A lifestyle blog
Random, as it suggests!
. As adults I think we call it “just being”. Just being allowed the time and space to be. To be whatever we want right then. As children it was either the time to make believe or to daydream. As adults this time to be is rare, and therefore precious. During the week I am busy being a working mum. A terrible cook. A mediocre wife.
. . One of the great things about blogging is the opportunities it brings, not just for me but for the whole family. I love being invited to events or taken to Africa with Comic Relief, but what I also love is sharing experiences with my family. We have some blinders, from VIP tickets to WWE to the FA Cup being on our coffee table and half of Fleet
. According to Collins this year’s word of the year is Binge-Watch. It could have been manspreading: eugh. Or clean eating: dull. Binge-watching though, I like. But then I would. I do it all the time, and apparently I am not alone. 90% of us do it according to a recent study. I do so much binge watching now that it has stopped me watching normal TV.
Asda wooden kitchen review I don’t know about you but not only am I not a huge fan of plastic tat toys I am a huge fan of wooden toys. There is something timeless about them, with a longevity that I love. That they once a living thing in a forest and not manufactured from some resin in a factory and shaped in a mould. I know that is
Last night we went to see Spectre. As the lights dimmed Mr B handed me a can of Pimms and said “I don’t think I have ever been to see a film this early before”. As I opened my mouth to say “have you never been to a matinee? 7.30pm is hardly early”. He then qualified the point with “I mean, it only came out yesterday”.
. Half term started this week, and boy do Ellie and I need it. She is shattered, I am exhausted. I had hoped that I would have some lazy mornings but obviously Mr B still has to leave the house at 6.30am and the dog still needs a wee. So they haven’t really happened. I have of course enjoyed not spending nearly two and a half hours a day
. This is a guest post, it is not written by me, but by a friend. A friend who needs to get these thoughts out of her head and asked me if I would publish them on my blog for them. If you can empathise with them I know your words of support would be welcome in the comments. * * * * * I have seen images referencing
. I was tipped off by Jonnie yesterday to possibly the most biased “review” he had ever read, involving one of our favourite pieces of kitchen equipment. As soon as he pointed it out to me I wanted to scream because as Jonnie said “it’s almost like appliance slander”. The review couldn’t appear more biased and to me smacks of “well I wasn’t allowed to keep the
. Don’t get me wrong, being lashed is no punishment that any human being should perform on another human being. It is barbaric and wrong. As is the removal of a hand for theft, and the beheading of drug dealers. I am not for one minute suggesting that Karl Andree deserves the punishment that his family are desperately trying to over-turn. Nobody could wish that on somebody. But there is a
I get lots of approaches every day asking me post pre-written content on my blog, or asking me to write something. Most of them I turn down. I also see opportunities and think “that won’t be a good fit so I won’t bother applying”. Working with Dove on their self esteem project was an opportunity I leapt at when I saw that Mumsnet were looking for bloggers with
Is basically a fiasco. Well actually that is not quite true. Not all of it is. I have some very hard working friends who are keen and conscientious exam markers so this post is not directed at them. I know they are under huge amounts of pressure, not being paid a huge amount and are all doing their best and also caught up in a system that is,
. I see you have a book out on Thursday and as such you are doing the rounds drumming up publicity for it. So I guess you really have no choice but to talk about the book, your life, and more importantly your marriage. And it is that more than anything that has made me feel the need to write to you today. The headlines screaming out are that you
