Dad was out the house, her little sisters were in bed, so I got her to kneel down next to the table and I ironed her hair. It worked a treat!! Obviously don't try this at home people!

I think my mother's strategy was just to turn a blind eye as we scoffed it all down in an hour on Easter Sunday, and then just smirked to herself as our sugar highs wore off and she knew it was going to be a good few months before we got our hands on any chocolate again.

]]> Comment on Men in Skirts. by Radiostar http://www.notjustaprettymum.com/2008/01/24/men-in-skirts/#comment-246 Radiostar Sun, 23 Mar 2008 00:13:53 +0000 http://www.notjustaprettymum.com/2008/01/24/men-in-skirts/#comment-246 I only wish I had the answer to your question.. I am a 62 year old Grandfather and would love society to accept me in a skirt. Not a "Grayston Perry", just a simple skirt. The fact of the matter is that given the male anatomy, skirts are far more comfortable for lounging and light work. . I have a website dedicated to promoting the idea and I get about 70,000 hits a month from all over the world, so someone is interested. Thanks for raising the idea, the more it is in the public eye, the more chance we have. If you see an wrinkly old bloke wandering around in a skirt, it is probably me.

In France, Good Friday isn't a day off, but Easter Monday is (thank goodness!). There are a couple of weeks of holidays at the end of April. I'm lucky in that I hand "my kids" back at the end of the day - I'm here in Paris as an au pair - and the family is going away for the weekend. So it's a well-earned rest for me! Happy Easter!!!
