Getting an even tan
Q:
How do I get a nice even tan with out using fake tans?
A:
That's a tough one. You could try using a body bronzer. Obviously this is a very temporary tan but it's a great way to get colour and glow on any exposed skin – arms, legs, shoulders, decolletage etc.
Suzanne Paul has quite a clever product in her Natural Glow range. It's a Body Bronzing Shimmer Puff – literally a big blue puff filled with bronzing shimmer powder. So you just pat it on and the more you apply the darker your "tan" will look. Then you can shower it off at the end of the day.

Over the Teacups
My four-year-old grandson was at the supermarket with his mother when he exclaimed, “You’re buying something, Mummy, auntie is buying something – I want to buy something!” Mum replied, “You have to be big, have a wife, have a job, then you can buy things.” He replied, “I have a wife – Maia,” meaning his four-year-old friend. Mum said, “What about a job?” Master Four replied, “My job is having a wife!”

Water you want?
I was in the car and asking Master Three what he wanted for Christmas. He said he was going to ask Santa for a water pistol. “And Nanny,” he added, “I’m going to ask for some water for our paddling pool.” Now that could be interesting!

Bee gone
Master Three had his first bee sting recently. The incident broke his heart, but after many cuddles he came right. Later he said, “I never want to see another bee again. I don’t like bees any more, I only like flies.”

Fraud with worry
My daughter warned me that “old people are being taken for a ride,” and that I shouldn’t engage in conversation with phone sales people. To this, Master Five piped up, “Nana can’t go on that ride, she’s old.”
