February 28, 2010

I’m sure by now you’ll probably heard of Heather at Notes from Lapland’s most excellent Secret Post Club.
It’s a lovely postal gift swap in which each month every member is secretly assigned a recipient then sends them a little something in the post. It could be homemade, bought, something loved that you want to pass [...]

Otherwise Engaged

February 27, 2010

I’m not here today. No really, I’m not. I’m otherwise engaged.
I’m away for the night with some fabulous girl friends.
I’ll be somewhere nowhere near as posh as kind of similar to this:

Hopefully there’ll be window shopping, chatting, laughing, eating, and if we’re lucky, maybe even a bit of this:

You may find me in a slightly [...]

Hot or not?

February 26, 2010

Thank goodness it’s Friday!
Ready for some of our usual Friday fun? Lets go.
Last week Mr Robbie Williams received a decidedly lukewarm reception. It seems his popularity amongst (ahem) women of a certain age has definitely diminished somewhat since the 1990’s. I wonder if he got the memo?
This week’s young man gentleman is brought to you [...]

Not Perfect

February 23, 2010

There are days when I find being a mummy hard. When I’m tired beyond belief and haven’t had a moment’s breathing room.
Days when the routine lulls my body into a monotonous rhythm and I feel as if I’m sleep walking through my life. The only contact with ‘the outside world’ comes from random online encounters [...]

Insecurity – A ‘Slummy to Yummy Mummy’ Style Challenge Update

February 22, 2010

Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who responded to my pathetic cry for help, both here and on Twitter.
There was a plethora of excellent advice and suggestions for me to take on board which I hoped to translate into actual clothes.
So, yesterday afternoon, the long suffering husband dropped me off at the local giant [...]

This is a sponsored post.
It’s that time of year when everyone is getting just a little bit fed up of the winter here in the UK.
After one of the coldest winters in a long time, and with summer seemingly a long way ahead on the horizon, lots of folk are beginning to get the wanderlust [...]

The Fear

February 20, 2010

In a short twenty five days, and ironically on my birthday, I’m due back at work after my maternity leave ends. By the time I return I will have had almost eleven glorious months at home. The days I have left as a stay at home mum are flying by, and with each passing hour [...]

Hot or not?

February 19, 2010

Friday has found us again and what better way to round off the week than with a bit of hot or not?
Last week Josh Holloway was extremely well received. So far he seems to the ‘Hot or not?’ front runner in 2010, an honour I’m certain he’s very proud of indeed.
This weeks contender was chosen [...]

Love the Garden

February 19, 2010

This is a sponsored post.
Our garden isn’t much to write home about. For the last 10 years it’s been a slow work in progress.
Still though, one thing on my ideal wish list remains absent.
A lawn.
This year I’ve finally persuaded my husband to put the icing on the cake and we are going to lay ourselves [...]
