4 Things You Should Never Do
- Never assist or offer to assist a man with lighting a fire, especially if you get it lit and he cannot – unless you are in the mood for stomping and sulking, you will unleash the five year old within him!
- Never “pop” to the shop in an old tracksuit sans makeup – Murphy’s Law you will meet everyone you know, including an old sweetheart from your younger days! 😳
- Never wax your eyebrows in hurry, or any other body part for that matter, repeat after me – waxing should be left to the professionals– unless you want to attend a dinner party with only one eyebrow!
- Never and this is a NEVER EVER, leave young children playing “quietly” while you enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend – unless you would like your walls and floors, redecorated with permanent marker! 😕
4 Things You Will Not Be Able to Live Without
Ok – so this was quite hard for me, picking just 4 things – tricky one! This does not include things like God and my family because that is a given!
- My first item that I could not live without is my hairdryer – “OMW” scary stuff , you have to see the “before” and then the “after” to truly understand why, I am not into the whole “shaggy do” look – unfortunately no photo’s!

- My morning coffee – well to put it simply you do not want to be around me before I have my coffee, I am so not a morning person! ( I have been known to take my ‘Lavazza’ machine on holiday with me – yes it is that bad)
- My camera is next on the list – I am slightly obsessed with “capturing the moment”, I married a man who hates photos, well “hated” them-he is now a convert!

- My last item would have to be “spell check” or my dictionary and thesaurus – yes I am notoriously bad at spelling, my secret is out – thank goodness for a husband who is a language boffin! My editor extraordinaire.
What are the 4Things you could not live without? I would love to hear from you – it could be fun to compare notes!

4 Things You Might Not Know About Super Mom
Four things you might not know about Super Mom:
- I have an annoyingly keen sense of smell – I would make a great hunting dog!
- I hate small, confined spaces; an aeroplane plays havoc with my claustrophobia – isle seat for me!
- I always wanted to become a world famous fashion designer, never say never – move over Marc Jacobs!
