The End.

October 19, 2017 by

I’ve said it all before. I’ve tried to find the urge to blog again too, in various times and in various ways. But honestly? I don’t believe in it any more. I don’t feel safe doing it. The idea of writing something controversial and the meanness of what some people will do with that horrifies […]

Memories of Paris from my teens – and my teen.

March 25, 2016 by

On Monday, Expedia invited me to write about Paris and my memories of visiting there when I was younger. I wrote the post and had it ready to post on Tuesday morning. I’ve held it back until this morning and mulled all week about my feelings regarding travel, anxiety and living life without fear. The […]

An age old Christmas problem, fir real #terriblepun

December 16, 2015 by

The nation is divided, no doubt about it, between those who put away their beach wear and start hanging the Christmas decorations (no doubt peeling the sprouts as they go) and those who scrooge about decorations and put them up begrudgingly in the week before Christmas, muttering about it still being “a bit soon” as […]

The thing we don’t talk about #oooopsmoments

December 14, 2015 by

You know how they say that sometimes you open your mouth and your mother comes out? No? Yes? That doesn’t happen to me so much; my mum and I aren’t particularly alike and I’d need far more intelligent stuff to drop pearl-like and wisdom-y for me to sound much like her. 😉 However, there are […]

When habits cost the earth (and hit your pocket too).

July 24, 2015 by

Do you have shopping habits? I know I do. One of them, for reasons I can’t explain, is that if I go intro a shop to buy a set of ingredients or top up supplies (and it tends to be me who does this), if one or two of the items are on some form […]

Creative uses for catering supplies.

June 2, 2015 by

This weekend I went through my craft cupboard and chucked out 4 large laundry tubs of stuff that has been shoved in there and not used over the last 4 years. My girls are outgrowing crafting as fast as they are outgrowing parties and I’m not overly convinced that Bene is going to grow into […]

Bittersweet revenge.

May 8, 2015 by

I’m not normally a particularly vengeful human, though I admit there have been a couple of times recently when karma has bitten a bottom very sweetly. I admit that when Ed Balls lost his seat in the election this morning, I cheered. And then promptly burst into tears. It was a miserable night for many […]
