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 …
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.

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, …

It’s always a deep joy to discover that I don’t come from the most dysfunctional family on the planet. I’m truly indebted, again, to the lovely Laura from Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy? for introducing me to a website which has given me fresh hope for my gene pool. Come on, now, take my …
I’ve been tagged by the wondrous Jennifer Howze from Alphamummy at the Times. Here are the rules of the meme: Respond and rework. Answer questions on your own blog. Replace one question. Add one question. Tag other bloggers.Here goes: 1. What are your current obsessions? I’m trying to get obsessed with Twitter, but seriously failing …
