That’s right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right….

So why Tiger Feet?  Well, “Tiger Feet” by Mud was number one in the charts on the day I was born.  I suspect it was also Pewari’s birth day song, as she is a whole 5 days older than me, the old trout.
I was also born in the year of the Tiger, according [...]

Introducing Tigerfeet, the Yorkshireman, Little’un et al

I had a quick look at my blog stats whilst slurping my soup at lunchtime today and I was somewhat shocked to find that someone had found Tigerfeet by entering “P!ssing with her @rse in the air” into a search engine. This pointed them to one of my posts of 31st July where I’ve posted [...]

Very New Friends and Very Old Ones

I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer so I took this afternoon off work and hot footed it up to South Yorkshire to see Babies Everywhere, Deckchair and beautiful brand new Babychair. They are all still in hospital after a traumatic birth but are on the mend and are hoping to be home soon.

A HUUUUUUUGE Congratulations to BabiesEverywhere & Deckchair…

…on the birth of their little girl, Babychair , who finally arrived yesterday afternoon after a long and particularly difficult labour (awful even by childbirth standards – mine was fairly straightforward but still excruciating).

Tiger, Tiger, Burning Bright…

Either I am incredibly slow on the uptake, or WordPress have just added the “Blog Stats” page to their free blogs.  Either way, I now have a new obsession – an hourly check to see how many people have passed this way and how some of them got here.  My particular favourite bit is the [...]

Healthy Eating

Aren’t children’s birthday parties great?  You dress your little darling up in their finest and take them along to the do, where they proceed to stuff their faces with every kind of crap imaginable, smear indelible food dye all over their beautiful party outfits and get ridiculously overexcited and very overtired.  Then you get to take [...]

The End of Party Season

Today was Little’un’s friend B’s 2nd birthday.  B is the youngest child of our circle of Mum & Littleun friends so her party marked the end of this year’s Season.  After a week of almost incessant rain, the sun broke out after lunch so all the children could run riot in B’s back garden and [...]

Why Blog?

All the hoo-hah (sp?) on Mumsnet recently has led to a spate of blogging on the subject, not just by my good self either.  Links to many of the blogs have found their way onto the Mumsnet talk board, and so obviously have had a few new readers, some of whom are not necessarily au fait [...]

Mumsnet vs Gina Ford – an update

I’m feeling slightly more rebellious today so I am going to name “That Author” here.  We are not allowed to even say her name on Mumsnet so I am going to get it out of my system here…
