Petticoat glory and apron delight and bloody hell I LOVE oven chips! It's all so wonderful! Kitty of Kitty's Vintage Kitsch came over the other day to drop off our gramaphone player and I was in me knickers, stacking shoe boxes in the lounge with the house looking perfectly appalling. Bless her. Dancing in the kitchen is compulsory and look at that damn fine soup and cheese feast with puss pretending to be disinterested in licking the Stilton;) xoxoPull Your Socks Up!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14147274267016718793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-2638124084037473762012-11-14T04:28:40.527-08:002012-11-14T04:28:40.527-08:00Goddes of domesticity, hmm let me see, come over a...Goddes of domesticity, hmm let me see, come over and do *my* hoovering and we'll see!

I kind of left Pat holding the fort all day Saturday and I'm kind of happy to say the house was an utter tip when I got back, I was a bit worried Pat would have managed brilliantly then he'd be wondering why I don't. It's good to let everyone see this place may be a mess most of the time but I am keeping it just about afloat. xxCityScape Skybabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664705819999740018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-91220714145586233322012-11-11T16:48:02.070-08:002012-11-11T16:48:02.070-08:00Being an excellent housekeeper is overrated - you ...Being an excellent housekeeper is overrated - you are definitely having way more fun making wonky cakes (it looks very yummy!) flashing your frills and dancing in the kitchen and I applaud you for it!

They will always remember their mum in the garden, being herself. Who cares about flawless dusting and perfect cakes? Fact is, they'll remember a funny, loving mum who made delicious comical cakes, and took them hiking. <br /><br />Classic domesticity is highly overrated. But I think you've already got the memo. Lucky kids!!<br /><br />Love the red petticoat, too.

Cake, new pot, devil horns with matching outfit, your sassy ways, cats and your glass cabinets. Oh and humor. About dickies, a men's work pant. The brand is called Dickies. Also yes my sister and I have talked. I think that it was because of her that my mom doesn't talk to me. Its so screwed up. I'm just trying to keep my distance for now.

I have lost faith in all humanity now!<br />Yeah, I only clean enough to avoid the spread of disease so I can relate. <br />You have 3 kids and pets, so you're still a domestic goddess in my book if you can manage to keep them all alive. (Not so sure I'd have any luck in caring for kids. Pets I can handle.)<br />Thanks for your comments regarding my blog. I had the sense that it was user unfriendly, but maybe it's not? I could see you in that 1970s-doing-1940s vintage dress I just bought. The vegan Yorkshire pudding I had was pretty good.
