Supernatural - having missed most of it til now I'm enjoying my 60 episode marathon. And the Padalackles twins are just too CUTE for someone my age to fancy in all seriousness

Mummy jeans with several unidentifiable and possibly unhygienic stains on them that Vanish is powerless to erase

4. Last thing you bought?
Two enormous recycling tubs from Costco. Am absurdly happy that the local council has decided upon mixed recycling kerb collections. Am sad.

Captain Mack - the poor mother's Lazytown (but slightly less sanctimonious)
6. was the question I got rid of... check out Alphamummy's response instead...

Notes from inside my head
Over at Alphamummy, Jen Howze has answered a list of questions that are playing tag round the net. She has now 'tagged' me and charged me with answering the same questions, but taking one out and adding a new one of my own. While I think of a snazzy question and some terribly clever answers to the other ones, go over there and have a look. I'll be back soon with my version!
