Tash ‘The Duchess Of Croydon’

Hey!

It’s been a while since I last posted on here. We’ve all been ill with flu. It was dreadful - Jim got it first and was bed ridden for 3 days, then the boys and I got it too. Still feel shit this morning. My glands in my neck are like melons. I know a few of my friends have come down with it so its doing the rounds. It’s a snotfest in my house.

Meanwhile, the book is coming along nicely. Slowly. But nicely.

And I guess I should now wish you a very merry christmas - thank you for all your support over the last few months -it’s meant a lot to me. I may be a little quiet for the moment but you’ll be seeing a lot more of me in 2009.

Enjoy the festive fun and try not to get ill!

Ok so its official ‘The Parental Advisory Manual’ will be in the shops next year!! Yes, I have a book deal with a big publisher and now have to knuckle down and write the bloody thing.

I will hopefully make a return to radio next year as I am really missing my job so much but for now I really have to concentrate on the book. I have to write 50,000 words by March and although that seems like a long way off - its bloody difficult to do any writing when the boys are running riot in the house. I’m a full time mum so its gonna be tricky. As I write this blog now, Wilfie is standing on my lap pulling my hair and Oscar is dancing to some shite christmas album which he is playing at full volume. There are some ok xmas songs on the album like Kate Bush ‘December Will Be Magic Again’ and Diana Ross & The Supremes ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town’ but he keeps on playing fucking ‘Whigfield’ doing Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’. Its awful but I’ve heard it at least 8 times this morning. Why can’t he just play the original which is also on the album? I like Wham’s ‘Last Christmas’ as it reminds of my childhood love for Andrew Ridgeley. A love that is still burning strong. I wrote to Jim’ll Fix It once asking if he could arrange for me to marry Andrew Ridgeley on a rollercoaster. I’m still waiting. I also wrote asking if I could join Bananarama. I think they are down to just 2 band members now so there is room for me. I look pretty cool in dungerees. Also one of Bananarama is shacked up with Andrew Ridgeley. If I’m in the band, I could try to have it off with Andrew thus killing two birds with one stone. Sounds like a plan.

And now I must go and destroy Whigfield and her evil music.
