It’s just not cricketi

I love Mary Berry, there is something so calming about watching her programmes, a sense of what life should be like. It gives me the belief that I could calmly host a village fete in my garden and unflappably cater for hundreds of people. I dream of a summer’s day where we play a jolly game of cricket and then sit around the table and share a meal as a family; everybody’s smiling, everybody has manners and no bugger flatly refuses to eat the food in front of them. It’s a lovely day dream that I enjoy having whilst sat with my children, who resemble apes at mealtimes. For some reason they think ..read more

This is going to be controversial but sod it, in for a penny, in for a pound. I want to talk today about Jesus. NO! DON’T FUCK OFF! COME BACK! NOW! Now what i’m going to say is for anybody of any religion, or non religion or whatever you do or don’t believe. But first i’m going to talk about Jesus a bit. There are some things that I don’t think Jesus gives a shit about. I haven’t studied theology or philosophy or The Bible actually but what I have to say seems like fairly common sense: I don’t think Jesus cares that you’ve given up sweets or booze for Lent. I KNOW. GROUNDBREAKING YES?! ‘Oh you ..read more

So last year, Esther Coren did a Capsule Wardrobe series on her blog and honestly, it has been LIFE CHANGING. Having always struggled to put outfits together, it really has been brilliant and now I ALWAYS have something to wear, i’m not hopelessly floundering about wearing some bizarre combination. Woman knows her shiz. So slowly, piece by piece, I have been adding to my wardrobe – did I mention those Dinny Hall hoops I bought? I do find Bravissimo brilliant, the way they fit bras is completely different, they are so good at it. Not to mention that their selection of bras and swimwear is wonde ..read more

Stalemate

There is currently a stalemate occurring in my household between my husband and myself. It’s down to these; Yes, flowers. I am quite singular in that I don’t like to be bought flowers. Don’t get me wrong, I love them when they’re alive and they look terribly pretty but then they die and you have to deal with the foul smelling water and washing up the vase; it’s just something else to do. Perhaps when the boys are older, I won’t tut and roll my eyes but for now with all the washing, bum wiping, mopping up pee that I have on my plate, I just sort of resent it. I told you I was weird. Anyway, ha ..read more

Hoop-la

**This post is not sponsored.** Yes, i’m going to start bleating on about earrings again, however, stay, STAY! I just want to chat a minute… Gold hoops, I feel, still have a bit of a stigma against them, the domain of chavs and gypsies (according to my Mother) and I think a lot of people feel like that. But no, I want you to rewire your thinking because gold hoops are in fact, a classic, a style staple, an investment piece. My Dinny Hall hoops arrived and I have worn them all weekend, I love them more than I thought I ever could. Are you still unsure? Then can I point you in the direction of ..read more

Pyjamas vs. earrings

So after the vombug extraordinaire I really did think I need to get some pyjamas. I mean it’s just daft, a 34 year old woman not having proper jim-jams. I have some Christmas money that my Mum gave me so I COULD get some with that. Though what I have been really lusting after are a pair of Dinny Hall small hoop earrings. This is not some flash in the pan, i’ve been thinking about them for months since Esther Coren recommended them on her blog. ‘When I have the money, I shall get some’ I promised myself. The voice of my Mother rings in my head every time I look at them though. ‘Only gypsy’s we ..read more

FRIDAY The washing machine has once again packed in and I have to wait for Monday afternoon for the repair man to come back and take a look. David staggers in from work, having somehow trapped something in his back. I find it rather hard to sympathise, given that if the shoe were on the other foot, I would just have to get on with it. I do feel slightly guilty about going out for dinner though and leaving him with the three kids, especially as Tom is especially miserable this evening. “Damned teething” I mumble as I bolt out the door to my friend’s house for uninterrupted chat, food and wine ..read more

Eight months

The baby is eight months old, I really don’t know where that went. Between David working mainly in London; meeting the older twos’ every need and helping look after my Mother, it has just flown. He is now crawling and into everything, he hates being in his “prison” as we call his playpen and whenever he is put into it, grabs the gate, pulls himself up to standing and proceeds to howl at us all. He loves his brothers and they dote on him. That didn’t happen immediately; with Ruari and Tom there was an instant bond but it’s only recently that Jack has warmed up to him, we had a terrible and diff ..read more

The Walk of Shame

Ah students, look at you, all sweet, look at you tripping home on the walk of shame. Well, let me tell you, you have NO IDEA about what the walk of shame truly is and you will not until you become a parent (NB if you choose not to have children, this is probably as bad as it will get for you). No. The true walk of shame happens in the playground. Generally at pick up rather than drop off, when the teacher comes out and beckons you over with ‘Can I just have a word?’ ‘Oh fuck’ you think to yourself ‘here we go again.’ I have lost count of the times I have now done the walk of shame. Across you ..read more

Right, come on, look, you’re just going to have to do this, get your food for Christmas sorted. I KNOW, it’s November but it’s the END of November and then we will be in December which is always a bloody runaway train gathering speed toward Christmas. So do yourself a favour and get it done now. First off, what are you doing for Christmas? Have you any friends for supper? Are you having a drinks and canapé party? Are you hosting Christmas Day? Boxing Day? For myself, we are having friends for drinks on Christmas Eve afternoon, just us (and my Mother) for Christmas Day, Boxing Day will be cold ..read more
