Do you ever wake up in the morning with a completely random thought in your head? This morning I had a thought that I just couldn’t shake off. It came with feelings of nostalgia, sadness and happiness…what ever happened to the BT Phone Book?! A quick Google search revealed that they do actually still exist. …
6 months this clock has been dead. 6 months, I have been checking a dead clock for the time. Today I put a new battery in it. And now my clock is going backwards. Have I discovered time travel? Let me know in the comments!
How many pushes did it take to get them all out (collectively)? How many pairs of hands have I had up my Hoo-Harr? How many gallons of breastmilk have I ever made? How many nappies have I changed? How many times have I heard “mummy”, “I need you” or “wipe my bum!”? How many times …
Ahhh, Facebook. You’ll casually be scrolling down; You BFF’s kids, funny cat videos and the occasional rude gif. Then BAM! an advert for a bizarre gadget from china pops up. “wtf is this?!” you ask yourself. So you download the Wish app, just to find out what exactly it is that you’re looking at. Recently …
I’ve had 3 calls today alone from very concerned people. All were wanting to speak to me about car accidents that I had been in, that were not my fault. Awful, awful accidents. Just terrible. Each caller were desperate to help me, and I am assuming, trying to put cash into my (rather empty) bank …
You may have taken a holiday with the kids in the beginning of the summer holidays, but afterwards it can be tricky to know how to fill the remaining weeks of the school holidays. Nothing is going to live up to that carnival on the beach in Costa Dorada or the camel safari trip over …
Being a mum, as you probably know, is tough. You go through months of pregnancy, followed by one of the most overwhelming and amazing experiences a human can go through when you actually bring your child into the world. Then comes the sticky fingers on the TV and car, crushed up crackers on the new carpet, and the dreaded teenage …
As Christmas draws to an end and the decorations get taken down, the reality of how much stuff we gathered over the festive period hits home. I’ve taken it all down early this year, stripping every sign of Christmas away like an ‘evil bad mummy’ (according to my 3yo) and today my living room is now restored to normal, …
IT’S HERE!!!! The UK Blog Awards have landed and it’s time for you to vote… for me obvs. I never normally do award ceremonies. In all honesty, I get the odd nomination then it never comes to any more than just that. But, for some weird reason this year I have gotten through to the …
Occasionally something pretty epic gets banned. One past Easter I covered the news story that an Aldi advert was banned, and now it seems that Heinz have fallen short to the Watchdog ruling finger. Fingers that won’t be tapping out the catchy Heinz beans tap tap tap song. Apparently, the can song is dangerous. OK, I get …
Anti-social Brits AVOID interacting with friends and acquaintances a staggering 284 times EVERY year – according to a new survey by confectionery brand Mentos. New research has revealed the extent to which we have embraced our inner hermit, with the average Brit regularly crossing the road to avoid neighbours and friends – and frequently ignoring …
Today we have a lot of excited children itching to get ready for Trick Or Treating, and collecting huge hoards of sweets. It’s easy to buy a spooky or cute costume in 2016 from the supermarket. Not many people these days make their costumes. But in the good old days, ASDA wasn’t on the corner …
Oh dear. Another question where I give you a crappy answer. Well… I married a Newhouse man, so I became a Newhouse. We had tiny Newhouse babies. And we are a family. *Holds down head in shame for not having a crazy, witty, eye catching, ear tantalising epic blog name* I’ll be back tomorrow with …
Quiet honestly, nothing much. Not because we are poor and we can’t afford food but we just don’t really use it that often. When we decided to become a much more self sufficient family, we got rid of quite a few things. The microwave went as it just wasn’t being used. We gave away our …
