It's a Rat Trap, Billy...


I have taken to sifting through videos from the eighties on YouTube. I have spent many a pleasant hour this last week with Big Country, Dire Straits, Madness, The Jam, The Specials, Boomtown Rats and Midge Ure.


Can't decide if the music was better, or the memories were better.

Marian Keyes...the work of the devil?

I can't find anything I want to read. I have a pile of classics upstairs that need some serious consideration. And Memoirs of a Geisha. But I have this terrible urge to read some...


Chick Lit.



Somebody help me.

Princess Tiaamii

Jordan and Peter Andre have named their baby daughter Princess Tiaamii.
Tiaamii - pronounced tee-ah-me - is taken from the names of Andre's mother Thea and Jordan's mother Amy.
Glamour model Jordan - real name Katie Price - explained to OK! magazine: "Her name is Princess Tiaamii. Princess because she is our princess and Tiaamii was Pete's idea because it's taken from our mums' names.
"We've put an accent over the first 'a' to make it a bit more exotic and two 'i's at the end just to make it look a bit different.

"We love it because it's unique, plus it means something special to us. I'm going to get a tattoo on the back of my neck with a crown and 'Princess' underneath."
Former pop star Andre added: "Katie always loved the name Princess but everyone thought it was a bit over the top. I loved it too but I wanted to name her after both our mums and then I just woke up one morning and thought 'I know! We'll just put them together!'.
"If people don't like it, that's up to them. We're really happy and proud."
Princess is the couple's first daughter. She was born three weeks ago and Jordan nicknamed her Bunny.
The glamour model turned novelist considered calling the baby Tinkerbell, she revealed, but rejected it as too many celebrities have chosen it for their dogs.
The pair also have a boy, Junior, while Jordan has another son, Harvey, from a previous relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke.

They also have no taste and a cruel streak.

Half Way

Am halfway through HP. It is very dark as I expected. And two deaths that I didn't want already. Possibly three.


My mum is coming over from Canada for 2 weeks tomorrow so I'm really looking forward to seeing her.


Swimming tonight, have been cleaning all day today, Lizzy watching Basil Brush on the TV. Not much changes. Ho Hum.

...and the Deathly Hallows


I have finished my Beryl Bainbridge book and am rereading the Half Blood Prince to remind myself the thread for the next book. Is nobody else as excited as me?

Blodwyn Ashley


I have spent hours phoning around Laura Ashley stores to get this skirt in my size....have finally got it. And yes, I know that buying Laura Ashley makes me old. And yes, I know she was Welsh....but I, too, am quarter Welsh. So there we are. I have admitted to being Old and Welsh in one blog. Sorry Kaz.

My Dull Life

I have decided that because I cannot compete with Alex in the thrilling life stakes, I should make stuff up.


This morning I have a board meeting with Alan Sugar who wants to talk contracts with me about me being his personal gossip/coffee maker....then this afternoon I will be off to Elizabeth Arden for a complete makeover and tonight I am off out with Kate and Pete for some serious sex, drugs and rock n roll.


Please note that my day will have nothing whatsoever in any shape or form to do with laundry, the nursery run, cookery or cleaning the bathroom.

Home, where my thought's escaping....





















I live in Frome. It is a small market town on the East edge of Somerset. It dates from 685AD, and has more listed building than any other town in Somerset.












Three miles away from me is Longleat. Twelve miles from me is Bath. Twenty miles away is Glastonbury (my mum lived here a while). Ten miles is Wells. Cheddar and Stonehenge are both 25 miles away, and eight miles away is Warminster, site of one of the biggest Army barracks in the country. (Get back, Alex) We have lots of little villages nearby..including Mells (home of Little Jack Horner) Kilmersdon (home and hill of Jack and Jill) and Norton St Phillip whose pub, The George, holds the longest licence in England (700 years).
























Oh my word, how did that last picture get in there?! Mrs Weasley, stop hacking into my blog!
