I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I would love to hear from you!

With apologies to Paul, who might not find this blog to be quite what he was expecting. Take a look at this You Tube video. This – boy? young man? lad? What do I call him? He’s of a similar age to Tory Boy but obviously we are not on similar terms. I’ll call him ‘person’ […]
I have long been in search of the perfect handbag. It must be black; have a short and long handle, so that I can carry it down, under my arm, over my shoulder or over my chest; it must not be so big that I carry a load of junk around with me that I […]

I’ve got to get a kindle…:)
Definitely! I don’t know how I managed without mine.
You are so nice to share! Let me know when there is a Free Kindle, though! That’s what I need! Just sayin’.
I have it already, a real book, pages to turn, and signed by the author, too!
Good girl!
Congratulations … Your post “Sometimes Things Don’t Gel” was chosen as our weekly featured post (http://foodstoriesblog.com/illuminating-blog-award-weekly-featured-post/) … Hope you’ll check it out
Thanks! That’s a lovely surprise – especially for an old post!
I’ll check it out, Tilly, thank you!
Darn. I can’t download it because I am in the US. Darn.
I checked with my friend and she said other Americans are downloading it. Strange.
