In the run-up to my blog-o-versary here is my second blog gem. This is a post that I wrote as part of the A-Z Bloggers challenge earlier this year. It was early on so I hadn't run out of steam then... Dear Bottom, I feel that our relationship has changed of late. We used to be so good together. I knew that you had my back. But now, I feel like you are growing away from me. Slowly but surely. And as you grow from strength to strength I feel smaller in comparison. I feel like I am having to carry the weight of this burden. We weren’t always like this. Perhaps I ...
Treat your Dad This Father’s Day: Old Guys Rule
This last weekend was spent back visiting the folks in Stratford Upon Avon. After a lovely day at the races, where Mr B broke his run of extraordinarily bad luck and backed his first ever winner, we stopped off at a local pub on the way home. This being race day it was packed but three very kind souls let us share their table. One of these kind souls was a very nice bloke called Tim who turned out to be the chap in charge of one of my favourite shops in Stratford, Old Guys Rule. For those of you who have not come across them yet they have several stores throughout the UK but are also ...
H is for Hilarious!
Ok, so this is kind of cheating as I am going to point you to hilarious stuff that other people have written, but I figure that is in keeping with the spirit of the blogging from A-Z challenge. It is all about finding great new blogs right? Here are five posts that I have recently read that not only made me laugh on reading, but also later when I would randomly recall them at work, unprofessional, in the supermarket, embarrassing, in the middle of the night, does not aid insomnia. But I promise, they are worth it. They are just brilliant. Q and A with Harriet Spinster from ...
E is for “Encrypted Search Term”
Just recently this here blog has begun to scare me a little. On an almost daily basis now someone finds el blog via an "encrypted search term". WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? I have NO idea, but it scares the bejaysus out of me me a little. Are the government spying on me? Have I randomly written some tenacious phrase that has sent alarm bells ringing in GCHQ? Am I now one of MI5's most watched? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? On reflection, I am pretty sure it is none of the above and actually down to some nerdy computer-speak that I am thus-far unaware of. However, some people have come ...

B is for Bottom
Dear Bottom, I feel that our relationship has changed of late. We used to be so good together. I knew that you had my back. But now, I feel like you are growing away from me. Slowly but surely. And as you grow from strength to strength I feel smaller in comparison. I feel like I am having to carry the weight of this burden. We weren't always like this. Perhaps I have not been giving you enough attention. Please let's go back to the way things were. *Squats*. Anyone else slightly worried for how April may turn out? ...
Ten things I tell myself every day
I have been tagged in this lovely new meme by its creator, the wonderful Mum of Three Boys. She has shared with us the 10 things she tells herself on a daily basis and is asking us to do the same. Isn't talking to yourself the first sign of madness? Or is that asking yourself if it is the first sign? I forget. So my ten daily doses of wisdom, questions and angst... Five more minutes....*yawn* Tetley tea = breakfast. It has calcium and vitamins...right? The scales are clearly broken again. ANOTHER grey hair. Are you kidding me? Is it time for W's nap yet? Do ...

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.

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 ...
Arf Arf…
I just put ham and pineapple in a sandwich. Thats Hawaii roll. Mr B was sent this joke by a friend at the weekend. We had been having a rubbish day and were both quite stressed. This reduced us both to giggling, tearful heaps. I have decided I need a few more of these in my arsenal to cheer me up in stressful times and need your help. Come on folks, give me your best-worst joke. I am running this one as a blog-hop so feel free to grab the code and hopefully spread a little joy around the blogosphere. The link will remain open all week. Powered by Linky Tools Click here to ...
