CURLY AND CANDID

Dear Dr Appointment System

You only release GP appointments at 8.30am each morning. On ringing at 8.30am each day I have been “too late” by the time I get from 30th in the queue to actually speaking to someone.

This morning I was only on hold for 20 minutes but yup – “Please ring back on Monday”. I’ve been trying to get an appointment since Tuesday folks.

The system needs tweaking!

Her who is getting a little miffed now.

Dear half term.

Bloody fantastic, I can’t say any more. It’s been great having both boys at home together.

Lego, painting, laughter and general silliness.

Good for the soul (bad for the soles of feet mind!).

Roll on Easter hols!

Love, Mummy who will miss the madness next week x

Dear Ex-hairdresser friend.

Suggesting I wash my hair every now and then in washing up liquid to get rid of any build up of hair product.

Pure genius!

(Oh and Apple Fairy really does smell good doesn’t it!)

Thanks, her who has squeaky clean hair x

Dear Self

Well done! You remembered everything in your Aquafit bag this week.

You even managed to shave all of your legs, not leaving a hair strip down the front of one like you did last week.

AND you managed to keep going all the way through.

Getting cramp and jumping about like a fool with a face like a chewed toffee wasn’t quite so good but hey-ho.

Next week should be good fun 🙂

Love her who is actually enjoying exercise! (Wierdo!).

Dear Google +

Still not convinced to be honest, although your Hangouts are still pretty brilliant. This week I’ve caught up with Jay and Kat, both of who are blinking wonderful and had a good natter so I’ll not sack you yet but I could do with you coming up with some new exciting features for me, ok?

Her who WANTS to love G+ but who is struggling.

Dear Reader.

If you’ve got this far, thanks 🙂

I have a question for you. I write about anything and everything but I want to know….

What sort of stuff do YOU want me write about?

Answers on a postcard (or leave a comment).

Have a good weekend all!

You know when you wake up feeling bloated and horrible and your child tells you that you are the prettiest Mummy in the whole wide world? Yes well, that didn’t happen this morning.

Last night wasn’t a great night. I went to Slimming World and weighed in 1lb heavier than last week. The annoying thing was I knew exactly where it has come from and had no-one to blame but myself! I’d been really good all last week with great meals and snacks but ended up working late most evenings so that I could have a fairly work-free week this week with both kids at home. Unfortunately late night working and snacking go hand in hand with me hence the 1lb gain.

Anyway, I woke up feeling rubbish but determined to have a better week and enjoy my time with the kids.

And then my five year old pitches up……

“Mummy, you know the Tyrannasaurus Rex?“

“Yes dear?“

“What did it look like?“

“Urm, excuse me?“

“You know, was he as big as a house? Was he MASSIVE??“

“I don’t know love, go and get your dinosaur book and we’ll see what it says“.

“But didn’t you see one when you were in the olden days?“

HUGE FACE CREAM FAIL!

It’s ok though, I’m not upset with him. It’s not his fault that I started the day feeling fat and horrible and now feel fat, horrible and jurassic.

And of course, I will remove his favourite Lego from it’s hiding space at some point today 🙂

On the upside I am “nearly” as pretty as his favourite teacher. It’s a good job I have a good sense of humour and actually find all of this funny!

Have a great day all and remember, you are never as old as your children think you are.
