LABYRINTHITIS 2
I have made a huge mistake by going on our family summer holiday WAY too early. Now kids all BOOOOOOORED with nothing to do and I can’t be arsed to rush around in manner of alpha parent taking them to museums and art galleries.
OBVIOUSLY, I would normally behave like that but I still have this really strange thing called Labyrinthitis (or benign postural vertigo) which is making me feel terrible – dizzy and unbalanced. The most worrying thing about it is that my children don’t seem to have noticed me staggering about and bouncing off walls from time to time in manner of completely drunk person….clearly used to seeing me like that!
I have been back to the doctor and insisted on antibiotics even though he has told me that they won’t work. They worked for my blog mate Dumdad so they will hopefully work for me. I told him I had to have a go because I have to go back to work next week and attempting to teach a class where I keel over every time I do a spinal roll just won’t work. I’m slightly concerned to see though that some people end up having it for years! That better not be the case. Not sure I could cope.
My father said that he didn’t see why I couldn’t just incorporate it into my routine……which is frankly getting more comical by the minute – I can just see it now “elderly pilates teacher, with no core strength and a propensity to get cramp halfway through a leg stretch now interestingly adds a strange twirly spacial dance that involves several stumbles and a fall onto the floor”. Hmmm. Might just work.
NUTELLA BREAKFAST BRIEFING
23. August 2010
I hope that it was no coincidence that a few days after mentioning that I had taken my father a jar of Nutella in the hope that it would perk him up a bit I got invited to join a group of bloggers for a Nutella Breakfast briefing at Legoland.
I mentioned this to a male [...]
HOME AGAIN
18. August 2010
Back from spending a few days with my parents. Father (HOPEFULLY) on the mend after major operation number 85…..he’s just got to start eating again now. He seemed in quite good spirits all things considered and has now gone from consuming two tic tacks and one chocolate button in a day to two [...]

15. August 2010
My children are back in a few hours from their week at their father’s house and I can’t wait to see them. I’ve had a lovely week at home – being busy and spending lots of time with Builder Bloke and catching up with friends, but it’s very different without them around. I [...]

13. August 2010
I went to the doctor this morning. I have been feeling dizzy for the last five days and decided that self-diagnosis was no longer a feasible option.
It’s horrible. I feel as if I’m permanently on a boat – complete with weird head spinning motion when I try and get out of bed.
The first [...]
BODY OR FACE?
14. June 2010
Over the last three years of my on/off relationship with Builder Bloke it has become blindingly obvious to my friends when I am seeing him again. For lots of different reasons, but I think the main one is that I have got my “B-B-B-B-B” = My “Builder Bloke Beer Belly Back”.
I seem to develop little paunch that emerges almost overnight with all the eating and drinking that we seem to do. NOT GOOD. AT ALL. My body is meant to be a temple, not a pub.
He thinks it’s lovely. All that flesh that oozes out over my jeans. I hate it and keep tucking it in. He thinks it is a sign of motherhood. A trophy all us mother’s should wear with pride. He even told me that it was all the rage – that I have a designer paunch, like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. Good grief.
He thinks I look better because my face also tends to fill out (or blow up). Which makes it a very cheap form of filler and/or botox.
It seems that at our stage of life we have to make a choice. We have to choose between Body or Face – we can’t have both, which seems very unfair.
Skinny toned body = drawn rubbish face
Fat happy body = fat happy face
One or the other. That’s it.
That must mean that at one teeny weeny point about two weeks ago, my face and body were in perfect equilibrium. I must have missed my goddess moment. It was gone in a flash.
I now just have a beer gut that I have to tuck in to my jeans.

19. May 2010
I’m going to give you a little nudge about the competition I’m running at the moment because there aren’t nearly enough entries and whilst I’ve already got some good answers, I could do with some more. Anyway, I want to win. So much so I’ve had to decline the invitation to do a swimwear photoshoot – OK, the reason I can’t do it is because I can’t get cover for the class that I teach but WHAT was I thinking of? It’s bush city with the feet of a hobbit. Not good. Posing in swimwear??? Good grief. Not a chance. Unless they have a highly skilled airbrusher that can rub out everything but my eyelash extensions – they’re looking pretty good – although they are so long I keep getting twigs and leaves and bits of food stuck in them.
The spa treatment my friend who runs Lavish is offering is worth £150 and the great thing is you don’t have to live near any particular salon to take it. The voucher is accepted at over 40 locations nationwide. Give it to a friend. Your mum. Anyone. Just bloody enter. It’s not very difficult.
The Beachy Queen gift package from Lavish includes:-
- Full leg wax
- Bikini line wax
- Eyebrow shape
- Eyelash tint
- Mini manicure
- Mini pedicure
Click on this link to check it all out: – Beachy Queen Pamper Experience
If you want to enter the competition all you have to do is send me your answer to the following question:-
“I think I deserve the Beachy Queen Pamper Experience more than all my friends and family because…..”
Good luck.
