Sorry to start the week on a downer, but I wanted to know whether people had talked to their kids about the shootings in Connecticut, or not

Our cupboards are usually sparse and the kids think it's a treat when we splurge on a multipack of Quavers or Chocolate Animals. So imagine their delight when not one, but two pipes, of Pringles arrive?

smile I’ve been asked to write a post on simplifying Christmas, I’m not sharing a recipe as I usually do, though I will of course be sharing some soon… For now, here goes.

This Christmas I have shelved all plans to become Nigella - it's going to be a nice, lazy day (I hope)

Blimey, my post seems to have touched a nerve. I've had almost 200 viewings since this afternoon! I've never had that much in a week before!

It can't just be me who has dodgy Christmas skin too many late nights, chocolates and mince pies two recommended spot zappers to get you looking gorgeous for the big day!

I got a Leibster Award and a Beautiful Blogger Award. Read all about why I can't play monopoly and find out whether I'd choose cheese or chocolate...

Oh my, I posted twice today about bed-hopping here and about candy canes, bolognese and artistic sensibilities here

One of them has pictures that I drew all by myself! (using Paint)

This is a response to that vile article on Megan Fox in the Independent attacking her as a mother and being generally vile and malicious about women who don't bf. In Defence of Megan Fox.

It's just been cross-posted in the New Statesman <happy dance>

applying for DLA advice welcome!

Has anyone else got Christmas Fever?

Has anyone ever been to the Museum of Broken Relationships ?
It looks bitter-sweet and contains loads of ideas for writerly types.

Wow, love your Megan Fox response, SGM, am gobsmacked by that deeply unpleasant piece in the Independent!

Thanks smile
