1. Are you a male or female: Red shoes, red nail varnish…yes, I’m a bloke.

For those of you who follow my blog on a regular basis, you will know that I have had more than my fair share of ‘close encounters’ with shady Frenchmen. However, here is one with a less than happy ending – I was lucky, but another girl less so.

Son (to shiny new boyfriend): I want a brother.
Shiny new boyfriend (to son): Oh that’s nice.
Me (trying to change subject): So what do you two fancy for supper?
Son (pointing at more than ample bulge in shiny new boyfriend’s trousers): If put your zizi in my Mama’s kiki (now pointing at my essential equipment) you [...]
As I write this, the oven is whirring away and the smell of Nigella’s Chocolate Cloud Cake is wafting through the air. Ooooh, it is diviiiiiiiiine…retribution for having a dirty oven.

“Sonny. Pass me the phone quickly. Mama needs help!”
“Where is it?”
