A lesson in Facebook stalking
Stalk surreptitiously. Make sure you don’t accidentally ‘like’ something on your stalkee’s wall. And if your finger DOES slip; ensure you ‘unlike’ it straightaway. If not, you will experience an unpleasant jolt in your stomach when you finally notice the mistake – possibly many days later – knowing that he and all his friends will …
The road to employment
I am really grateful to the wonderful author of Taking Candy From a Baby for giving me this Versatile Blogger award. I do wonder at her choice though: could it really be said that I am versatile in my writing? Thus far my blog has consisted of revealing some fairly disturbing truths about myself…with a few …
Caption Saturday
Sam learning not to stick his tongue out at strangers… Saturday is Caption Day over on Mamasaurus’ blog and this week I’ve decided to join in with this multiple entry. Would love your comments on what you think the caption should be!
Size matters
Yesterday at gymnastics, some mums were discussing hair colour, and turning to me, one of them said ‘we’re alright – having blonde hair at least means our greys don’t show up as bad’. I AM TWENTY TWO! I know I’ve grumbled about the early onset of middle-age but I wasn’t being altogether serious; if anything …
An award? Me?!!
Thank you to http://bothabunch.wordpress.com for bestowing this mighty accolade on me and my fledgling blog. I’m glad you’ve spotted it in its early stages before I’ve run out of things to say. To deem myself worthy, I apparently need to tell seven secrets about myself. This might be quite difficult as I’ve already revealed enough secrets …
I’m a celebrity!
I’m not really into this kind of thing (I love doing them but wonder whether anyone will bother reading to the end) BUT I was EXTREMELY flattered to be tagged by http://kateonthinice.wordpress.com …and actually as I answered the questions I discovered it brought out yet more disgraceful information about me; so perhaps it’s worth adding …
Almost 23 years OLD
Today wasn’t a particularly good one for the ol’ body confidence. Ok, so it’s my fault that I haven’t had my roots done in 3 months; but, if I’m honest, I have become quite intrigued by how fast hair grows…and there is a part of me that wants to continue the experiment (in the same …
Sometimes wrong is better than right
There are times in life when it seems vitally important to do and say the right things: This is particularly true for me now; at a time when I’m spending every evening writing cover letters and re-jigging my CV. It is important to not only make myself sound right for each job, but also to …
Ice cube fish
This morning Sam thieved a fish-shaped ice cube from the freezer. He put it to his mouth and immediately let out a little cry of shock as he discovered the fish was stuck to his lip. He began trying to yank it off, so, fearing for the safety of his skin, my automatic reaction was …
Big bum
I should probably explain the title of this blog. It’s quite simple really. My son is learning to talk and is at the stage where he repeats random words and phrases. This is extremely exciting for a parent but it does make life fairly difficult. It feels a little bit like a job interview – …
