Tennessee, Jim and bleach

Meet my new chum, I predict lot's of fascinating adventures and good times (as long as he is on offer)
.
Rather than spend time and money choosing suitable partners I look for bargains or I eliminate a partner ruthlessly, based on previous bad experiences (dark rum 1989, never touched it since)

 

I rather like Jim

We have dallied before



 

my crafting quest continues

I found an old long sleeved 't' - I whipped off the sleeves and added a trim

'wunder-webb' is a 'wunder' indeed, it sorted the sleeves in seconds

 

I'm on a roll despite having the children take the mickey out of my fabulous creations

though 2 of the cheeky monkeys want a knitted headband with a bow

and the eldest wants a faux fur collar/cuff combo

the little blighters

 

Sunday, after a 9 hour shift

ironing........

although I had left the house in a dreadful condition

Mr Foxy and children cleaned up, cooked and did everything

all I had to do was iron the uniforms

I look all graceful, which is  most unusual as I lack any finesse

 

 

 we have books everywhere

 

I found a book and took it to work, Mr Foxy gave it to me 16 years ago

Katherine Mansfield Short Stories (never got round to reading it, ahem)

I really tried

and she is a literary legend apparently

but it depressed me no end

 

 





 

I love 'A Streetcar named Desire'

blinking good read

 my literary choices are ridiculous most of the time

 

Ha! he doesn't advocate bleach so I thought screw that

but

Its a Q&A book, I am endlessly fascinated by the questions

'Do you know how to deal with a dirty acoustic tile ceiling?'

'Is there a line between clean enough and too clean?

WHAT??

and

'how can I develop a positive attitude to housework? the author would rather clean than ski, fish, play darts or eat.  Really, feck that

'what are the best clothes to clean in? apparently wear white and wear plimsolls

 

Stepford wife

 

Reality

 

 but I like my pretty vintage apron, it has pockets!

 

I gave this book to Missy

I thought it looked like a fun book

I didn't read anything other than the back

Rule 3 was cute

 

BIG mistake, big mistake.... huge

(I do like a 'Pretty Woman' quote)

 I flicked through it, I am an idiot

turns out it wasn't an appropriate read for a 12 year old

 

She didn't read it all (Thank heavens) and breezily said 'It's ok, I didn't read those bits' 

 I got a little stressed

after reading the chapter myself

 Oh. My. Gah.

I can't even begin to tell you.

Lesson learned though

 

 

I'm off to tackle the upstairs bathroom

woop!

 

see you soon

stay awesome!

I do like the word 'awesome'

au revoir
