My mother thinks that because I am only eighteen months old, this means I have not developed a sense of taste when it comes to my baby wear. I have more than she does!
She thinks it's funny to dress me in funny embroidered t-shirts with slogans that make people look at me funny and think I'm either cute or naughty, depending on what she thinks of my mood each day.
We had the family round...
After a long break, I've now got myself back on the career path. Even though I've spent that time raising a family, it seems I am still out of touch with young people. I taught my children to speak the Queens English but it seems all the young people today speak an entirely different language.
Despite all having different surnames they still all refer to each other as 'blood' or 'bruv'. I...
There has been some debate about the practicality of using the Mini as a family car, particularly if a baby is involved.
A rear facing child seat in the back of a Mini, even the new BMW Mini, is very awkward to fit and virtually impossible to get your child into once the seat is secured. It also restricts adjustment of the front seats which is not good if you have to put the child seat...
Next time you are filling in applications for life insurance quotes, don't forget to mention how happy you are. Sounds silly, I know, but it makes a marked difference to your health now and in the future.
My children and I have just been through one of the most horrible years we have had for a long time. We lived sod's law. Anything that could go wrong, went wrong. Trouble was at our door -...
France is a very popular holiday destination but there are very many aspects to the type of holiday you could choose.
There's the holiday where you pack the kids and all your belongings into a taxi, drag it all onto a ferry or train, arrive in France hot and stressed, take another taxi to your hotel in the centre of Paris that you've paid an extortionate fee for, unpack and try to pacify the...
It can often be difficult for victims of anorexia to receive insurance pay outs if they need life saving hospital care and even for their families to claim on life insurance policies in the event of their death. This is because, although increasingly seen as a mental disorder, the results of anorexia are largely thought to be self inflicted.
However, anorexia is a social issue that has long...
Most of our plans for the wedding are in place. There have been one or two hitches along the way ie: the best man breaking his leg on the stag do, one of my bridesmaids going down with mumps, the flowers for the cake not matching my bouquet as I had requested.
I was beginning to think that this was a bad idea, that we were somehow jinxed and it was a sign that we shouldn't go ahead but it...
The ability to develop one's muscles through progressive resistance exercise to enhance the appearance of man has enjoyed varied popularity over the years.
Bodybuilding really came to the attention of the masses with the widespread use of photography. Eugen Sandow was the first famous bodybuilder and many postcards featuring him wearing little more than an imitation fig leaf were...
Teenage girls are just a nightmare! I've been trying for a year now to 'understand' my daughter. She's lippy and belligerent, thinking she's grown up and knows everything and the next minute she's crying in my arms like she did when she was 5 years old.
I've tried talking to her, picking the right moment like you do, explaining the hormone changes she's going through and reassuring her...
Surf boards and surfing have come a long way since they first gained popularity in the mid 1800's.
Originally the sport of royalty, surfing has actually been around since the 6th Century but in its modern day form it gained status as a lifestyle symbol around the 1860's. It is thought to have originally made its way to Hawaii from the Polynesian Islands around the middle of the 18th Century....
