Everywhere I look on this holiday there are children staring at an ipad/phone or device. At every meal, on the beach, in fact everywhere. I’d say 90% are glued to a screen. I’d like to hurl them all in the sea. Am I being over dramatic?
I genuinely don't understand why people have queued for hours to buy things today. If this lockdown has taught me anything, it's that we don't need the amount of things we're never going to wear/use/need. Did any of you queue? If so why and what did you buy?
Does anyone else find they frequently forget to drink the recommended 8 glasses of water a day but can nail 2 large G&T’s without drawing breath?

So my husband got an Alexa for Christmas. I can hear him downstairs, taking great delight in the fact that finally, a female in this house actually listens to him 🤣🤣🤣
Saw my friend in the coffee shop, went up behind him, wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered “Alright handsome, mind if I join you?” Turns out he just looked like my friend 🙈🙈🙈
Once upon a time there was a Mummy who enjoyed lockdown a little bit too much. She did Joe Wicks once at the beginning and hasn’t bothered since, she ate a bit too much pizza and drank Rose practically every night.…
I’m going to be 46 tomorrow. Can somebody please tell me how the hell that happened? One minute I’m riding a chopper with a bad perm, the next minute I can’t fit all the candles I need on a cake 😳
This time 9 years ago, I was on all fours, I’d just puked into a pint glass, and still had another 10 hours left in me. The cause of all of the above is now upstairs sleeping peacefully and waiting to turn 9 tomorrow and has been worth every God damn second....
My husband has just cooked me a meal, having fought a lady over the last steak in the M&S dine in for £20 Valentines thingy. Has folded all the laundry and is now cleaning the kitchen. I couldn’t possibly love him more right now!!!
Two things I’ve observed today about this rather warm weather.
1. My neighbours can hear me yelling at the kids much easier now all the doors and windows are open.
2. My thighs still chaffe despite promising myself last year they wouldn’t this summer
I have just poked my tongue out at a woman in a car who wouldn’t let me out at a junction, despite me initially smiling nicely at her. Childish yes but man alive it felt good.
My belly hasn’t seen sun for the past two years. I’ve been too embarrassed to get it out. This year, thanks to a shift in attitude, not giving a f%^k and

it’s out!! Granted, it looks like a very pale panna cotta at the moment but it’s out!!
In my head, I am Nigella. I look like her, cook like her and my house looks like hers, I am fabulously, effortlessly amazing.... reality is such a let down

Youngest child “Night Mummy, I love you more than anything else in the world”
Me “I love you too darling, so so much”
Youngest “Acutally, I love my blankies (especially the spotty one) a little bit more than you but you’re still my second favourite”
Me 😳
And to all of you waiting to be a Mum, hoping and praying to be a Mum, simply missing your Mum or for those for whom this day just needs to be endured. You are not alone. Sending Sunday love xxx

Who came up with the idea of Alvin and the Chipmunks? I swear to God, I’m going to hunt them down, lock them in a room and force them to listen to the annoying little rats on loop for eternity..
Child “Hey Mum, I know what your favourite sport is”
Me “Erm, not a big sports fan, but go on”
Child “Ginastics”
Child: Rolling around the floor laughing at her own genius
Me: 😳😳😳
Happy Birthday to us!!! My youngest daughter was born at 6.26 am the day I turned 41. How’s that for a birthday present? What a glorious day we’re going to have.

you are bloody miraculous!! Thank you so so much. Off to cause mischief 😉😉😉 xx
Me: There’s a longevity diet in the paper today, it’s mainly vegan with a bit of fish thrown in, we could live to 100, shall we give it a bash?
Carnivore husband: Tell you what, you do it, I won’t and we’ll see who dies first 🙄🙄🙄
Me: “I’m giving up sugar for Lent, what are you giving up?”
Smallest child “Lettuce, I hate lettuce” Not sure she’s really got the concept of Lent just yet.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a bit of time out from the sun watching/playing a game for 30 mins or so, but seriously, what’s wrong with talking to your kids and teaching them the art on conversation at the table? Am I alone?
In other news, I ran my longest run without stopping this morning. 3.3 miles!! Which might not seem a lot but it was a bloody marathon to me. Please note, fag butt wasn’t mine and I did put it in the bin!
Please don’t worry about tonight’s result. We will be in the final. How do I know? I booked youngest’s birthday party 3 months ago. The time? Sunday 15th at 4.30pm, not a single child will now be there

Memorial hospital for taking such good care of my little girl. Fractured left wrist dealt with such care and compassion. We’d be lost without you and the incredible work you all do x
I’ve just had a massive debate about folding or scrunching toilet paper with a 4 year old who’s a scruncher. I’m mean seriously, what have I given birth to? Fold all the way right?
I took this in the park last week. Mother Nature at her finest. I thought it was quite a good metaphor for life. Notice the foreground is all sunny and calm but lurking in the distance is one hell of a storm…
Almost as good as the time I went to my Uncle Barry’s 50th birthday party. Went in, put present down, ate my way through the buffet and several glasses of fizz only to see a bride and groom and then realised his party was in the venue opposite

Thank you all for confirming that. Next question is WTAF is this government thinking? How can they possibly think that opening pubs at 6am after them all being shut for so long isn’t going to descend into absolute carnage by around mid morning? I don’t understand...
I am waiting to pump my tyres at a service station. The couple that snuck in front of me 😡 are trying to do the same. It is painful to watch. I often wonder how some people manage to function on a daily basis.
A rare day off. A list of jobs to tackle as long as my arm. So far, I’ve managed to achieve zip except for drink lots of coffee and post pictures of my dog!!! Anyone else great at procratinating?

I’ve actually got dressed and put make up on 🤣
Topics up for discussion, are we drinking to much during the lockdown and would you snitch on your neighbour if they were breaking the rules???
