I just replied to a post to Jen, who was encouraging me to go for it, baby-wise. In my reply I worked out I spend about £6,000 a year on Mouse’s nursery. I get 5% discount for 2. So, maybe £11,000 a year to have them both cared for to the high standards you’d rightly [...]

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 [...]

It is frightening, truly terrifying, how much money I waste every month.
I once worked out, that in my high rollin’ days, I was spending £4800 on petrol to and from work, and a further £5000 on lunch and wine - every year.
We’ve just had a closer look at our mortgage, and with the minimum effort, [...]

There’s things I can deal with then there’s things I cannot.
I am a member of various forums, and one in particular (I name no names, cause this is my fight) I have grown tired of. Simply because you can’t post without some smartass jumping down your neck. The premise of the site is that everyone [...]

For god’s sake.
Rain, winds, inclement interludes, microbursts, fog and even snow have been forecast for this weekend. It’s June next week, what the hell’s going on? And before any smartass says, ‘global warming’, I’d mention that a) Bank Holidays are supposed to do this in Britain but it’s still disappointing and b) if global warming [...]

Husband is in the dog house. I got nothing. Not even a ‘Happy Mothers Day’! I was really upset, more because it seemed to say to me that he hasn’t appreciated all the effort I’ve put in and all the work I did on myself to get myself into the frame of mind to have [...]

I’ve been abjured to keep a massive secret and I feel completely drowned by it. It’s so portenteous that I can’t even hint at the content. Suffice to say it’ll blow the cap off a couple of people’s happiness for a few months when it comes out.
I’m in the position of being a certain person’s impartial [...]

Well, call me the Queen of Sour Grapes but I’ve never heard so much tosh in all my days. £70k for a blog?! It’s amazing for the woman in question that she’s been taken up at this level, and more power to her arm. But, really, how many people blog away with great fluency and [...]

So I posted all the pix of R and then realised that it wasn’t such a great idea for them to be public. Then Husband said that there are horrid people who trawl around looking for pictures of babies and I couldn’t keep them public after that. Why is it that some people, nameless, faceless [...]

Ladies, start your engines, cause I know you’ll be coming with me on this one.
After making Husband a curry last night from scratch (courtesy of T and her currytastic inspirations) I sat down to wrap 13 presents. All of which I chose and lugged home, and which were for Husband’s dad, stepmother, nieces, nephews, aunts and [...]
