First up Mummy of Many Talents asks


1) If you had the power to make one thing better, what would it be?

I would get my teeth straightened I hate them

2) What makes a great blog?

I like blogs that are just that somewhere for someone to put there thoughts, they can be completely random and I think these make the best posts. All blogs have there flaws and there great bits and each to there own.

3) What was the inspiration that brought your blog to the blogosphere?

I read some great blogs and one night I sat here thinking I wished I had something to look back on from all the fun days out and holidays that we take. Something other than photos. I wanted to capture memories. Unfortunately I dont find much time for that anymore but I am going to try to focus more on that than all the other things going on in my life at the moment.

4) SAHM or Working mum?

I am a bit of both, I work school hours in the office and then from home when the girls go to bed. I love picking Beth up from school and I am currently training to become a childminder.

5) Favourite blog post that you have read over the last week?

Now this is difficult for me as I have been away but check out this weeks Share the Blog love sunday where I always list my favourites.

6) What easily ticks you off (puts you in a bad mood quickly)?

Elizabeths stubborness, but she gets it from me so I bite my tongue and try very hard not to rise to her.

7) How many children do you have?

I have 2 beautiful but extremely cheeky little girls

8) Is there anything you have ever regretted writing on your blog?

Yes, I wrote a post about my hubby's temper which people took the wrong way. I wrote it when still annoyed but it reads as though he is horrid which is just not true.

9) What’s your favourite blog post you have written this year so far.

When I wrote about the birth of my premature nephew it really focused me on how lucky we are and made me start training to run a 10k in May.

10) Do you ever enter other bloggers competitions, and have you ever been lucky?

I enter loads of competitions when I see them on twitter or in my reader. I recently won a 3D LG phone which is great (but the battery life is shocking). I have won a few little bits here and there too.

11) What was your last blog post about?

Chocolate and the fact that I am not allowed any for another 40 days.

calculady the power to do long division in my head

To be happy, healthy, to love, to be there own person, to strive to be whatever they want to be and to live a long life.

I wouldnt fuss of Elizabeth so much when she was a baby.

"La La La La La,
La La La La La,
La La La La La La La La La lala,
oooh oooh ooooooooh
Laa Laa Laa La La"

Anyway

"Whats love got to do, got to do with it? Whats love but a second hand emotion".

So what has love got to do with it? Well ...

"I feel it in my fingers, I feel it in my bones, Love is all around me and so the feeling grows"

Yep I feel like I am going to be sick..

"I’m sick of love but I’m in the thick of it
This kind of love I’m so sick of it"

I am sick of commercial love, you know the type I mean, fluffy red hearts, tacky preprinted poems and flowers that look like they will die in a few days. I mean who really wants a rose just because all the shops are selling them, I would rather a coffee in bed or hubby to cook dinner for me.

Valentines day was good when you were a kid at school, it was cute, it was your one chance to show someone that you fancied them but really what good ever came out of that. All I remember about valentines day at school is either the embarassment over the lack or the amount of cards, the pure shame when your secret crush finds out it was you and laughs or worse tells everyone and they all laugh at you.

As you might have guessed we do not celebrate valentines day in our house, why should we waste money on tacky things for each other to show each other we love them, we do that every day in the little things we do. He washes up, I cook dinner, when I go shopping I might buy him a little extra treat, he makes me coffee without asking, these are the things that make us know we love each other and not a fluffy heart or half dead rose in sight.

So whilst you are all being sickening lovey dovey and wasting your money on tacky pink hearts I have decided to go hide away somewhere nice, you might have heard of it.
Its the love shack, its a little old shack where we can get together
Love Shack baby, Love Shack bay-bee.
Love Shack, baby Love Shack, Love Shack, baby Love Shack!

*If these songs are now stuck in your head you only have UKMUMS.tv to blame, honest , they dared me to do it see here.

If you dont know the Love Shack why not have a listen, guaranteed to be in your head for hours.
