Super Chesnuts.....

When I first started my blog it was to capture those little gems that kids say which if you are anything like me, you will soon forget.......Today it was the turn of Beansy to make me laugh but first I shall set the scene....it probably will get lost in translation but made me laugh a LOT!



Pixie is naked having taken off her skirt to do a poo on the loo......quick as a flash, BoBo whips her skirt up and puts it on before prancing (yep, he really was) around saying "I'm Mummy's little girl...ooooooooohhhhh"

Pixie then flings herself (yep, she really does) onto the floor wailing and kicking saying "NO, I am Mummy's girl"

This goes on for about 2 minutes when Beansy then pipes up "Mummy, your kids really are weirdos aren't they?"


See, lost in translation but has made me laugh again!!! 

I have cross dressing, naked dancing, temper tantrum throwing kids, but do you know what?!  I wouldn't swop them for love or money!!!!

Peace and Love

Appliance Online could make my (and your!) dream come true!

As most of you know from my various rantings on twitter or real life, my washing machine is the bane of my life.   It has served us well these last 16ish  (oh when things were built to last) years but has been very temperamental these past few months and finally gave up the ghost a few months ago.

We have been unable to replace this due to financial constraints, so when I was having a moan to the very sexy voiced Yossi over at Appliances Online he told me that if I made a video plea that I might just get my wish come true!!

Never one to turn down a challenge, I got the kids involved and we came up with a very silly poem that we then captured on video before rushing off to school.  I love that when you listen to this, you can hear the kids laughing at me in the background..too cute!






The great thing about this is that you choose the prize - what is it that you most desire???  I went for the Samsung eco bubble washing machine as not only does it have an 8kg wash it is also A+++ efficiency rating which means that not only does it offers a unique blend of advanced design and technology, it also achieves top class energy consumption (30 percent less than the limit for an “A Energy” rated washer).

What really appeals to me though is the "bubble technology" which dissolves the washing powder into the water and then injects air, which produces a rich soapy foam cushion that begins to appear in the drum seconds after the normal cycle starts. The detergent is so thoroughly dissolved into the water, it doesn’t need as much hot water (unlike me, I know I am waffling on but it is such a great advance in technology) to aid the cleaning and penetrates deeper into clothes up to four times faster than conventional washers.

What this basically means is that it can wash at 15°C temperatures whilst delivering an unbeatable 70 percent energy saving. 

How amazing is that?!!!

If you fancy having a go yourself, or you just want to have a giggle at my video, then head on over to Appliances Online Facebook page.  My video plea is on the 2nd page.....

I would love it if you could comment on their page and please, please enter yourself!!!

Peace and Love

The Muslim News is Happy About the Scottish Election Results

Labour, SNP, Tories, Lib Dems...doesn't really matter to the Muslim News, as long as they're Muslims. Hell, they'd probably even be happy about a BNP member being elected - as long as he was a Muslim too. The newspaper happily reports on the two Muslims, Humza Yousaf and Hanzala Malik, who recently won appointment to the Scottish parliament through the undemocratic regional list system.

In amidst the gushing reportage, there are a few interesting nuggets of information. For example, there is further evidence, as if any were needed, on the SNP's self-debasement in pursuit of Muslim votes:

The majority of his [Yousaf's] time therefore was spent campaigning on behalf of Nicola Sturgeon. He even arranged for the Deputy First Minister to visit a packed restaurant hall showing the Pakistan India World Cup cricket match.


Oh, yes, no need to bother campaigning for your own election when you're going to be appointed, not elected.

Weeks before the election the SNP published a leaflet in Urdu. It highlighted the £1m it gave to aid the Pakistani flood relief, its opposition to the Iraq war as well as its critical stance on the Israeli siege of Gaza.


This is shocking. I didn't know the SNP had wasted taxpayer money donating to Pakistani flood relief. Yet again we see the SNP's foreign aid going to Islam-dominated countries; and they choose to highlight it in their election literature, published in Urdu so real Scottish people can't read it. This is blatant abuse of power. They are giving money away as foreign aid to win over domestic voter groups.

The article also has an interesting quote from Hanzala Malik:

“But for the last 15 years Alex Salmond has been engaging with the Muslim community. It was the SNP that introduced a bill to criminalise forced marriage and we are the only Scottish party, unless the situation has changed recently, that supports the right of the Kashmiri people to determine their own future.”


What does this mean? "It was the SNP that introduced a bill to criminalise forced marriage". It sounds as if he is saying that as a criticism of the SNP. So, presumably, he must be in favour of forced marriage? I think it's time a journalist asked Hanzala Malik pointedly what his position on forced marriage is.

Malik also makes it clear that he intends to agitate on behalf of Muslims rather than act in the interests of the Scottish people as a whole:

He will also focus on the effect of economic downturn on the minority communities. “Economic squeeze hurts minority communities more than anybody else and they need to be assisted,” he said.


There were also some more interesting details on Hanzala Malik's career:

He also recently helped with the transfer of two fire engines from Strathclyde Fire and Rescue to the Punjab.


What the f*ck are we doing, giving free fire engines to the Punjab?

Hanzala was the spokesman for Glasgow City Council on International Affairs.


Why the f*ck does Glasgow City Council need an International Affairs Spokesman? What a freaking joke! The delusions of grandeur among our mickey mouse politicians are astounding. Alex Salmond likes to give taxpayer money away in foreign aid so he can feel important; the munchkins on Glasgow City Council like to speak out on international affairs so they can indulge their own sense of grandiosity.
