Thirty-fecking-three

Thirty-fecking-three

Thirty-fecking-three. This is the age I will become as of tomorrow.  Jeez.  When did that happen? I am not good with birthdays.  At all.  In fact I tend to dread them.  I think it is something about the need to be cheery.  If it wasn't for my birthday I probably would be cheery as it will be Friday.  Fridays aren't bad.  I'm not at work and daytime TV is better than on, say, Saturday. Am I making any sense?  No? Does this really look like the, heavily-edited, face of a thirty-three year old? Do these? (Images via celebritybirthdaylist.com) I guess this is where 'early thirties' ...

I’ll show you mine if….OO-ER!

I’ll show you mine if….OO-ER!

"I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours!" is the brand new meme from the lovely Alexandra over at Medicated Follower of Fashion. I discovered this lovely new blog, and meme, today while having a little mooch around on Love All Blogs.  Hats off to Mammasaurus and the team there, it is looking fantastic.  Though someone will SERIOUSLY have to sit me down and explain pinterest to me soon.  Am very confused intrigued bewildered. Any-hoo...what is this one all about then.  Well the lovely Alexandra shares with us a picture of something belonging to her, and then we reciprocate with a ...

Vintage Threads

I have been tagged in this meme by Her Magnificence Mother-Venting, and to be perfectly honest was far too scared not to comply as she shot the tag at my bum.  Ouch. She wants us to reveal our most ancient/loved/knackered bit of clothing.  You know.  The one that should have hit the rubbish heap YEARS ago but that you just can't bear to part with, even if it doesn't EXACTLY fit anymore.  The one destined to remain at the back of the drawer forever and dragged out when you are ill/sad/in need of comfort or simply not done the laundry in a while. Well here is mine... OK, so this is ...

Warning: Mother-Ranting.

November 25, 2011 By jbmumofone 18 Comments

Do you remember the days when supermarket shopping was, if not necessarily enjoyable, tolerable because you had a) time and b) money? Having a baby put an end to that straight away. However, todays little venture was quite possibly the worst supermarket trip yet. I hate hate hate going to this particular supermarket at the best of times as it is always stupidly busy, full of rude and often smelly people, a disproportionate amount of which are in those super-charged mobility scooters which clearly gives them right of way at ALL times. However, we have guests for dinner tonight and it is ...

I’m SO NOT a celebrity.

November 19, 2011 By jbmumofone 7 Comments

I’m SO NOT a celebrity.

This new meme is the work of the wonderful Kate on Thin Ice.  She has a stupendous blog so do pop on over and show her some love.  I have, very kindly, been tagged in this by the equally stupendous Hello It's Gemma.  Now you MUST head on over to her blog.  It is truly awesome. So what is this one going to involve?  Well it is in the style of the ITV travesty that is 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!'  So, take a deep breath, close your eyes, and now picture me emerging from my daily bathe in the rock pool, M&S red bikini on, slim, sexy.....too far?  Yep, bit too much of a stretch ...

Whoop, another one for the trophy cupboard!

WOOHOO!  I won an award!  God, I love an award.  And this one has been presented to me by the amazing MOTHER VENTING herself so is even more special.  (Not only is she a celeb, has written a fabulous book, but she has celeb mates too.  You know that Sharleen from Texas yeah?

Rule 1: Reveal seven secret things about yourself. SEVEN??? I have already divulged my secret love for Jeremy Kyle, Billy Joel and, *whispers,* my ...

Tweets you should NEVER start

Tweets you should NEVER start

Dear Folks, Tonight I made a mistake, for which I am truly sorry.  I made the fatal error of beginning to sing/tweet an annoying song.  This then put said annoying song into the heads of any poor followers.  So, this post is for those poor souls who, like I was, are DESPERATELY TRYING to remember what comes next while at the same time wishing they HAD NEVER READ that tweet.  Sorry folks.  Here it is and hope it helps...(WARNING: anyone who wasn't involved LOOK AWAY NOW) Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, shake the tree, Agadoo-doo-doo, push pineapple, grind coffee, To the left, to the ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
