Dear Hugamuga and Dippity, This is what I expect on my birthday.   Be aware this is the minimum requirement of you, feel free to exceed expectations. 1.  I expect you to enter my bedroom (after knocking) and wish me a happy birthday before I get up.   Cup of black tea optional but welcome. [...]

This is my family at the party we had on Saturday night for my Dad (70) and my little sister (40). Make sure you keep the length, said my sister as we uploaded this photo today, we don’t want to look any fatter than necessary.  No worries I thought, that suits me! Ah.  This website [...]

My youngest child is 11

by Cellobella on Saturday, April 26, 2008

There have been a couple of things lately that have made me feel old. Trying to buy something hip hap’nin and groovy today… sigh. Being asked if my 18 year old daughter also had her hair done at my salon (I look old enough to have an 18 year old daughter now?!!!) and now little [...]

Yes she is EIGHT! And had a delightful day. Thanks to everyone who made her feel special today, she has gone to bed feeling much loved. And speaking of my favourite saying, I wrote today to Professor Laurel Thatcher Ulrich who first wrote the line “Well behaved women seldom make history”, and asked her the [...]
