New Yorker Corker!
Aah - you've just gotta love New York. What more perfect place to go and celebrate Janine's 'Big' birthday? The sun was out, the air was crisp, the sky was blue, it even sprinkled a light dusting of snow – then pissed down as we were already sitting on the plane to go home – you couldn't…

Little Yellow Door
Hats off to the girls for a top belated birthday night out this Thursday – you know I'm a total sucker for secret bars, and we managed to break into another cracking one this week. When I say 'break into' – its one of those moments when you have to love the anonymity of email.…

Bounce!
At the close of a very active year, Nicky & Sophie had their 'end of the Myeloma Challenge 2014' party last night, at a place called Bounce. True to its name there was indeed a whole lot of bouncing going on – fortunately not of the trampoline variety (that's no good to keep a bucketload of Hurricane cocktails…

Nice et Cannes ooh la la
Well, obviously I just HAD to follow the last post with an immediate update on a lovely long weekend away – well, a girl can't JUST work can she? (Certainly not this one..) Just back from 3 nights in Cannes with Janine & Ross and Stewart & Helen Macintosh, staying in the most ludicrous porn…

Working my ass off
Yep – there's a title you will very rarely see on my blog (or at least, I hope not…!) Have been a bit remiss of late at posting stuff as dear BAT are keeping my usually fairly idle hands somewhat busier than I am used to. And not just with cradling a sneaky fag between…

Birthday Weekend
Having had my birthday somewhat rudely gazumped by the 2 day BAT workshop plonked right on top of it, it could have been a total blow out this year. But – fab that a few rather nice things did indeed make the last few days feel like a birthday weekend after all. So thanks to…

Mum’s 85th Birthday
Blimey, the old dear has officially made it to the grand old age of 85. And Mum is still in amazingly good health, which she probably puts down to the 2 bags of Walkers crisps she extorts from Silviya or me every day. So Hawksey and I decided to take her out for a bit…

My 500th Post
I can hardly believe it – when I set this up 6 years ago, I certainly never thought that I'd still be entertaining / boring the baps off you all a whole 6 glorious years later. In this time, there have been nearly 22,000 views (and no, my Mum isn't on there 100 times a…

Prepping for granny’s birthday
Well, by granny I actually mean Mum, we just call her granny these days. If it was my actual granny it would be her 114th birthday and while the Dutch are a hardy bunch, that really would be quite impressive. So Mum is nearly 85, and what do you get an 85 year old who…

E Viva Espana..
Had SUCH a lovely weekend in Valencia with a group of AV girls, to celebrate Janine's 'nearly 50th' birthday, not least because it was still a whacking 27 degrees in the Spanish sun compared to the 'just gone from a lovely long Indian summer to pissing with torrential October rain overnight' in the UK at the same…
