What Kind of Grandma Will You Become?
0 comments — posted 2011 Oct by Belinda Bull
Baking cakes, flying kites, knitting socks, doing cartwheels - what kind of grandma will you become?
I’m one of 6 children, the youngest of 4 girls, so I’ve always had 3 big sisters as role models - trailblazing their way through all the milestones in life. From the rebellious, feisty teenage tantrums and traumas, through power dressed, career driven 20 somethings , then baby brained, cosy new m...ummydom and recently empty nesters re-discovering their friends, their husbands, themselves and adult conversation, they’ve always been a great indicator of the thrills and spills I’ll have along the way.
But now with 2 of them already grandmas they are continuing to surprise and enlighten me – I spoke to one on the phone the other night and she told me how she’d spent a evening, sat on her sofa proudly stitching nametapes into tiny items of school clothing ready for her granddaughter’s first day at primary school. Then I bumped into the 2nd, breezing round Waitrose with her toddler grandson perched aloft her “skinny jean” clad hips, she was gathering together the ingredients to whizz him up some homemade hummus for his lunch. With these two proving to be pretty fab “Nanas” and the fact that grandmas nowadays are more likely to be climbing up Mount Kilimanjaro than climbing into a rocking chair to crochet it got me thinking about how the role has changed over the years and, though it’s a good few years away yet, what kind of grandma I’ll become!
Sadly I lost my grandparents over 20 years ago so all I have are photos and memories to remind myself of the 2 grandmas I did have. I do remember the one as being a strong, proud, matriarchal, slightly intimidating lady who instilled in us all the importance of good deportment and immaculate manners (and oddly a hatred of boiled cabbage!). My other grandmother was an altogether softer, quieter, cuddlier type with an seemingly endless supply of toffees, funny stories and knitted delights. Lovely as they both were they were what we think of as traditional grannies, as unlikely to roll around on the floor playing “rough and tumble” with their grandkids as they were unlikely to turn up to collect them from the school gates wearing a mini skirt and trendy boots!
So with these two opposite ends of the “grandma spectrum” what type will I, or indeed you, become. At the moment I’m rather fancying becoming the “Granny takes a trip” type – whizzing up to visit my grandkids in an open top sports car, bestowing perfumed hugs and “mwah” kisses, sweeties, and tales of what reprobates their parents were when they were young. Because I left it quite late to bear my children I might have to dismiss any ideas of getting down on my hands and knees to play with tiny train sets and teddy bear tea sets but only time will tell exactly how I’ll fulfil my role.
Of course I’m also massively aware that many women of my generation won’t ever become mothers, let alone grandmothers, through their choice or personal circumstance. But now, with so many fractured families and so few safe, celebrity role models, more than ever the role that aunts, Godmothers and female friends play is of huge importance in the lives of young girls.
So, whenever, if ever, however you get the chance to influence a youngster’s life enjoy it, surprise them and enjoy surprising yourself too! xx

Mum to a Teenage Daughter?
0 comments — posted 2011 Oct by Belinda Bull
This "joke" will mean something to you if you ever were, you've ever raised, or are indeed raising a teenage daughter...
A mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "Mum." With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter wit...h trembling hands:
Dear Mum,
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I've been finding real passion with Joe and he is so nice-even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion Mum, I'm pregnant and Joe said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Joe taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joe can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don't worry Mum, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grand children.
Your daughter, Judy
PS: Mum, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbour's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk centre drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home xx

5 Top Talcum Powder Tips!
0 comments — posted 2011 Aug by Belinda Bull
5 Top Talcum Powder Tips - and you thought it was just for babies' bottoms!
* If you plan to go on a pinic don't forget to pack a tin of talc - ants absolutely hate it and will keep away if you sprinkle some around your chosen site.
* Sprinkle talcum powder between your sheets on warm, balmy nights to ensure a cool, comfortable sleep.
...
* Give tatty, suede boots and shoes a new lease of life by dusting with talc, leaving overnight then brushing clean the next morning.
* This is one of Eva Longoria's top tips - dust a little baby powder onto eyelashes as a mascara primer for "fluffy", sexy lashes!
* If you are off to the beach with little ones this summer you might find this tip useful - rub talcum powder into your children's feet to magically remove sand and stop them tranferring half the beach into your car on the way home!

Letter to Mr.Cameron!
0 comments — posted 2011 Jul by Belinda Bull
We were sent this spoof letter and whilst it's not the most PC ever it amused us enough to copy and paste it onto here!...
Dear Mr Cameron,
Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK ’s economy.
Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses use the following plan.
You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan:
There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force.
Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations:
1) They MUST retire.
Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed
2) They MUST buy a new British car.
Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed
3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage -
Housing Crisis fixed
4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university -
Crime rate fixed
5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week .....
And there's your money back in duty/tax etc
It can't get any easier than that!
P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances
If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know.
Also……..
Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks.
They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance.
Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.
Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.
The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00+ per week and have no hope of ever getting out.
Think about this (more points of contention):
COWS
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria?
And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also;
Think about this ... If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for us grumpy old folk of Britain to speak up!
Words of Wisdom - You Know You Are Getting Old When...
0 comments — posted 2011 Jun by Belinda Bull
You now you are getting old when...
* There's nothing left to learn the hard way!
* You finally get your head together and your body starts falling apart.
* You feel like the morning after when you haven't been anywhere the night before.
* You don't have a few drinks at home, to save money, before going to a bar.
* The clothes you'd put away until they came back into in style... have come back in style
* It takes twice as long to look half as good.
* A £4.99 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff".
* 6am is when you get up not when you go to bed.
Gorgeous Model Mums!
