Methusula mum shares exactly how old she is on TV

I am really pleased to publicise the fact that older people can adopt but did Sky really have to zoom in on absolutely every single wrinkle and chin roll?

I also would have preferred them not to have shown so much of my parents house as it doesn't really represent my lifestyle as a busy mum in London. I hope it doesn't give the impression all adopters are affluent.

She has been elected to school council. I wonder if David Cameron's mum felt as proud when he was elected Prime Minister. 

She woke up this morning and said she had dreamt that she was elected with her best boy friend, James. Privately I thought James stood a chance but she was heading for disappointment and spent the walk to school giving her all the reasons why it was no failure to fail....

Exhausted on saturday night after a barn dance ( yes, strange thing for me to go to even if I was in the country and not in Hackney) my six year old daughter, in the middle of some conversation or other says: 'well, you are a bit mad mummy.' 

'No, I"m not! What on earth do you mean?' I expostulate. 

'She looks at me considering, 'Well, you are lying in bed watching television at night in sunglasses that are tied together with paperclips.' 

I try to explain that they are the only ones I can find that have prescription lenses in them and  I can't afford new ones. She looks at my sadly, 'yes, but you call them your google glasses....'

The mentoring that every methuselah mother requires......

It's easy to lose ones style way when middle-aged spread meets harassed mummyhood.  Here's some inspiration that the future is not all elasticated waistbands, though some of the brighter birds here have some quite frighteningly lurid plumage.
