Favourite Song Meme
I’ve been tagged by The MadHouse to post my favourite song.
This song was the first song played after the ‘first song’ at my wedding. In other words the bit where we finally relaxed and started to enjoy married life. Everytime I hear it brings back lots of happy memories and feelings and makes me feel uplifted.
I’d like to know the favourite songs of;
Family Affairs
Are We Nearly There Yet Mummy
A Modern Mother
and
Jo Beaufoix
Treasure Hunt
I used to love treasure hunts when I was younger so I’m really excited about this. Huggies have teamed up with Disney and are holding an online treasure hunt that will see participants solve riddles, discover the hunny pots to win. The hunny pots will be found on fourteen sites – four of the top parenting websites, and ten parenting blogs.
The treasure hunt begins TODAY and there’ll be one riddle per day for fourteen days.
The top prize is a weekend in Disneyland Paris!
Good Luck!
I’m a Celebrity – Fantasy Campers

The twelve campers I’d love to see on “I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” as started by Nixdminx
Gerard Butler – We’d need some eye candy. Enough said..
Gordon Brown & David Cameron – I’d like to hear what they have to say when they don’t have their spin doctors and advisers to help them.
Richard Branson – How would he cope without his luxury yacht & private island. Would he be entrepreneurial even in the jungle?
Elton John – I reckon he would keep the campfire songs going, also his strops would make for great entertainment!
Prince Charles – I have to say I think he’d be useless at chores and camp life but for some reason I think he’d rock at the icky bush tucker trials.
Nigella Lawson – Let’s see how lusciously sexy she can be when chomping down on kangaroo testicle or witchetty grub.
Jodie Kidd – I think she’d probably be really good at it and end up winning
Michelle Obama – I reckon she might end up being the leader, taking control of camp and whipping Elton and Prince Charles into shape.
Amy Winehouse – A chance to detox and get back to making great music?
Catherine Zeta Jones – We don’t get to see enough of her, she’s always hiding away with Michael.
Cheryl Cole – I’ve become quite fond of her since she’s been on X Factor, maybe she could give Jodie a run for her money.
Dirty Dyson Dancing
This is a video that I’ve done for Dyson. Dyson sent us their handheld cleaner and asked us to write a post, film a video or take pictures. They wanted something “kooky/slightly more unusual” so here’s my effort revealing what we really do when we’re cleaning
High Rolling Mummy
A conversation between Nana and Erin while I was away in Port Aventura.
Nana: What job does daddy do?
Erin: He drives buses [he's a bus driver]
Nana: What about me?
Erin: You look after children [she's a childminder]
Nana: …and what does Granny do?
Erin: …looks after old ladies [she's a careworker]
Nana: What does Mummy do?
Erin: She player ‘pokers’ at the dark castle [hmmm...think I need to put her straight on a few things]
Picture Perfect Meme

Tara started this one (she starts a lot of things) and I was tagged by Linda. Basically I had to get Erin to do a drawing of me, and here it is…
Erin’s three. I have a head which seems to double as a body, long arms and I look like a cross between a Little Miss from Mr. Men and Hitler, an interesting combination. The squiggles at the side of the head are my cheeks, they often hang off the side of my face. My hais is a mess at the moment as depicted in the picture with many, many squiggly lines.
So there you have it Little Mummy as drawn by Erin.
Scotland Needs You!

Big news, Disney have announced that they’ll be choosing a town to be twinned with, you’ve guessed it, Walt Disney World, Florida!
The competition is open and we’re expecting a fierce battle (well as fierce as it gets with anything Disney!). It’s up to us to put Scotland on the map, don’t you think it should be a Scottish town that is twinned with the most magical place on earth? The Americans are always telling us that their roots are in Scotland, we’re practically brothers all already, and rumour has it that Mickey Mouse himself has a little Scottish blood in him.
It’s only right that it’s a Scottish town that can proudly display a sign linking them with Disneyworld and one lucky family (the nominees) will be jetting all the way to Florida to attend a special ceremony marking the twinned town status of their homeplace.
Entries can be submitted via this website and you can use photos, poetry, video and any other ways you can think of to back up your claims that your town, city or village is the best ever.
Scotland….our time has come, forget the Battle of Bannockburn it’s history, becoming the twinned city of Disneyworld is here and now, we must battle hard to ensure that we rise above the rest and take this coveted title for ourselves!
I'm a 27 year old mum to 4 year old Erin. We live just outside Edinburgh in a small village. I've been blogging for four years and write about anything and everything that takes my fancy.
