mad mad mummy

don’t you hate it when, because it is cold, you drink a hell of a lot of tea and at the at the end of the day you realise that you have used every teaspoon in the house?

Gotta develop a system where I reuse the same teaspoon!

Well I’ve been a little quiet lately - but I have a good excuse!

You may have noticed that mumspace.net has a new homepage, which is the reason for my quiet mumspace. In designing the new homepage we have tried to give visitors some more insight into the mumspace.net community and give members a central place where they can browse the community and see what people are doing in real ...

Well today was a sad day. It almost had the same vibe as the last day of school or the last day of the year or something.

My gym closed down.

And I don’t think it was necessarily that it just closed down, but more that it was so sudden. Apparently yesterday at 4pm they announced to all the staff that today would be the last day of training. And that was that.

See the thing is that ...

Now Charley has absolutely beautiful hair. It is soft and blonde and forms little ringlets at the end. I have only had it trimmed once cause it is still only about halfway down her back, and it looks so nice when it is done up.

But now it is becoming the bain of my existence and I dread the morning hair brush.

Charley screams. It doesn’t matter if her hair is completely knot free - she screams ...

Does anyone wrestle with their toddler to give them medication? I almost had to put Charley in a headlock this morning to give her Nurofen and her antibiotics after the "special drink" trick saw her turn her nose up with an "I don’t like it". So I had to go in military style  - I wonder if anyone else has any suggestions?

Surely Paris’ PR people are working pretty hard now - after proudly proclaiming that she was going to do the time like a normal person and prove to the media that she is not the princess that she is, she has been let out of jail after 3 days. And is now a worldwide laughing stock.

Now I have never been sure about Paris - I thought that maybe ...

Had some workmen show up in my courtyard this morning, saying that they were going to have to move all my stuff out of it and that it would be inaccessible for the rest of the week - naturally I bawlked - SAY WHAT!

I am so annoyed, cause number one I am working all week from home, number two Charley loves going out there, and number three I have JUST finished doing it all up ...

Ok I admit it - I am a Big Brother tragic - I love listening to all the gossip.

But that Hayley chick has really gotten under my skin. She has her boyfriend Andrew so under the thumb its crazy, and she just keeps going on about how they are being so genuine with people - does she forget that the cameras are on them 24 hours? We can see ...

I have decided that I am going to build a rollercoaster called The Hormone. It is going to start really high and then plummet you to the floor at hair raising speeds. Then it is going to bounce you up and doing a couple of meters for a bit, then spin you round and round until you are really dizzy. You then return to the top and think that the ride is over. But no. ...

OMG - I am near shaking as I write this, as it will force me to recall memories that I would rather file away in the never to be remembered box.

The move was a NIGHTMARE.

It all began on Monday. I called the RE to confirm everything. "Oh yes, so you will be moving in on Thursday." Um, no, tomorrow. "Oh but the new carpet will be going in tomorrow." No, the new carpet was supposed ...
