Goodbye my friend ... its the end!
I have decided to close this blog down. I have been wrestling with this decision for about a month or so. There are a few reasons …
Firstly, I am not the single, divorced and dating gal I was two years ago when I this blog was born. The hilarious adventures of my dating disasters are long gone and replaced with a strong, meaningful, positive relationship. Whilst this is wonderful it does not…

My Arty Farty Smarty Pants Man …
So my birthday under the stars was pretty wonderful. My dearest friends, Artist and Me. BestFriendForLIfe and her man, NewlySingleFriend and her man, FunSingleGirl and her man, Sister and her man, Nephew and Daughter. With two of my guests allergic to Dog it was always going to be a risk in terms of the weather. This great Welsh weather did the usual and decided to piss down on our party.…

It’s my 50th birthday weekend. Hmmmmmm …. not exactly truthful but as I decided way back that I would just keep celebrating my 50th birthday each year that’s what I am sticking to. I admit that I have celebrated my 50th birthday quite a few times now, but hey who is counting huh? Damn F word … I do hate it so.
Artist and Me have been working hard in my garden getting it ready for my birthday…

The other night I went to charity event where BridesAuntie was singing her first gig with her band. Artist came with Me. All of DaughterInLaw’s family were there to give their support. The tickets were only £10 each and included a ‘chicken in the basket’ meal which I haven’t experienced since about 1973. There was also three bands, an auction and a raffle so I was really looking forward to…

Just got back from a week in the sun with Daughter. She cajoled Me into it. She said her dream was to drink cocktails on the beach with her Mammy. As she has Me wrapped around her horns what choice was there?
At the last minute I booked us a cheapie holiday to Gran Canaria. At £160 each it was an absolute bargain. The downside was that our hotel was right at the top of the valley in Puerto Rico…

Artist likes to spoil Me. I enjoy being spoiled. I had taken some pots of instant porridge to his house this weekend in readiness for him to make Me breakfast in bed. This morning I demanded he make me one of the porridge pots up.
“Are you sure you wouldn’t prefer a bacon sarnie?” asked Artist.
“Noooooooo” said Me resolutely languishing lazily in the tousled bed, “I have given up bread and…

Daughter has bought a car off God-Daughter. She paid for it out of her own money which she had saved through waitressing at the local pub. However, she is not 17 until September and looking at her little car sitting on the drive is absolute torture for her. We live in a very quiet spot, up a dead-end road, and immediately at the bottom of my drive is another dead-end road about 100 metres long ……

New place, red face, disgrace!
Artist and Me have just got back from a little break in Ireland. Damn fine trip. Four hour ferry, kindly paid for on Tesco ClubCard vouchers, and a lovely seaside cottage booked for three nights really cheaply. Absolute bargain and absolute excitement as I have never been to Ireland before. We stayed in Wexford which I have to say is stunningly beautiful. The countryside was completely…

Well Son3 has turned 18. After spell of a good few weeks where he had been rather sweet to me, he has slipped back into his old growly ways of late. I was filled with this persistent hope that on the morning of his 18th I would awake to find mature young man asleep in Son3′s bed. Instead I woke up to find vomit sprayed across the landing, up the walls, across the hall dresser and into the…

I was chatting with Father yesterday and telling him about Son2 breaking up with his girlfriend.
“Why did he break up with her?” asked Father. “I thought she was a lovely girl!”
“He said that the extra special something … that magic… it just wasn’t there for him” replied Me.
“Has he been reading too many RomComs or what?” said Father gruffly.
“Well I know what he means … that magic is important”…

Those kids of mine… I need a whine (and a wine) …
This motherhood malarkey isn’t all it’s cracked up to be you know.
Son1 is busy with his new wife and spending heaps of time with her family. He doesn’t reply to texts, he doesn’t talk to Me and he doesn’t pop in to see Me. Yet he spends absolutely LOADS of time with his in-laws. I’m jealous. Plain and simple jealous. I think he is proof of that age-old saying, “A daughter’s a daughter…

I am alive and grateful. Somewhere deep in me is a shed load of determination and resolve. I needed every bit of it to survive the Carten100 on Saturday. The wind was soooo strong it blew over a mahoosive tree on part of the route. It was a wild time alright, and not the sort of wild time I would enjoy.
I met the rest of my crazy crew at the train station at quarter to crazy on Saturday…

I was lost in this god awful day-dream earlier …. I was dreaming that I had to cycle 100 miles in heavy downpour of rain and 25 mph wind. Oh hold on … that was no god awful day-dream … that was nasty reality. Tomorrow morning I am getting up at quarter to stupid to meet Sister for a ride starting at our capital city and ending down West.
Sister encouraged Me to enter this event ages and ages…

So I got Me another qualification today. I am now a fully certified practitioner in the art of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Get me huh? I love qualifications… absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE qualifications. I really do have an ardent passion for collecting certificates.

Artist and Me are just rocking along very beautifully. He is super kind to TheOffSpring and that makes Me so damn happy. Husband2 was always such a shitbag to Son1 and Son2 and his attitude really underpinned why I always felt that I compromised my parenting of my first two boys. He wasn’t super mean, or beat the shit outta them or anything that open, it was always underhand, snidey, horrid,…

It has cost us 5p a carrier bag here in Wales for a couple of years now but I just cannot bear to pay for a bag. I really can’t. I carry extra-large unbreakable carrier bags in the boot of my car and stagger around the shops with them just to ensure that I don’t get mugged for 5p at the checkout. It drives Son3 mad. It drives Artist madder.
When we go shopping in my car all my…

Praise be to god there has been a miracle in the BeeBee household. Son3 has metamorphosed into a sweet lovely young man. To be honest I did wonder if body snatching aliens had landed and stolen Son3 but nope it is definitely not an alien version of him. That cute little bundle of smiling, happy, sunshine that once was my son has re-emerged and damn it feels good.
I suppose it all started with…
