Designer Labels – a waste of money or worth every penny….
I've had a bit of an up and down week this week but one lovely thing did happen at work the other day completely out of the blue - I received a long service award as I've worked with the same company for 10 years.I was given a lovely framed certificate thanking me for my work, along with a silver engraved keyring, a silver photo holder and a small catalogue of gifts to choose from. The gifts were really impressive (to me anyway) - matching his and hers Armani watches, a Tissot watch, a Radley Cheadle bag and a Links of London Sweetie bracelet among other things.I decided to go for the … [Read more...]
My week in Instagram – 31/12/11….
I couldn't really blog on New Years Eve without wishing you a Happy New Year could I? So......I'll probably be back tomorrow with my New Years Resolutions as I love to sit and write a list of resolutions on New Years Day but tonight I wanted to share with you (or at least those of you who are not out partying or too drunk to see a computer screen) the first of my resolutions.I've started to use my Iphone as my main camera lately, mostly because my DSLR is too big and bulky to carry everywhere with me and also because it's actually a really good little camera. I use an app called … [Read more...]
What I’ve learned this week….
I've learned that I must be more specific when giving instructions!I took Buddy for his pre-Christmas cut this week and asked the lady to cut him shorter than last time as he's taken to rolling around in the mud which is a nightmare to get out of his fluffy coat. I left him in the shop blissfully unaware that what the lady actually thought I'd said was 'Please shave all the hair of my cute fluffy puppy'.This is the photo I took last time he had a hair cut....This is him now... He's now walking round with an air of slight embarrassment about him and is … [Read more...]
Christmas Trees – Colour coordinated or not….
Once upon a time, before I had children, I used to have a lovely colour coordinated tree. In its former life, it was a display tree in a shop and I was lucky enough to be there doing my last minute shopping on Christmas Eve when it was being taken down to make space for the after Christmas sale. I picked it up for next to nothing including all of the pretty lilac and silver ornaments and although it never looked as pretty when we decorated it, it still looked gorgeous.Gradually though, the children's decorations have begun to take over and every year it's looking less and less like … [Read more...]
What’s wrong with being Ginger Mummy…
As I'm sure regular readers will know, my children have beautiful ginger hair (or at least I think it's beautiful).I love their hair colour and until yesterday they'd never experienced anything other than positive comments about their hair colour but last night when I took them shopping a little boy pointed at us and said 'Look at that ginger family Dad' and laughed. He didn't say it in a mean way that was particularly upsetting or anything, it's just that it's made them question why he pointed out that we were ginger. After all, we didn't feel the need to point at his family and say … [Read more...]
