Dr Tired and Cranky

July 10, 2010

Did you know: I have a PhD in being tired and cranky. I’m not an expert and many things, but on being tired and cranky, I qualify for an award. Gone for days without sleep? Yep done a field study on that. Risen to feel like vomiting because of fatigue? Yep, experienced that. Woken up with a splitting [...]

My Style 2.7.10: Feminine

July 7, 2010

I rarely shop at teen orientated shops like, Supré, Fashion Fair and Valley Girl. I’m sure this will change once my girls are older. There are a few reasons for this.

The B Team

April 2, 2010

What about the A team I hear you ask. Well, if your surname is Armstrong, Agnew or Anderson, you would belong to the A Team. But us Burstows, we’re the B Team. This is a concept our family has had a lot of fun with. It’s nice to belong, isn’t it? I’ve worked hard to [...]
