What a winner

Rowan had some jabs today… Meningitis, MMR and the polio tetanus and diptheria booster ones.
We didn’t tell her why we were going because she gets so scared of needles and she’s petrified of injections. When we got into the room I finally told her what was coming and she looked at me with this awful [...]

Invited to the wedding.

Rowan came over to me on the sofa this evening and stroked my face, looking deep into my eyes with her little soft gaze.
‘You can come to my wedding… my great big wedding and you can wear a great big, big, big, big, pink dress’, she said.
She waved her arms around wildly and fantastically to [...]

The F Word - Addiction

I’ve always thought it totally unfair that when you’re the person that has a problem with food everyone always imagines you to be this cream cake shoveling, cholesterol loving, pork pie cramming, ‘secret’ eater that can’t control your own urges to force food down until you can’t eat another morsel.

Trust me, this is sooooooo bad.

Bob Hill and his new wife Betty were vacationing in Europe, as it happens, near Transylvania .  They were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted highway.  It was late and raining very hard.  Bob could barely see 20 feet in front of the car.

Ah well..
Nice Try
