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 ...
#ISpy: I spy with my little eye something beginning with Q
*Shrieks* NOTHING begins with Q...except Quidditch. Perhaps I could take a photo of a Quidditch stick...if they were real....AAAAARRRGH! Why did I pick Q? *Tears hair out* Well, actually I know why. So that I could link this up with today's A-Z bloggers challenge which just happens today to be Q. It was SUPPOSED to make life easier. Dammit. This is all I've got folks but it is SOOOO easy. First one to link up can choose next week's letter...but DO NOT pick Z. Well, you can if you want to. If you managed to find ANYTHING beginning with Q please take a quick snap and linky on up ...
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 ...

M is for Magpie
On entering the park with W today I spotted a lone magpie. I automatically saluted in order to try and counteract the superstition that the sight of one magpie will bring sorrow. "One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told." I am not sure where I picked up this particular superstition though it may have been my Dad as he spent my entire pregnancy updating me on the predicted sex of my baby according to the number of magpies he had spotted that day. I have also picked up a few others along the ...

L is for Lipstick
I recently spent a week back at my folks place over Easter and, on leaving, accidentally forgot to pack my make-up bag. (I also forgot my hair-straighteners, diary, W's night-lights and my work-key. Disaster.) This actually concerned me more than I thought it would. I am not a HUGE make-up wearer you see. I know plenty of friends who would not dream of leaving the house without their lipstick or mascara on but I have never really been one of those women. In fact the only lipstick phase I went through was in my teens where Rimmel's pale sugary-pink, (think Twiggy) or black-cherry (think ...
