What men really say about us! May 9, 2010

Another week, another internet date. Have been doing it for so long now that I go on them expecting to be utterly disappointed, then am pleasantly surprised if they even bother to turn up! You’d be surprised how many of them don’t.  I’ve had one call me 2hrs after we were due to meet to say he had fallen [...]

Internet dating doesn’t get better than this January 21, 2010

So in my quest for a half-decent bloke, this is what I find in my inbox this morning: Email No 1 Subject: Veggie Haggis Pie for Xmas My dear mademoiselle Ecossaise, I am at least two and a half hours’ drive away from you, I am certainly approximately a thousand years too old for a [...]

Catch up January 15, 2010

It’s official, I’m a ‘stop n’ start’ blogger. Life just seems to take over and there is never any time. I have no idea how you lot (aka my blog list…except for Housewife in the Highlands, who seems to have screeched to a halt at about the same time as me in May last year) [...]

Me April 30, 2009

I came across this delightful meme on Belgian Waffle earlier today. As Mdme Jaywalker has opened it up to all, I thought it would be fun to give it a go. 1. Are you a male or female: Red shoes, red nail varnish…yes, I’m a bloke. 2. Describe yourself: Snow White with roots – plan [...]

Food for thought April 1, 2009

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 [...]

Reeling – Part 2 November 13, 2008

I have come to a decision. I am not going to confront my ex about K and her 6 yr old daughter (I forgot to mention that she has a daughter in my last post) moving in, I am going to wait for him to tell me. I have my reasons for this:   If [...]

Reeling November 12, 2008

A conversation over dinner with Sonny:   Sonny: “K is moving in with Papa.” Me: “What do you mean?” Sonny: “She is not going to live in her house anymore.” Me: “Do you know when she is moving in?” Sonny: “In December…I think.”   I knew this day would come, but I wasn’t quite sure [...]

There she blows September 17, 2008

  How come 2 nights in a tent can make you feel like you have just given birth and haven’t slept in week? In fact, I am so tired that I think I had better post this post tomorrow, when I have had enough sweep to swot the mistakes (yawn…)   To persevere…on Friday night [...]

For your eyes only! – Part 2 August 18, 2008

Finding an anonymous love letter in my postbox the other day has left me feeling slightly uneasy. Who would try and woo a grown woman with torn, lined paper and dodgy handwriting? My gut instinct was that it wasn’t someone I would like to meet in a dark alley, so I thought long and hard [...]

Feel the Love August 14, 2008

    Firstly, a very big thank you to Hadriana’s Treasures for sharing the luuuurve – it is my first award, so I will treasure it dearly. Not one to be greedy (except with a box of Roses), I would like to pass this award on to two other girlies who could also do with [...]
