The Great Hungry? Cookbook Giveaway
Remember how the other day I was all “ooh, I love the Hungry? cookbook too much to give it away“? Problem solved! I pulled some strings asked nicely and have secured a second copy of the innocent cookbook to give to one of you lovely people. How do I enter the great ‘Hungry?’ giveaway, Jem? […]
The Driving Test
Whilst bathing Isabel last week, Karl and I were playing the “what noise does … make?” game. Lions say rawr, monkeys say “ooh ooh” etc etc. Karl then asks “what noise does mummy’s driving make?” Isabel replies: nee-naw-nee-naw Thanks kid. Anyway, this seemed like an appropriate way to lead into the results of my driving […]
First World Problems
I want to tell you all about my amazing daughter and how at 20 months she can already count to 15, identify several colours, name all of her body parts (including her “bits” – her words) and talk the hind leg off a donkey but I want to balance that with the guilt I feel […]
Oooh, what does this button do?
You mean if I type jizz in here and press the Publish button it appears on my website? Clever, that’s like one of those blog thingies. Aren’t they supposed to be updated regularly? Oh wait… (This is my sarcastic way of casually mentioning that I’m not dead.)
The Grand Plan
…by which I mean translating my apathy towards my weight/weightloss into something worthwhile and usable as a motivator. Having given it some thought — and thank you to those who shared your own weight dilemmas, experiences, etc; I know weight is a very personal issue for many — I have decided to work on the […]
Losing Weight
During Isabel’s early months I was dropping weight like nobody’s business – breastfeeding, yay! – and was having to eat like crazy so as not to die of starvation (slight exaggeration). Obviously now Isabel is very nearly 20 months old she’s feeding maybe 2-3 times a day (as opposed to every hour, ha) and so […]
Resorting to Child Labour
I’m so freakin’ knackered from all the moving malarkey that I’m resorting to child labour: But hey, at least she’s earning her keep ;D Move is progressing well, touch wood. We exchange contracts on Tuesday, and assuming the mortgage company get their arses in to gear and release the funds straight away we complete on […]
I Feel Old
I’ve spent that much time in and out of doctors and hospitals recently, I feel like I should be cashing in a pension. I had to see a dermatologist type doc a fortnight ago for The Suspicious Boob Mole. It’s no longer suspicious, mind you, as it’s completely harmless. Then Tuesday this week I had […]
No News is Good News?
I hope. We are no closer to getting the keys, or so it seems. Both Karl and I spoke to the solicitor last week and everything appears to be done on their side, they’re waiting on the seller’s solicitors. We’ve both emphasised the fact that we have handed in our notice which probably won’t achieve […]
