ANYBODY GOT A LIFE BUOY?

POTTY TRAINING

In Amsterdam, the tile under Schiphol’s urinals would pass inpection in an operating room. But nobody notices. What everybody does notice is that each urinal has a fly in it. Look harder and the fly turns into the black outline of a fly, etched into the...

DISORDERLY GIRLS

At the moment I'm reading the true story of the Lady Julian, a ship commissioned to transport female convicts to Botany Bay from eighteenth century Britain. The Floating Brothel by Sian Rees tells of the rough justice meted out to women when one hundred...

MY CUTIE

I recently changed my Peugeot 307 for a sexy little 107 and can now report that it's a real little cutie, I love it to bits. Agile, economical, nippy, it does me very well and makes me feel young again...not that I had a car when I was young, but you...

TERRAMUNDI MAGIC

My two Terramundi Money Pots are nearly full. Yippee! I should nearly have enough in there to get my eyes lasered. The pots are really Etruscan Money Amphoras that have been used for over 2000 years in Italy; once the first coin is dropped in the money...

READY STEADY GO

The wine cellar is full, the fridge is overflowing, the sun is shining, the neighbours have been warned; I've got girlie toys, boys toys and the big city just a couple of hours away. I've got a high ranking member of the Military hierarchy organising...

MADWOMAN OUT OF HER ATTIC

There are days that are so surreal that you think you’re dreaming… yesterday was one of those days. It started off banally enough with baby sis, the matriarch and me setting off for a cultural evasion to the Capital to visit the awesome British Museum...

ACADEMIA MANIA

Josh has had his first ever school report at the tender age of four and he's done brilliantly!...oh, yes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. But he's sooo young, barely out of nappies, whatever happened to childhood innocence... Hmmm, he still...

SOMETHING TO PONDER

From The Girl Who Came Back , by Kerry Wilkinson: "What sort of person wants their own daughter to give away a grandchild? How is that a thing? It's easy to abdicate responsibility by saying it's a generational thing, that isn't an excuse, not when other...

Paul McKenna has an original way of controlling food cravings; I scoffed when I first heard of it, but I've tried it three days running now and it works! Go on, try it: Tap 10 times above your eyebrow Tap 10 times below your eyes Tap 10 times on your...

PATHETIC

GREEN TEA

I've been reliably informed that green tea helps with weight loss. Apparently, studies in the United States have revealed that the equivalent of 3 cups of green tea a day had the effect of inhibiting weight gain in rats that had been fed a high calorie...

MY FUNNY VALENTINE

He may not be Daniel Craig, he may not be Warren Buffet, but golfer's funny face and faffing ways are becoming as dear to me as if he were Edward Lewis serenading Pretty Woman from his white Lotus. We had a lovely weekend in Battle, seeing the sights,...

SWIMMING

A while ago I wrote about my problems with swimming, and notably my inability to keep my bum in the water when I was doing the breast stroke...well, I'm happy to say that, 2½ stones on from that, I can now swim without my buoyant bum floating to the surface....

WEIGHT WATCHERS WEEK 50

Damn! Plus 500g this week, I get the impression that this last stone is going to be hard to lose... Funny how your brain readjusts to the way you look and changes your body image; I've rarely been slimmer than I am now and yet I'm beginning to feel fat...

REASONS TO BINGE...OR NOT

Reason to binge: being faced with a stunning girl, legs up to here, boobs under her chin, skin like a peach and thirty years younger...feel inferior. Reason not to binge: going shopping with a plain, dumpy girl buying crisps and fizzy drinks...feel superior....

SICK TO DEATH

I am sooo sick of trying. I try so hard, I restrict my food when I want to eat, I walk and exercise when I don't want to, I spend a fortune on the dentist and the hairdresser and beuaty products and skin treatments... For years and years and years and...
