Picture Credit Rule #2: Recipe for Success Just as it would be unthinkable to serve frozen TV dinners or re-heated leftovers to an honoured guest, these offerings should not be considered acceptable dinner fare for the man you adore. Give him a hearty home-cooked meal- one that’s prepared from scratch and seasoned with love. The [...]

There’s a meme going round at the moment and, though I haven’t been tagged, I thought I’d join in anyway (cue me being blackballed by the blogging community for having such temerity.) It’s amazingly hard to just pick one picture, since I have so many that conjour memories good and bad. Facebook is a very [...]

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a caption competition on Dulwich Mum’s blog (I will gloss over the fact that I appear to have won it because I was the only person sober enough the week before Christmas to come up with a clean caption and focus on the fact that [...]

Picture credit My life is no longer my own. Evidence: 1. I have a To Do list a page and a half long. My brain has turned to mush so if I don’t write it down, it’s forgotten in a breath. 2. I know I have feet and toes. I just can’t see them. I [...]

Yesterday I saw the first glimpse of green grass in over a week and went to bed giddy with excitement at the prospect of leaving the house for the first time since the New Year. DH burst my bubble at 4am when he announced that it was snowing again, so this morning I once more [...]

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 [...]

You get to Christmas and when people have stopped talking about presents and shopping and asking “are you ready?” they ask the classic rhetorical question: where did this year go? I wondered the same thing at 4am when I was lying awake being kicked by the Jumping Bean. I didn’t really get into blogging until [...]

It’s that time of year again. DH has gone out with the PD to pick up the Turkey (and buy my gifts, no doubt). I’m at home, struck down by Tonsillitis, although even if I wasn’t the remaining snow/ice would keep me indoors: I’m fairly confident that SPD and crutches do not go well with [...]

Poor DH- whenever he starts to wind down and think of taking a break (ie: Christmas, Wedding, arrival of the PD), work which has long been dormant suddenly bursts back into life and he has to fight fires and take control of it all. I won’t denegrate Solicitors, but let’s just say that they are [...]

The festive season approacheth, nay is upon us. The reason I know this is that there is Christmas muzak laying in all the shops, and there are 3 for 2 offers in every corner of the shopping centre. Bromley Christmas Market is up and running, featuring a Waffle and Gluhwein stand directly outside Mothercare (which [...]
