When I was a kid, they were a ska band with a lead singer called Buster Bloodvessel. Bad manners certainly weren’t displayed by children – not much anyway. Because if you forgot so much as one please or thank you, you got a sharp elbow in the ribs from your Mum. If you didn’t...
Before I get started, let me assure you I am not a friend of Samantha Brick. But having read the furore surrounding this woman’s claims, it brought to mind a long friendship I’ve had with a pretty blonde. A blonde who, during our nights out, has been chatted up by a string of handsome...
At this time of year, I hang around the greetings card section in the supermarket, carefully picking up and reading each Mother’s Day offering. Not because I want a gushing outpouring of sentiment, to show my mum how much she means to me. Quite the opposite. Before you gasp in shock and disapproval at my...
Don’t you just love it when men watch you park? Women don’t do it. At least I don’t – and I’ve never seen another woman waste her time. So why is it when I’m maneouvering my car into a tight space, guys always have to stop and watch? Vehicle voyeurism? Is it a threesome...
Listography over at KateTakes5 is all about the phrases which drive us crazy. Where do I start? Well I’ve narrowed it down (just about) to these top five. 1. At the end of the day Aaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhh *looks around for baseball bat*. At the end of the day, the sun goes down and we all...
This week my town made national news, when a YouTube video of a ‘fare-dodger’ being ejected from a train onto our local platform went viral. When it first came to public attention, the whole thing didn’t sit well with me. Another passenger apparently intervened to throw this teenager off, resulting in applause and shouts...
We’re just back from the local leisure centre, where my three-year-old puked. There was no warning. He’d been pretty bouncy all day (maybe that was the problem). But he was off his food – which isn’t like him. We’d arranged to meet friends at the soft play, and after putting the boys in,...
No I’m not going to say world peace. Although I wouldn’t refuse, if Santa were to offer it. But rushing around this week – picking out pyjamas, perfume, slippers and other gifts for loved ones – made me think of all the things I’d really like, which can’t be purchased in the shops. Christmas...
First of all, let me state that the phrase ‘working mum’ offends me. Hugely. Having been the career woman, then the full-time mum, I can tell you now both are work. And the latter is by far the hardest. With my children getting a little older, the opportunities I’ve had to go back into...
I have a general rule of thumb (one I hope others would agree with) that I don’t get involved in reprimanding other people’s children. I wouldn’t want anyone to tell my children off. I’d expect them to come to me about any bad behaviour. So I treat other children in the way I’d expect adults...
