I will be The Girl With The Beautiful Bag
The lovely ladies at Aspire Style have sent me The Most Beautiful Bag in all the world. I’m going away this weekend (I am turning twenty five and wondering how this has happened?) and, while the usual logistics sleeping/eating problems will undoubtedly occur, I am going away with The Most Beautiful Bag which even has …
Lets hope my examiner is an orangutan
“How was your lesson?” MindReader says as MadFather and I walk through the door. “Good!” I say. “We did third gear and roundabouts! Not together, though.” “No…” MindReader says. He is watching the football, tea in hand. “You know the kitten though?” I say. “Yes?” “Well, now, when I don’t accelerate enough MadFather says to …
Embarrassing moment number 34945974587
MindReader and I are at OldHousemate and her Husband’s house for dinner. They are returning the favour because we cooked them dinner a few months ago. For some reason, we are talking about adverts, over a lovely lime and ginger chicken dish and perhaps a touch too much wine. “Apparently glade air freshners can now …
A shopping saga
Due to the below, I now own five coats. This is a tad excessive even for me. *** We are in United Colours of Benetton. I am in my winter coat which is a Perfectly Acceptable wool trench coat. I also own an old parka and a spring coat. “Oh,” I say, looking across the …

Inside my head
“And… clutch down and brake to a stop,” MadFather says. “Brake to a stop,” he says again. “Um – brake, Billygean!” I finally stop the car just short of a fence. “Bit quicker next time?” he says. “It’s hard!” I say. We drive around the block again. “And clutch down and -” I slam on …
Time for new glasses? Oh and boom: news
I walk along the corridor in the library (am I ever anywhere else?) and catch sight of another person on the other side who I try to dodge. I am not really in the mood to encounter the library weirdos. I am feeling very smug, because Company magazine are doing a feature thing on THIS …
Do not fear!
MindReader and I are at an engagement party in Cardiff (Wales to the Americans amongst us). Incidentally if you and I are ever at a party together please do not ask us when he is going to propose, prompting a hearty ‘never!’ from the sarcastic boyfriend himself and a defensive but well-meaning ‘if it’s forever …
