My Dalek And Me…
Today is our first wedding anniversary! I can’t believe it has already been a year, where on earth does the time go? Although I think the answer here is probably something along the lines of…. Time flies when you are having fun…. cause oh boy have we had fun over the last year. We have…

Out Of Office
I am on holiday… or more correctly WE are on holiday. This will be our first family holiday together since Sir moved to the UK to live with me and my children. For those of you who don’t know that back story we met on-line and had a long distance relationship for a period of…

Having my cake…
24th November 2011 I nearly didn’t write one of these Thanksgiving posts this year. I think because he is not here today I have felt rather removed from the whole Thanksgiving band wagon. I know that will change on Saturday when we introduce 6 of our wonderful friends to the joys of a traditional Thanksgiving…

Fireworks!
5th November 2011 Remember, remember the Fifth of November, the Gunpower Treason and Plot, I see no reason why Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot. Tonight is Bonfire Night in the UK, also know as Guy Fawkes Night. It is traditional in the UK to celebrate this event with fireworks, food and friends. Lots of…

Time Lord
26th September 2011 I just noticed that Josie’s prompt this week for her writing workshop is ‘time’ and so here I am wasting a bit more of it to write this, or at least I am pretty sure that would be my Mother’s view on it but I digress, into dangerous rant infested waters and…

The Immaculate Deception
19th April 2011 Once upon a time my son came home from school with a reading book entitled ‘The Christmas Story’. He sat next to me after dinner and started to read, this is nice I thought, as he read to me about angels visiting Mary and Mary and Josephs mad dash to Bethlehem by…

Thanksgiving
25th November 2010 I have 2 other posts already written and waiting to be posted but I have decided to put them on hold to just say a little something about today, because today is Thanksgiving. I know I am a Brit, but I seem to have also become an honorary Murrican and so today…

Happy Birthday Son!
17th September 2010 Dear G Today you are 11. I can’t quite believe to be honest. It seemed like only yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time. You stared up at me with this real little frown on your face as if to say, well this all very confusing. You…

The Rumour Room
6th September 2010 I know I have lots of readers, my blog stats tell me that, some of them regular visits and some of them who come by as one offs. It seems that many of those one off’s stick around though and come back to read time and again. I am delighted to have…

A Mummy moment!
Febuary 16th 2010 Last week it was parent’s evening at my children’s school. It consisted of the usual old blah, blah, have a look at their work, talk to their teacher, all the while hoping for no nasty surprises, and all went well, that is, until we got to speak to my son’s teacher. At…

I am the one and only…….
10th February 2010 Hands up all you lonely children?! Opps….sorry, of course I mean only children! *waves her hand in the air and giggles. Yes, that’s me, an only child; one of those strange freaky creatures who have no idea what it is like to have a sibling, and who has to endure their parent’s…

Chalk and Cheese
January 31st 2010 Is it me, or is it her? Maybe it’s the combination of the 2 of us; we really are chalk and cheese. She is a total pessimist who can turn everything and anything negative, everything is about her, and I cannot remember the last time I saw her laugh, and I mean…

Children’s TV
January 28th 2010 A couple of days ago in my daily newspaper there was a piece about the state of children’s TV in Britain today, a summary of which is that it is underfunded. No surprises there I guess, children don’t vote after, and although they are powerful consumers times have been tough and even…
