Guest Post: Does Nanny Know Best?

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 28, 2010, 4:00 am
Surburban Mum has very kindly let me post here anonymously since I needed to get this off my chest, but people read my blog who I don’t want reading this.   So thanks so much Jen. I have been going through something of an epiphany lately.  The realisation that these two children I have ...

Needy

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 27, 2010, 6:24 pm
This evening I was supposed to be visiting a friend.  It’s been arranged for a week or so, but even so I had texts last night and this morning checking I was still going.  It’s not unheard of that I sometimes cancel arrangements at the last minute, I admit, but I usually have good reas...

It's all my fault

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 26, 2010, 6:02 pm
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t like confrontation. For some reason, however, I seem to attract it and it always leaves me feeling on edge, wound up, on the verge of tears and struggling to defend myself, even when the cause of the dispute isn’t actually my fault. A classic example...

Review and Giveaway: Fathers Day T-Shirts by Force18

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 25, 2010, 6:31 am
(This is a sponsored post) I am a sucker for a t-shirt with a funny slogan.  So when the lovely people at Force 18 asked me to review their shirts, I jumped at the chance. They have hundreds of designs on their site, including the option to design your own slogan, but frankly there is such a huge...

Good Spam

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 11, 2010, 6:26 am
Normally the spam I receive involves dodgy links or generic “I like your post” type things.  But this one did amuse me so I thought I’d share (click the image to get it full size):

Easter Sunday

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 6, 2010, 2:32 pm
SH surprised me over the weekend by declaring that we would all be getting up early and going out for the day on Easter Sunday.  The most surprising aspect of this was the getting up early part, especially as it was his day to get a lie-in.  But he knows that I’ve been a bit down about stayi...

Handbag Challenge

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Apr 2, 2010, 3:13 pm
Way back at the beginning of March, Karen at If I Could Escape… challenged me to reveal the contents of my handbag.  I’ve waited till now mainly because my old bag was falling apart and I was far too ashamed of it to show it off; but now I’ve been paid I’ve bought a nice shi...

Chilli-tastic

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Mar 27, 2010, 6:32 pm
At the request of Milo, this is one of my favourite recipes.  It’s proper comfort food, spicy yet sweet and very, very filling.  The recipe is from Nigella Express. Ingredients 150g chorizo sausage, halved lengthways then cut into half moons (I have to be honest; I usually use the whole th...

Why I hate weekends

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Mar 22, 2010, 6:24 pm
I really don’t look forward to weekends.  48 hours, all three of us in our little house, does not make a happy home. We snipe. We quarrel. We throw things (well the kiddo does).  We sulk (that would be SH).  We wish we could go back to work (all me). The start of this weekend was no diffe...

Laminated List – All New and Updated

Suburban Mum posted an article on - Mar 16, 2010, 9:18 am
Over the weekend I was trying to recover some of my old lost posts from before I did one and deleted it all last summer, and I stumbled across this post from May 2008 detailing who’d I’d put on my laminated list.  Oh dear… how embarrassing.  Anyway, I thought it was about time I updated

A few weeks ago I was asked if I’d like to review a new washing powder.  “Bold 2in1″ were introducing Perfume Micro Capsules that infuse your washing with freshness bubbles which, whenever the fabric is touched, release fragrance throughout the day, supposedly to leave your clothes smelling...
