words to live by

Well I have been a busy bee yet again.. Organising events for the children and getting up to mischief myself.. Everyone should do this once in a while. One note that I would like to point out is very important for all parents to listen to. When taking a 7 year old into a public toilet, try and divert her attention away from the graffiti on the cubicle wall. Or you may be quizzed on ' what does (suck my dick) mean mummy?' All while trying to keep a straight face and gently brush the topic away to , 'Yes you can have that lovely DVD you wanted.' Bloody Sainsburys!

If its not enough with this Swine flu lark, sick bugs blah blah blah, ................Surely there is someone holed up somewhere creating all these things! I blame the pharmaceutical companies for this. 'Lets make something that we only have the cure for' grrr

Anyway, A few days ago we were filmed as a family to do a recycling campaign.. It all went very smoothly and we had a tremendous time doing it. The kids lasted all day , as did I.!! It is funny how many old ladies would queue behind the til we were filming at thinking it was real.. They really are oblivious to anything.. I must say this particular day it was most definately pensioner day! People drifting through the scene in the background and cars revving and wrecking the sound. But the fantastic bit was Busta and pong. Busta being a HENSON puppet. He was puppetiered by Mark and his daughter did Pong. I am sure in a few weeks you will be able to view it all.. Here is the site for the campaign. Schools are encouraged to get involved. Katy, in charge of the shoot for wastebuster is fantastic! In controll the whole time and kept things running smoothly! A real pleasure!

It is a brilliant idea and if we all did it, well things would be so much better.

Lennon particularily loved the day.. He got loads of attention and even showed Mark how to wee on the Mint in the garden! Kate took lovely photos of the day and I cant wait to see them, she is currently in the process of making her own site so bookmark it.

I enjoyed it alot since it has been ages since I was in front of the camera. I am more behind the scenes girl these days. Shooting the kids and painting. shooting the kids as in taking photos and videos not actual shooting of with a gun, although, these holidays are somewhat dragging out! hehe..hmmmmmmmm

Well I am going to crack open a lovely bottle of wine and go and watch the sunset in my back garden.
