The karaoke song meme

Posted on June 9, 2011February 17, 2025 by jenny

Pippa at A Mother’s Ramblings has tagged me in the latest meme to reveal what I would sing at karaoke! I’ve never sung karaoke in my life but if I ever had some dutch courage and got up to sing it would have to be Everybody’s Changing by Keane. I listened to this song constantly…

What’s in my fridge?

Posted on April 16, 2011July 1, 2025 by jenny

So I’ve been tagged by the lovely Clare to reveal what’s in my fridge. This meme was started by Sally who wondered if the contents of her fridge (or lack thereof) meant she was a bad mother. I’m happy to say we have a rather full fridge which is just the way I like it…

What do I want to be?

Posted on March 21, 2011August 3, 2016 by jenny

Today I handed in my notice at work. I worked there for so long I can’t remember what I did before. Now I have the perfect opportunity to give some thought to what I want to be when I grow up (having a child doesn’t mean I’ve grown up, does it?). My first memory is…

Favourite sweets

Posted on March 15, 2011February 11, 2023 by jenny

This weeks Listography is your top 5 favourite sweets from your childhood. I have a real sweet tooth so it wasn’t hard. In fact, I could have listed my top 50 sweets with tom thumb drops, fizzy cola bottles, jazzies, popping candy and foam bananas. I’m old and I remember when 10p would buy a…

Dear So and So…

Posted on March 11, 2011November 2, 2025 by jenny

Dear Work, Stop messing with me. We both know I’m entitled to those Bank Holidays I accrued whilst on maternity leave. Sort it out! Yours, Employee (with a contract to prove it) ———————   Dear Body, What’s up with you? Nausea for days on end? Tired all the time. Headaches? Pregnant again? Yours, Wishful thinking…

Flashback Friday – Raisin Weekend 1995

Posted on March 11, 2011January 9, 2016 by jenny

Last night I was having a look through my old photos (so old they’ve been scanned into iPhoto) and came across one which I wanted to share. That’s me in the middle when I was much much younger. It was taken whilst I was at the University of St Andrews where I spent five happy…

Flashback Friday – first birthday

Posted on February 25, 2011August 30, 2022 by jenny

There’s a new photograph meme over at Cafe Bebe called Flashback Friday. It sounded fun and I found the perfect photograph! We’ll shortly be celebrating Edward’s first birthday and I thought I’d compare my own party many moons ago. I’m a definite child of the 70s with that plastic bib and the party food. We’re…

Five things you want your children to know about you

Posted on February 25, 2011July 11, 2023 by jenny

I love Ella’s Notes from Home and have previously joined in a couple of times. This week’s prompt really made me think: Five things you want your children to know about you. Did I really exist before Edward came along? Sometimes it’s hard to remember!   1 I did exist before you came along. I’m…

Reasons to be Cheerful 1,2,3

Posted on February 24, 2011November 2, 2025 by jenny

Michelle at Mummy From The Heart hosts a great weekly meme called Reasons to be Cheerful. I’ve seen lots of bloggers join in and thought I would have a go.     1 Edward took his first step today! I really wanted this to happen before he starts nursery as I wanted to see it….
