my goodness that time again. New thing if you want to link in..you can..click on the link at the bottom and add your details. Lets see if it works!
1. We are partied out here. We have three children's birthdays within 3 weeks of each other (think of that what you will!) and so it has been busy and exhausting and now we have a break till just after christmas. Which i would enjoy but i have the faint sound of jingle bells in my ears….*sigh*
2. This week, yet again, we have had some fine example of daft driving by parents. Why do they do that? Its not difficult. Indicate when you pull out, don't mount the kerb with your 'oh-so-big-what-im not- really -driving- in- a -field?' vehicles, assume that those two yellow lines on the road mean that there is a good reason why you shouldn't park there & remember that we are all after the same goal here, kids in the school safe and on time – so the on time bit is a bit sketchy – but man, there is no need to act like the school run is a motorised version of musical chairs and there are only two chairs left. We can all find a space people! 🙂
3.Have you noticed? its a bit different round here on my blog. This is very much a work in progress. Im trying to change it up a bit here and yeah..im not so keen on the bright green either – but at the moment i have no idea how to change it. Theres a long boring reason for the layout change and i wont go into it because it involved a couple of hours of me sat, staring, hair pulling, crying and frustratingly being directed to the typepad homepage when i put my question in. But here it is, temporarily like this.
4. So i like to bring a bit of music along each tuesday and heard this on the radio this morning and thought. What a great song that is, takes me back to my Uni days. Still.So.Good.
5. So anyone seen the Footloose film yet? is it here on these shores as yet? Im just wondering what its like. I have to say i cannot see myself going to see it. Mostly because I am SUCH a die hard fan of the original. That film started my love of the VW bug and my AHEM little crush on Kevin Bacon. Don't know if i can take anyone else playing Ren. But the other reason for not seeing it is because hahahahaha…time to go out to the cinema? hahahahahhaaa..ha…ha
6. Did you see the news about the lady who ran a Marathon at 39 weeks pregnant and then went and gave birth the same day! Either she is super duper fit or she was just so desperate to no longer be pregnant that she thought 'run a marathon, that'll shift this thing!' Guessing she will be pinging back into those size 8 jeans faster than any celebrity. Im half in awe and half freaked by what running 26 miles carrying a 3.5kg baby is going to do to that poor woman's uterus. Holy prolapse batman!
7. I so love twitter. Funny how it can take you a while to 'get' something. I didn't 'get' it at all and now it makes sense and i think i like it a lot more than facebook.
8. A primary school up the road caught fire a few weeks back and it wasn't until about a week later when i noticed there were far fewer parents doing the school run, the lollipop man wasn't around and in fact, oh yes i had heard fire engines walking home one afternoon last week, that i finally put two and two together. I should think with those sort of observational skills i could have an alternative career as a detective. no?
9. I posted a question on twitter about eggs. I had thought a while ago when buying eggs and noticing that supermarkets keep them in general non-refrigerated aisles whether or not they should be kept in a fridge. Well you know, fridges have those little egg cup holder things in them right? I think the response i got on FB and twitter was one of the highest ive had and so i realise this must be a concern for many people 🙂 I have summised that yes you can keep them in a fridge but actually you dont need to and for baking they should always be room temperature. Bringing you public service announcements day by day.
10. The weather today has been at war with itself. Im not a great fan of the british climate. I may have said that once or twice but on days like today i cannot help but roll my eyes…a..lot. Pick a weather and stick with it for at least a few hours k?
