A Proper 10 on Tuesday! (slightly boring but i'll get into it ladies)



1. I have an aversion to a red Le Cruset mug we bought, the purple and the turquoise ones positively beam at me when I open the cupboard, but I can't bring myself to drink from the red one. What's that all about?. I am in general quite OCD when it comes to mugs, I simply can not drink from some, and I would rather not have a drink if the mug is wrong! Am I alone in the mug thingy?

2. I have have bought my daughter too much for Christmas. I even bought things for her to wear that are now too small cos I started shopping for her too early. I'm hoping that she actually plays with some of it! Last  year, the precious 'first christmas' was ambushed by strep throat, the most vile infection, so this year i've gone for it!!!

3. Talking of playing, I have a child who doesn't play! today she sat on my knee watching desperate scousewives ripping up a tissue, have I failed her already?. I did cover her ears during the bad language and kept saying to her 'Nice girls don't look like that, baby', bad mother! I'm looking forward to being able to do some chores and looking lovingly at my content child playing with a toy farm or zoo, she seems to only be interested in being with people, Pippa limpet Jackson!

4. I am addicted to crumpets. When I lay Pip down for a nap, or when i'm driving home from the gym I simply can not wait to get my hands on their buttered up loveliness!!! On the OCD theme, I have 2, toast the bottom first, then the top, they have to be spread with full fat butter, topped with 1 teaspoon of strawberry jam, on plain white plate and a cup of tea preferably from the turquoise mug!

5. Looking forward to the Strike tomorrow, I like national events, I like seeing what happens and watching the news. I like the idea that I was there, that I was part of that. I love a bit of history.

6. I am a massive Radio 2 fan, yes I am over 30!

7. I had my hair cut today and not for the first time I was told by a hairdresser that my hair is in beautiful condition. I mention this because you'd never know by looking at it. My hair is an enigma, looks like a ratty mess, but has always actually been in good nick!

8. I am off to New York and with 7 amazing women. You can never be more blessed than with good relationships, I have know some of these women for over 30 years, we went to play group together. I wonder, as I write this, who my bubs will be friends with when she is 37?

9. My house is in such chaos that I ironed a load of clothes today, the problem being that i'm not sure if they were from the 'dirty to be washed' pile or the 'clean but thrown on the floor as the drier was needed' pile. As a friend shared recently 'boring women have clean houses', if that is true then I am one exciting mama!

10. Loved it today when another friend confessed that she hates unannounced visitors because of the state of her house, loved to know I'm not alone, but secretly knew that my house is the worst. I blame my mother, clean freak, maybe Pip will have the immaculate home I desire but can't achieve.
