If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment, If you can conquer tension without medical help, If you can relax without alcohol, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, Then You Are Probably The Family Dog (And you thought I was going … Read More »

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business. Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together. He said, “It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO. I have decided to choose one of you. “The young executives were Shocked, but the boss continued. “I am going to give each one of you a SEED today – one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water … Read More »
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other totally worn out and screaming !!! “Whoop whoop what a ride!! I wanna go round again!!”
DOES WEIGHT DEFINE CLASS? I keep coming across articles in mags and tabs about weight defining class, you may have heard the saying ‘you can never be too rich, too blond or too thin’ is it true? Recently Health minister and MP Anna Soubry told a national newspaper that the overweight people in her constituency are normally poor. ”When I go to my constituency, in fact when I walk around, you can almost now tell somebody’s background by their weight”. I was outraged when I read this, don’t get me wrong I am delighted that Ministers are threatening food manufacturers with legislation unless they … Read More »

A very happy Christmas from Cupcake and Marigold. We’ve had an exciting year – one of emotional highs, unexpected demands, impossible deadlines and life affirming experiences, and now we’re ready to put our feet up for Christmas, if not literally, at least in our minds. Whatever you are doing this Christmas, wherever you are and whether you choose to celebrate with loved ones or just close the door on the world outside, we wish you a warm and peaceful holiday.

WOULD YOU DO THIS: How many times have things happened and you have said to yourself….wow I would NEVER have done that, spoken like that, looked like that, acted like that, behaved like that… Well there is a big cluster of people who don’t consider anyone but themselves. Is it courage or stupidity, is it ‘super hip cool’ or pure ignorance, maybe it is a complete disregard and disrespect and it is every where! Could be as simple as a fellow driver cutting in or cutting you up, someone jumping the queue in the bank, people who are very very late for appointments AND … Read More »

At last, a victory for common sense. Congratulations to the Home Secretary Theresa May for deciding Asperger’s sufferer Gary McKinnon will not be extradited for hacking into computers at the Pentagon. This whole sorry story would have potentially ended in tragedy, had it not been for the brave and consistent battle put up by Gary’s mother, Janis Sharp, whose love for her son and endless courage defied the red tape, politics and beaurocracy surrounding this case. Alas, it is all too often the families of those most vulnerable in society who have to battle endlessly for justice. Janis’ persistance will give hope to many … Read More »
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE WORK PLACE Jimmy Savile and now it is alleged Freddie Star was involved… (according to the press and we all know how reliable that is!) wow, the debate is building at a furious rate, should Sir Jimmy loose his knighthood? apparently David Cameron has hinted this could be done! why didn’t any one do something at the time, was this a given that if you worked in the world of show biz that dirty old men would cop a feel, I read Colleen Nolan had a ‘lucky escape’ thanks to her older sisters. and it seems now he defended Gary … Read More »

My husband wants a dog. I don’t want a dog. My husband wants a dog and says we will have to fence the garden. I don’t want a dog and I don’t want to fence the garden. My husband wants a dog and says we have to make the garden really secure, maybe make some changes. I don’t want a dog. I’ve had dogs, and as much as I love them, they mean work. This sounds like expensive chaos. My husband wants a dog, says we have to make the garden really safe and may have to change the terrace. The terrace? Where is … Read More »
Many congratulations to Rory McIlroy on his Ryder Cup success yesterday, and for making the last minute dash to the course in an unmarked police car with only minutes to go to Tee off time before being disqualified. For the first time ever, I found golf exciting! marigold xx

Who are the disabled parking police who think it is their right to criticise who does, and doesn’t park in the designated disabled bays? I refer not to traffic wardens or officials, but to members of the public who at the first opportunity to interfere, ask if people have a right to park in the designated spaces. Today I drove a severely disabled man to the supermarket in his especially adapted vehicle. I parked in the disabled bay but before I could even turn off the engine or display his blue badge, an elderly woman mouthed ‘You don’t look disabled’ at me. What on … Read More »
I was waiting in the check out queue at Sainsbury’s, the couple in front were chatting, they were in their 30′s (I was not trying to listen!) every few words were “you know” with that question type up inflection on the end, it went on and on… A few days later and I am listening to the radio, interesting interview but yet again the young lady talking was ” you know, you know, you know”… is this the latest form of punctuation! It is used on the radio and TV interviews all the time, be it celebs, politicians or members of general public… I … Read More »
