Domestic Goddesque

Picture credit The last time I wrote about a Wife-guide, I got into the kind of trouble you never expect, but that has the potential to divide a family until the end of time. In making a point, I didn’t choose my words carefully enough and almost had to stop blogging altogether. So I have [...]

This was my original thought, though not very original at the moment (I’ll have you know I was ahead of the trend on owning this poster and have it in my downstairs loo.) It’s appropriate after a week of awful commuting experiences and poonami incidents from both PD and WH. The WH very thoughtfully rolled [...]

Well, I’m thirty years past one, but my little blog is one, or was last week. I was going to have a party- you know, pass-the-parcel, little sandwiches, a cake with candles, a few sugar-crazed kids and a bunch of parents necking Champagne. But then I thought, what’s the point?

I’m not one for reading newspapers at the weekends. DH has yet to be told this though- I don’t think he quite realised what a blonde I was when he married me (who knew I studied Politics and Economics?!) To perpetuate the charade, I gamely flick from page to page of the News of the [...]
