In the middle of the week , in the midst of a flurry of FB Messenger messages, the idea was brought forward, that we should have matching t shirts for the Operation Transformation 5 K this Saturday. Fluffy Duffy took admirable leadership control, as the MMM's got totally flustered in relation to what nickname they wanted on the back, and what we would actually call ourselves. A call was put out to, none other than, bigfoodiemama to assist, and I very swiftly came up with the name Krill Oil Krazies for the merry bunch. This was greeted with a lot of positivity as I posted " How about Krill Oil Krazies ?? ....KOK for short :)" Ha Ha ! After another 179 messages, our collective names were decided and I for one was delighted that BFM would finally have a personalised garment, as was Cantering Claire, Transformation Tracey, Swivelling Sharon, Flyer Maguire, Kamakaze Kerr, Mighty Martha, Twinkletoes, Fluffy Duffy, MILF and Trotting Teresa. The order was placed and in great a...

Huge apologies fans. Having checked, I have failed to supply you with an update on my life since January 24th.....disgraceful. I vow to make far more regular contributions, as part of a heavy Lenten campaign. I have simultaneously, for the first time ever (and quite possibly the last) decided to give up the drink. GASP, a teetotaller, obviously think that drink improves my hum our or state of mind, as he is not keen that I desist from my Sauvignon Blanc, and has asked that I reconsider. Needless to say, certain friends of mine......all my friends will have a similar opinion but I am going to have a go, in the knowledge that, Easter Monday, I will be hungover !

Maxi, friend of the Mad One, very kindly invited me to her house on Friday night last for said party. It has the makings of a great night as it combined girls, drink and shoes....what...

There is no need to be envious of us right at this moment. Ok so our holiday home is fab, the location perfect, the island idyllic, the beds comfortable and the weather great....big deal ! Waterford delivers every time. Mind you the techno moron in me has been asked to deliver. First, I had to work out how to open the front door of our lodge on Waterford Castle Island. I know I was told to just hold the card in front of the door and the light would go green but I did have a couple of dud attempts before the front door swung open on our ultra modern home for the week. Now we live in a standard bungalow at home but now I am faced with flat screen tv, Neff kitchen, Miele appliances, Smeg fridge and a wall mounted gas fireplace thing with a remote control ! Blimey ! There is apparantly a non touch system for something in the bathrooms but it is obviusly not the lights as I sat in the pitch dark on the loo this morning waving like a US fan at the world cup !Eldest son is entrhalled that his...
