What a carve up!

by Ellie on October 31, 2009

We’ve been getting into the Halloween spirit today. Well, as far as you can with two kids streaming with colds. Big E donned his ‘Little Devil’ costume, and given his current ‘on form’ oscarworthy tantrums his attire was quite apt. Little E wore a totally non seasonal pink baby gro for the occasion. She’s not [...]

Hot or Not?

by Ellie on October 30, 2009

Friday. Hot or not? Wanna play? Last week the oh so gorgeous Simon Baker had me swooning to within an inch of my life. I had to resist the temptation to post him again this week. I’m sure there wouldn’t have been much protestation. Just a second while I click back and have another moment [...]

OK, so lets face it, my Wordless Wednesday is hardly wordless Not even close. More Wordy Wednesday than anything else as it happens. In a lazy ingenious attempt to kill two birds with one stone I’m splicing this week’s together with a great meme for you you (see what I did there?). Tara, her of [...]

It’s that time of year again when the mornings become darker, the days get shorter and the night draws in earlier. In case you’ve forgotten, on Sunday at 2am in the UK the clocks go back an hour. We’re leaving British Summer Time behind and heading back in to Greenwich Mean Time. Hurrah! You say. [...]

Hot or Not?

by Ellie on October 23, 2009

Can you believe Friday is upon us already? Seriously, I wish this merry-go-round would slow down a little! So, ‘Hot or not?’ time. Last week Kristina Rihanoff was a surprise entrant into our ranks. She received the usual mixed response but for me was hot because of her work promoting Breast Cancer Awareness. Oh, and I’d love, love, [...]

Two nights ago, for our anniversary, my long suffering husband Mr H and I escaped from the house and the children and pretended to be grown ups…… We had dinner for two in an actual restaurant. Not a pub, or a café. No children to wrestle with. Just Mr H and I, tête a tête. [...]

On Friday, on whim and without really thinking about it I had seven whole inches cut off my hair! I think I like it, although I’m not entirely sure…..
