I need you in the morning, To stir me from my bed. I need you in the evening, Before I rest my head. I need you when I get to work, Or simply cannot start. I need you when I've had a shock, To calm my racing heart. I fear if there's a shortage, I simply will not cope. My friend, My rock, My daily fuel. My little mug of hope. I really need to stop writing odes to beverages. This is becoming a habit. ...

Are we nearly there yet?
With the summer holidays approaching many of us may have already begun to count down the weeks, or even days, until we can pack our bags, lock the doors and head off for a week or two of fun in the sun. For many of us parents though our excitement may be tempered slightly by the thought of flying with our children. Let's face it, flying is boring enough as an adult but for little ones it is no wonder that they may get frustrated with limited chance to move about, and very little to do for often hours on end. So, here are a few tips to try and and keep your journey as trouble and tantrum ...

R is for Robocall
Now as my regular readers know this here blogging challenge has been a little tricky at times. So much so that for J is for...I had to resort to browsing the dictionary. In doing so though I came across some fabulous new dictionary entries from the last few years. Here are my top five. 1. Robocall: a telephone call from an automated source that delivers a pre-recorded message to a large number of people. 2. Tweetup: a meeting organised by means of posts on twitter. 3. Frenemy: a person with whom one is friendly despite a fundamental dislike or rivalry. 4. Cheeseball: lacking ...

P is for Prodigy
The year is 1995. The location is Glastonbury. Myself, and eight close friends, have just finished our GCSEs, some of us that very morning. We are 16, full of hope, full of confidence, energy, eager for more excitement. We are young. And we are at a festival. This weekend will forever remain one of my most truly treasured memories. We were a group of schoolgirls, but good friends, who took ourselves off, drank a bit, smoked a bit, danced a lot, talked a lot and really just had a bloody good time together as friends. It was magical. I suspect none of us then had any idea that ...
O is for Olfactory
I took W to the park earlier today and on passing a couple of gossiping girls I caught the unmistakeable whiff of Jean Paul Gaultier La Femme. I was instantly transported back to my sixteen year old self. Young, confident, vibrant and hopelessly in love with a wrong 'un. It was amazing the rush, and strength, of emotions and memories brought about by a simple quick smell of a perfume that I used to wear. It got me thinking. I guess we all relate certain smells with certain memories or feelings. Here are some of mine... Chanel No. 5, my wedding day. Tom Ford Leather, Mr ...
