Big Bum International

During my brief absence from the blogworld, WordPress changed a few things; one being that you can now see all the countries from which people have viewed your blog. I was astounded. This is of no interest to anyone but myself, but I just couldn’t resist sharing my wonderment…. Hello to anyone who might be …

The magic lamp

In my last post I essentially voiced four wishes: #1: A house #2: A school #3: A man #4: A job/lottery win On Monday, I went to a viewing for a house. LOVED it. It immediately felt like home. We’ve been round quite a few now and for all the others I have tried to …

Hunting

I’m baaaaack! Thought I’d make a bit of a fresh start of it and change the appearance of this blog – quite a task for someone who is terrible at decision making. Let me know what you think. (Comments about the size of my bum in the picture will not be appreciated!) So, I’ve kept …

Where does he learn such things?

(Question for parents: when will I regain privacy in the bathroom?) ‘We need to do a bit of hoovering this morning Sam, but after that we’re going to…’ Sam cuts in: ‘Squeeze it out Mummy.’ ‘go into town and meet…………Hang on…did you just say …

Innocent mistakes

I am willing to place a sizable bet on the fact that I will somehow make a fool of myself every single day of 2012. I always wonder whether I am just a poor unfortunate soul who is fated to do a disproportionate number of silly things; or whether in fact everyone else is the …

Unforeseen horrors

Just when I’d got back on the writing wagon; feeling excited about my New Year’s Resolution to post more frequently… I hit upon a stumbling block that may well be impossible to recover from. All of a sudden my passion for writing has been swallowed up by something far, far, more serious, and I am …

Morning mischief

I haven’t yet fully lifted myself from the Depths of Doom (i.e. Horribly Indulgent Self-Pitying Stage), so think it is best to steer clear of writing openly about my emotions. But keeping going with this blog is something I get a huge sense of satisfaction and enjoyment from, so instead I will entertain you (hopefully) …

BFF (Blog Friends Forever)

Wowee…I’ve just been given another prize! And the best thing is I don’t even have to receive it on stage; therefore removing the standard anxiety of tripping up the steps. Win-win! Actually, win-win-win: this is my 3rd award after just 15 posts – really can’t believe it. You bloggy people are so supportive and kind …

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 …
