Dipping Into The Water Butt

We’re off to be part of the audience for The Paul O’Grady Show tomorrow. I’m gonna be totally cream-crackered at having to make the journey down to London and back up again after doing the journey up from Kent yesterday so he’d better be worth it.
If I’d known it would be so close to our […]

This may not appeal to my male blogging friends but I’m sure the ladies will appreciate it.

Do you prefer this pumpkin man?

Or this one?

Today we pack our car up again and head back to Cheshire. You’d never believe I’m going home, I’m acting more like a kid going on holiday.
It’s nice to get away now and then (and believe me, I do like getting away) but a month’s a long time to be away from home. I’m missing […]

Julie Cohen, author of Mod-X stories for HMB and chicklit stories for Headline’s “Little Black Dress” line has started an “opening paragraphs challenge”.
Basically, writers post their opening paragraph and explain how it introduces the characters etc. Julie explains it all on her blog so I’d suggest you nip over there rather than listen to me […]

Tonight’s the night the clocks go back and as a way of celebrating the change of the seasons (or something along those lines), Shep at Cliff-A-Go-Go has devised a cunning plan.

Here’s mine:
1. Am quite fertile. Have three kids.
2. Love life, […]

What was Sheikh Taj El Din Al Hilali thinking of when he made his now famous speech about women who, for whatever reason, choose not to wear the hijab?
His words:
“If you take uncovered meat and place it outside and the cats come and eat it, whose fault is it, the cats’ or the uncovered meat?”

Richard and I went to London yesterday. Since we’ve been in Kent we’ve been taking weekly trips up to see my mum and dad. It’s been good for Mum because we’ve been able to take her to Tesco so that she could do a big shop, something she’s not able to do otherwise, and it’s […]

Have you been on The Inner Minx? What do you mean, what is it? It’s a blog, you clod! A blog! Just like this one, only different. And yes, I know that’s sort of oxymoron-ish but let’s not get technical, eh?
The Inner Minx is also a person. She’s also a very good writer. How do […]

The things that some people get up to shock the hell out of me!
