To Dye or not to Dye….that is the question…
After 27 years of colouring and bleaching my hair I am so fed up of this endless cycle of fussing and preening and yes, with the expense of it all, that I am considering whether or not to just dare to bare my natural hair colour at long last.
Alas, my natural colour doesn’t make me [...]

Petition Her Majesty the Queen on HFE Bill
Fr. John Boyle recently contacted me to draw my attention to an online petition to Her Majesty the Queen with regard to requesting that she withhold Royal assent to the HFE Bill.
Please do fill in this online form. It will take only one or two seconds of your time.
Thank you.

Our Sunday in Pictures
I thought it would be fun to share our family Sunday with you in photographs that I took today (with the exception of the picture of the procession , which I took 2 weeks ago at Mass)
After breakfast this morning we attended Mass together…
When we got home from Church we had a quick [...]

About a Girl
I don’t know if it’s commmonplace in your part of the world for children leaving School to graffiti one anothers school uniforms, but it seems to be the norm in all the schools my children have attended and subsequently left, so when Primadonna came home from her last day of High School wearing this yesterday….I [...]

Birmingham Meet-up?
It occurred to me that since a good few of us live within a couple of hours of Birmingham UK ( if not actually in it) it might be good fun to actually have a blogger ‘meet up’.
What say you?
To be honest i wouldn’t be able to do summer as in a months time I [...]

Wonderboy and Primadonna
Wonderboy had his second set of ‘outjections’ this week….he calls them ‘outjections’ since nothing is injected into his body and yet blood is removed.
That’s the way Wonderboy thinks.
He has an interesting take on things.
Always has.
Tonight he told the most wonderful joke which i can’t share as it is about flatulence and some of you [...]

Gag me ? You wish you could.
Perhaps it’s a sign that I need to unsubscribe from some of the blogs I am currently subscribed to, when time after time I read regurgitated posts…the kind that one blogger starts and another 20 or 30 or 40 of (some) of the other blogs I subscribe to, copy and/or plagiarise other bloggers posts.
I believe [...]

With a thankful heart…
It is with much gratitude that I thank the lovely and kindhearted Renee for sending me the most beautiful card, pictured above. In fact, not only is my blog-friend kind, but she is also incredibly talented, for the image on the front of the card is a copy of an icon that she wrote [...]

The ‘All About me’ Alphabet Meme
The theme for this meme is that using the 26 letters of the alphabet you will express who you are, what you do, your interests, what matters to you etc….and you have to write it within 26 minutes…I haven’t seen this anywhere, though I’m sure it’s so obvious an idea that other bloggers have done [...]

I give you my Word…
When we mean to express a solemn promise, we may say ‘I give you my word’.
We may use the term in the most serious of situations when we feel that the more usual expressions of ’sure’, ‘absolutely’ or even ‘certainly’ will not adequately suffice in conveying the resoluteness with which we mean a thing.
If [...]

All things Prom
If you have a daughter and she either has been or is of an age to attend a High School Prom (over here it is synonymus with the ‘May Ball’), then you will likely understand that I am by no means exaggerating when I say that I swear (and I shouldn’t because I only [...]

Cut the Cable….
I don’t have cable TV, in part that is due to a lack of funds, in part it’s because when we did have it for a short while I realised how much innapropriate programming was on it and how my kids were drawn to watching it….what with MTV and the like purporting to be music [...]

Bloggin Bleggin’
One of the least popular comments I ever made was a few years ago, on the blog of someone who asked the visitors who read his blog regularly, to show their support by donating funds to keep his bank balance healthy as he was spending so much time blogging that he was not earning as [...]

Well, it’s been a while…..
I came across this on The Flying Dutch Girl’s Blog and thought I’d have a crack at it….feel free to pick this meme up if you feel so inclined, but please remember to let me know in the combox that you are doing it, so that I can read your responses on your blog!

The Budget
I tend not to stick at such things, so this might be yet another whim that will fizzle out just as surely as many of my other bright ideas have done in the past…. but since I’m in something of a pickle financially, I’ve decided to write down all my weekly outgoings to [...]

Laptop death
there has been an unfortunate laptop death in the family.
Fortunately it wasn’t mine that died, but my daughter, Primadonna’s laptop. It was only 5 months old and it worked fine yesterday, but today it won’t switch on at all. We’ve tried the ‘holding the on/off button for ten seconds’ trick and the, ‘plug [...]

It’s a publishing first!
This is a first for me….my first published full page news story featuring my own photography too! I’m always pleased when my contributions make it to press, but you could say I was just a little bit delighted to find my stuff taking up a whole page of the Diocesan newspaper last month :-)
(understatement of [...]
