Never trust a woman who...

Doesn't wear lipstick
Doesn't carry a handbag
Wears a shell suit
Has an adams apple
Calls everyone sweetie


Oh no, wait, I do the last one. Scrub that.

Red White and Bl....Beige

Ok. Here is the thing. We have brought the corner sofa back from Ikea and we have bought 2 sets of white washable covers for it. It is still in wrapping in my garage. However, I am having big second thoughts as friends tell me that we won't be able to read a newspaper near it, wear hairspray/mouse/gel anywhere near it and that dye will come off peoples clothes onto it. I am expecting you to decide...Here are your options.

Please note, our walls are magnolia and the carpet is a dark oatmeal.

White? Are you totally barking?!

I was sat here waiting for Stew to come back from Ikea with my new white corner sofas, (Yes, the marbles finally went, I am getting white sofas with a four year old) when I flicked the channels and found North by Northwest on TCM. It's not even on my list! How did you miss that one! It is, as Mrs Weasley would say, Tres Bon!

Frankly my dear...

For the first time ever I have just finished watching Gone with the Wind. I picked up the video at a boot sale for 30p. I've no idea why I haven't seen it before. How fabulous. What a wonderous film. I cried all the way through, and now am going to make it my mission to watch more classic films. Non violent, of course. Suggestions please!

To the male population - apologies

Never trust a man who

1) Sings higher than me (those pesky BeeGees spring to mind)
2) Looks in a mirror more than me (I had this thought after reading the bookshelf)
3) Wear flipflops (Quite frankly, your feet are pig ugly and I do not want to see them)

Any more I should be adding? And to even it up, I will do a "Never trust a woman" blog at a later date.

Too Catchy

I have been singing this song for days. I even sing it in my sleep. I haven't had a song through my head as much as this since I heard Rehab for the first time.

Concrete Cows

Last week we went to Milton Keynes. The land of the concrete cow. My mums brother lives there and my cousin lives at Newport
Pagnell. She's just had a baby girl, and we are such a small family, that it has been huge excitement for us.

We stayed in a hotel overnight and went out to eat what seemed like ten times in two days.

What are you reading?

I am currently reading "The English by Jeremy Paxman."

It mostly has terrible review at Amazon, but I didn't read them till after I was lent the book. So I shall probably read it and regret it.
