.... Blub .... Splutter... Where do I start? Someone pass me a tissue! I've been given an award! That lovely Tara at Dawn Till Rusk who, by the way, I'm starting to believe I might have been separated from at birth, has presented me with this lovely bloggy award! I will skip the snot ridden Oscar style acceptance speech but I'm so chuffed!!Those who read here know I am a huge fan of the Tara lady but I can often be found frequenting other blogs from time to time. I think Other Half may be... Read Full Story
Yes.....I am it! No I've not become an overnight "It" girl sensation nor have I gone off and got a job in I.T. I've been tagged by notSupermum ... yay...my first Tag! I've seen them happening in the blogosphere and watched from the fringes, but up until today, have remained a tag virgin! Unlike notSupermum I am not such a quick learner...especially after a couple of glasses of Shiraz of an evening! I searched on Blogger Help for tags but it talked about HTML and widgets etc. Hhmmm...ask me... Read Full Story
So... my baby Small Child is so grown up that she's now at pre-school - I always find it emotional each time she takes the next development step on in her life, so god knows what I'll be like this time next year when she starts big school! Eeek... then I'll be an official School Mum and thrown in amongst the ranks of the one-up-man-ship-set and the look-down-your-nose-if-designer-sunglasses-and-Botox-allows brigade! Actually, seeing as I don't live in the middle of London I'm sure it wont be... Read Full Story
Monday was my first day working from home and it was all very exciting! I have decided to be very disciplined about this and vow never to be found busy typing away in my PJ's, hair unwashed with the television blaring in the background! Seeing as we don't have space for an office/study type room I decided to set myself up on the dining table. If we did have a room designated as such, I'm sure that Other Half would have claimed it by now as his "den" and it would contain such things as a play... Read Full Story
In honour of Tara Dawn till Rusk's request for birth stories, I'm going to have to oblige and tell you mine! If you don't do birth stories, I suggest you step away from the laptop! If you don't like the analogy of something the size of a watermelon being passed through an opening the size of a lemon then this is not for you! But in the interests of free speech and the fact that it gives me the excuse to post a photo of a very small, Small Child, or Gilbert as she was known then, I'm going to... Read Full Story
You see.... I knew they would come through for me and the red soled objects of desire! Saks are sending me the heel tips and they said that if I fax them my receipt they will reimburse me for the repair! Now that is customer service! God damn it.... yet another reason to love New York! Thanks Norma P, I will wear them out somewhere sophisticated in your honour! Read Full Story
Just look at my poor broken babies, lying there helpless on the dining room table - yes I know it's bad luck to put shoes on the table but seriously, can you get anymore unlucky than a Louboutin breaking on the first outing! If you can bear to look, you can just about see the silver screw poking out of the one laid down. OK, I know... cover your eyes again now! So... nothing from the main Louboutin email address in France -Mon Dieu, Sacre Bleu, Merde!! I did find a contact telephone number... Read Full Story
Yay!! Big Love to Wave 105 and Steve Power! They mentioned me and the blog today! (So this is what it feels like to be a ZZZ list celebrity?) Other Half had just done nursery drop off and was driving along when he hears his wife's, her blog and her child's name read out on the radio! I of course missed it as I was in the morning meeting - shucks! It was a very positive way to start the last day of my job. I felt buoyed up enough to believe that with a lot more shameless promotion, a... Read Full Story
Shameless promotion to follow... look away if you are not a SATC fan!I confess to listening to a favourite local radio breakfast show as opposed to the "achingly hip" alternative offered by the British Broadcasting Corporation. Call me an old fart if you like but I like what I like and I happen to like Steve Power at Wave 105! Whilst I was dropping off Small Child at nursery Other Half heard their deal of the day. Not only do you get to PRE-ORDER the SATC movie but it comes with the LOVE key... Read Full Story
The wedding is over, the happy couple are enjoying their honeymoon as I type, some sense of normality has been restored to the house...and it all feels a bit flat! "Groomy" (the artist formerly known as BIL), stayed with us the night before the festivities with Small Son who, together with Small Child, managed to get so wound up with excitement that they reached screaming pitch just in time for bath and bed! Other Half did a fab job as best man and took all his duties so seriously that he... Read Full Story
