me, and I just put my hands over my ears and sang a merry tune. What I can’t believe is that I didn’t listen when people told me about camping before. Yes, it can be a tad …
I never, ever thought this would happen. I’m in complete shock. I don’t know quite how it’s all come about. But I am doing something, tomorrow, that I always swore blind I would never do. Which I never thought I could ever be persuaded into. Which I’ve always thought should be made illegal anyway. Yes, …
Sponsored post When Weetabix asked me to try its new chocolate variety, I had a cunning plan. I’ve never been massively keen on Weetabix – the biscuits look too much like really harsh bathmats for my liking. But I do know that they are very good for you, being only wheat, and wholewheat at that. So I …
It was so lovely to be at the John Lewis Christmas do yesterday. It really made me feel I’d gone horribly wrong at the dingy careers office at my school 400 years ago. If anyone had told me it was possible to get a job decorating a beautiful listed building in shredded paper and covering …
So English Mum, that shining star of gorgeousness, has thrown down her oven glove gauntlet and challenged us all – yes, all of us, including you – to bake something fabulous. The prize for our efforts – and I am typing this in hushed tones – is a Green & Black’s hamper. Now I am completely …
