My lovely Mouse is two tomorrow, and we’ve had talk of parties! cake! presents! all week. I’ve sent him off to nursery this morning with a large and chocolately cake in the shape of a caterpillar, candles for the girls to stick in the top, and perhaps inauspiciously, a pair of new cream-coloured trousers on! [...]

I am effing sick of effing working my effing butt off cooking, washing, cleaning, tidying, organising, ironing, dusting, polishing, changing beds, buying birthday and Christmas presents and running about after people. I’m brilliant at all these things and that’s my downfall. I wish I was effing crap at them and then I wouldn’t have to [...]

My younger brother, the med student, has just phoned to say that his shower has broken in the flat he rents from my parents in London. Apparently, he was really smelly when he got up and tried the shower only to find it non-op!
This illustrates the beauty of the life to come - only get [...]

Oh, the utter, magical and unremitting bliss of being allowed to read the Saturday papers from cover to cover. No ear out for the wails of ‘Mumeeee…’, no schedule, no deadline. No need to do anything, in fact!
We meandered around the shops, I bought the ingredients for a starter I’m contributing to a joint-effort dinner [...]

Suddenly had a gloomy, restless spell descend- sturm und drang for sure - could be the result of listening to Metallica while editing the Company Handbook. Enough to make you consider gender reassignment and a stint in ‘Chicago’ just to be busy and cheer yourself up.

So I wasn’t in work yesterday, which meant I did no blogging or emails or anything at all in my NetLife! Just too much stuff to do. Shopping-washing-running to the ecostore to get refills on my laundry soap and some organic tomatoes-cooking lunch-tea-going to the park with Mouse and my godson-cleaning the bathroom-tidying house-cooking supper [...]

Yes, it’s that time again, it’s….. weekend off!!!!
Sounds right shallow. I don’t mean to say that we’re relieved that we don’t have to look after R this weekend, or that we’re glad to be rid of him, or anything negative at all. Parents everywhere will relate, I’m sure - if you’ve not had enough time [...]

I always do my accounts at the start of the month. So, for March, I’ve got the chance to be depressed about money for 27 days straight. Every penny allocated. Everyone will get paid, all bills will be covered, all promises kept. Food will go on the table, babysitters will receive their remuneration. I have £50 [...]

Last night, after dinner, my dear friend J and I decided to dress up a bit and saunter into town for a drinkypoo. Went to Charlotte’s and got in a bottle of wine and two glasses, and drank the bugger while gossipping like a couple of fishwives and grading the female punters on their dress [...]
