Congratulations on being Short Listed for the Irish Blog Awards!!!
ReplyDeleteRight! Where do I buy a copy!
ReplyDeleteLOL I feel a pre-school disco coming on! One of my fave tracks to play and sing with my 4-year-old as he gets ready for nursery is 'Mama Said Knock You Out' by LL Cool J. Quite wrong from many angles, but there you have it!
ReplyDeleteBelated congrats on your blogoversary by the way.
very good!! have actually missed mothers day as am in the states. which hasn't necessarily been a bad thing. except i've just realised that i forgot to send MY mum some flowers. and i promised my brother that i'd organise it. WHOOPS!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!! Can I pre-order it now? =)
ReplyDeleteCan I put an early order in for the summer holiday version ?
ReplyDeleteOK,OK. Orders for the Summer Holiday version will be taken from 1st June. I think it may kick off with 'Rehab' - Amy Winehouse!
ReplyDeleteVery funny! My husband bought me one of those compilations actually and he was in a rush so just picked up the first one he saw - I tried to look pleased when I saw it had Tom Jones and Engelbert Humperdinhk on!!!!!(he is taking it back though, as I obviously growled a bit, and he thus got the message that it was a crap choice meant for his mother not his wife).
ReplyDeleteCongrats on shortlisting - wow!
Fantastic, my fav has to be Smells Like A Dirty Nappy x
