Remind the world of goodness

is being able to turn OFF the television which serves no purpose except as a means for my daughter to watch the last (sickly) scene of the discount Dirty Dancing dvd over and over and over again. I KNOW you’re haaaavin the time of your liiiyyyfffe but not in my bloody living room you’re not.

DRIVING ME NUTS.

Okay, am getting back into control with the help of Mr Stevens and a lot of deep breathing. Life without Baby and Johnny is goodness itself.

is that it doesn’t always rain in Normandy.

Go me, this Monday morning positive thinking idea is really working.

is passing on all your old make-up to your daughter. She’s in HEAVEN. For me it’s an annoying box full of unsorted junk with no tops on (and precisely when did I decide orange and purple nail varnishes were a good idea?), and tangled up cheap jewellery. For her Father Christmas has come.

And for my son, it’s potion making time. You can’t beat old contact lens solution and anti-wrinkle cream (I’m not that old) for making a good potion.

Oh no, my reverie was just interrupted when my son descends with a tampax and says ‘yes, this’ll make a good stirrer’.

is going to be learning how to make music cds so that I can put all my kids favourite songs together in one place. They would LOVE that.

it would be easier to get them ipods and have them work it out, but even I haven’t got one, and well, it’s a bit antisocial.

Maybe we could do this together. Oooh. Weekend mission. Gratification for all the family. And then I can inflict my music on even more people cos I’ll know how.

is watching all the old wrinklies, whose eyes are always glittering away with some secret you will never know. I love my old wrinklies. Shit in the beds and all. May we grow old with half their dignity.

is getting arlo in the post from the wonderful sally kitt.

what’s this about closed sessions? How did that get on the headlines of GoogleNews! Have my prayers been answered? Will the revolution happen? Will Americans take their country back?

Will the democrats be any better? Oh God pleeeease….

americans didn’t actually vote for him.

So there’s no point hating them ( a lot of americans I know feel hated, but then so do the French). It’s a really weeny proportion of them that earn their money putting on the fake news or TV doing Bushist political shit.

So let’s hear it for the rest of them! Americans, we love you. Will you please just get on with the revolution? (ok now will I be done for “convention offence” under Charles Clarke’s new patriot act – which covers eveyone living outside the uk, it seems).

What is a convention offence? I read Schedule 1, but it didn’t make it any clearer. If it is an offence against convention, well, we’re all off to hell in a handbasket, milord.

just have to find some. The reminding part should be easy.
