Put it away!

Nowadays the fashion may be more blase with more flesh on display than ever. But when, I ask, did underwear cease to be 'under' anything?

You can't seem to go anywhere without without seeing bras boldly poking from beneath strappy tops or low cut necklines.

Or the many coloured pants that poke their ugly heads over the top of the ever receding waist bands of today's youth.

What is the cause of this rather alarming trend? Are people so proud of their underwear that they cant help but have it on show or is the credit crunch causing our clothes to shrink to catastrophically small sizes?

Thongs are a prime example of this. Apparently we are now all so poor that owning an entire pair of pants is out of the question. We have to resort to stealing from the Dairylea factory to cover (or not so cover as the case may be) our behinds.

When will people realise that cheese strings do not constitute underwear!

just please please some one realise, I don't want to see your underwear no matter how pretty or grey or badly in need of a wash it is.

So put it away!!

Twilight and the obsession!!

Never mind good verses evil, there is a new much more interesting battle being held.

TWILIGHT VERSES HARRY POTTER!!!

A 107 year old vampire vs a teenage wizard? Doesn't seem like much of a contest does it? But i tell you picking a side is hard!
In fact i just give up, I LOVE BOTH HARRY POTTER AND EDWARD CULLEN!

Yes this makes me sound like a delusional teenage girl lost in my own head, but hey news for you, I AM a delusional teenage girl lost in my own head. It's fun!

I think both these book series are amazing, and am moderately....OK severely obsessed with both series and anyone who tries to make me pick a side is going to lose their head.

Though i do draw the line at actually falling in love with fictional characters, can i clarify that i love Edward Cullen and Harry Potter AS characters not as potential future husbands (that's just so wrong)(as is middle aged women asking 17 year old actors to sign there 'team Jacob' panties *shudder*)

There will always be books that thousands of people love and adore (look at pride and prejudice for one example) and honestly is fabulous!!

The fans are just nuts, its hilarious as are some discussion boards on fan sites , here's one of my faves from facebook, is seriously hilarious

As for everything else going on in my life non book related, well it will just have to wait because unlike the vampires I need to eat!

Bye!!

Tis the season to be Jolly (Busy)

Yes folks the Christmas season has been and gone! All that kerfuffle and then suddenly here we are back to the cold grey normalcy of a British January.

Christmas comes but once a year. Thank God for that! Relatives descend from on high with varying degrees decrepitude and insanity or just sheer embarrassment. And then the youngsters appear from behind mummy's skirts, all cute and cuddly one minute happy to be cooed over. The next minute they seem to have been main lining cola!

Note to all parents: Teenagers do not automatically = free baby sitter!!!

Seriously what makes you think I (who happens to be hiding behind am sizable amount of festive chocolate) have any chance of stopping your dearly beloved sproglets from bouncing on the ceiling and causing chaos?

I do not have a magical stick that i can poke your kids with to make them behave, nor do i have a drug like aura that makes them go to sleep.

What i do have is a fairly sizable mallet which I am more than happy to chastise said hyperactive kiddies with until they reach unconsciousness

so please if you want your children safe this Christmas, either
A) keep them away from all forms of caffeine or sugar
B) keep them away from me (I love them dearly but 24 hours a day for over a week is too much!)
or the safest option
C) all of the above

Love you all

P.s please note no children were harmed in the writing of this blog
P.P.s please notify me when the adults surface from there alchol induced comas brought on by new years
P.P.P.s when all family have finally returned to whatever corner they crawled from can friends please spring back to normal teenager mode and become a slave to msn as radio silence is darn annoying

Thank you

Merry Christmas

Happy Hanukkah

and er Bah humbug to all you Atheists!!

Oh the joys of Hallowen (and Mood swings)

Yet again Halloween has rolled around and am about to spend an entire night fending off small children begging for sweets.

My only chance of escaping these miniature hellions is to barricade the front door, close the curtains and pretend to not exist. Fun fun fun i can tell you. Thankfully our house has yet to be egged (though this could be the year) but that doesn't stop me fantasising about hanging out the upstairs window with a sniper riffle picking them off one by one.

Not that am a child killer mind you...but is awfully tempting lol !

(yes I am strange)

And then if the children aren't behaving badly the adults certainly are. But then maybe i am just bitter as didn't get an invite to any party's (sob sob poor me)

Ahh well think I'm going to go find (and eat) the stacks of haribo mother has put aside for said miniature hellions

too da loo!
