I am stressed out. Signs that I am stressed include the following... Jaw-ache. TICK. I have been unconsciously grinding my teeth. A whole lot. Mouth ulcers. TICK TICK TICK Pervasive smell of bleach. TICK. OCD tendancy in full flight. Bathroom is spotless. I am, however, not entirely sure why I am stressed. This happens not too infrequently. And I know it will pass. But for now...my mouth, and mouth-bones, really hurt. But my house is clean. Silver-linings. The blog is scheduled to move to a self-hosted domain on Thursday. Maybe that is what it is. I am a bit ...
Situation Vacant
Job Role: Assistant Hair Fairy Location: South West Salary: 20 loopins per hour plus attractive bonus scheme Due to a sudden rapid increase in workload I now require an assistant to help with my current client. You will be required to work seven days a week between the hours of 11pm and 6am. Job security is extremely high in this position as the current client regularly applies various coloured chemicals, and work then starts over. She really is a gem. I can see by her look of surprise each morning that the quality of my work does not go unnoticed and for this to ...
Why I love Twitter…and my tweeps
It has been a particularly sad week for my family this week and we have all been feeling a bit down. Today I remembered that we had agreed to host a curry night for friends on Thursday. We had considered canceling but actually am sure it will do us good...but am so far MASSIVELY unprepared and am working from now until then. So, where does one turn in their hour of need? I tried twitter. Earlier today I sent a heartfelt plea for easy lamb curry recipes STAT. The fantabulous SAHDandproud came instantly to my aid and forwarded my plea to two other bloggers he thought may be able ...
My difficult dozen…
It would appear that although I had thought I may be a little lonely this week, after being abandoned by himself for his snow-board, you lovely lovely things are keeping me mightily amused. The tags just keep coming. I have been tagged by both the gorgeous Claire from A Boy with Asperger's and fabulous newbie blogger From Slummy to Yummy Mummy. They both gave me a list of questions to answer about myself but to spare you all I am just going to do half of each. Deal? 1. Which five people would you invite to your fantasy dinner party? Obviously Nigel Havers for his beauty, Stephen Fry ...
Firsts…
Another tag. YAY! *Reads rules* Oh. This one came my way via the wonderful Slightly Suburban Dad. I heart his blog verily but am not sure I want to share all of this. So, be warned, SOME parts may be a lie. First Boyfriend: Alessandro. My primary school sweetheart. I bumped into him on Christmas Eve a few years back and he is still just as lovely as he was when he was seven. Great guy. Italian. Kind of. Introduced me to his wife as the first girl he ever proposed to. He wasn't kidding. He had nicked all the plastic money from the reception class to buy my ring. He was ...
Open season…
If you ever start a sentence with "Do you mind if I ask...?", my advice would be stop right there. Chances are they will. So, any of you who follow me on twitter will know that on occasion over the last year a few people have asked if I am pregnant again. No I am not and yes I DO mind you asking, is generally the response. Followed by a bit of a rant. And a brief period of starvation. Thankfully the belly-busting is beginning to work and this hasn't happened for a while. Phew. What has begun to happen though, AN AWFUL LOT, is people asking if, though more often when, we will ...
Things to do before I’m forty…eek.
I have been tagged by the lovely Pink Oddy in this meme created by twopointfourchildren. The aim is to share with you a list of things to do before my next big birthday. For me this will be *COUGH* forty *AHEM* *COUGH*. Jeepers. Well, I have already set myself quite a large list to accomplish in the next few years so have decided to have some fun with this one. If I manage any of them you can be sure I will be telling you ALL about it. I reckon one a year until then should be do-able so here we go... 1. Kiss Nigel Havers...that dream is still with me, *sighs*. 2. Run a ...
7 x 7: My favourite blog posts
A tag! A tag! I love being tagged! This one is thanks to the delightful Cat from Yellow Days, why thank you. So this one has three parts. Thats ok, I can manage three. Share you with my seven best blog reads of the last week. NO PROBLEMO! Share with you seven more things about myself. SEVEN? MORE? You must know everything there is to know by now. Will give it a go. Tag someone else. Phew. Was sure that was going to involve another seven. *Mops weary brow*. Part One: My seven best blog reads of the last week 1. And then, if just for a moment, Michael Jackson made me ...
Listography: What a Mug!
It has been a while since I have joined in with a Listography but when I read Kate's today I could not resist. It appears we share the same obsession preference for choosing just the right drinking vessel at just the right time of day. Here are my top 5 mugs... For my first cup of tea in the morning... For 11 o'clock coffee... For any-time espresso... For afternoon/post-work tea... For post-dinner coffee... To see what everyone else is supping from head on over to the lovely Kate's via the magic button. How about you? Are you a creature of habit or will any old mug ...
…and relax.
I blogged some time ago about my lack of me-time. Well this morning I got some. An entire morning, no less, with Mr B at work and W in nursery. Did I savour every moment, enjoy every little minute, cram in all those lovely things I want to do but never seem to have the time? Did I? Well, this is how it went. Picture the scene. It is 8am, the boys have left and I am snuggled up in bed. Awake. Left ear fairy: Mmmmm go back to sleep Right ear fairy: You could always get up and clean the bathroom you know. While it's quiet. Left ear fairy: Shhh, no sleep. You said you were ...
