Armed and dangerous #AtoZChallenge

~ Diary of a Dublin housewife

Day one at Chez Maisie. I’ve had to bring in the big guns… A supply of vodka, chocolate and earplugs. Wish me luck lads 😉

A 2017

  • Oh yes I’d love a cup of tea
  • I’ll put the kettle on

  7. April is going to be a riot. My mum isn’t deaf but she is getting forgetful so sometimes we have the same conversation several times in an hour… but other times she’s a bit too sharp and she catches me out

  10. You brought vodka, right? That’s an all-day beverage, right there. At breakfast? Just mix in some orange juice! Vodka with lunch: mix with diet cola, or toss it in a milkshake if you’re treating yourself. On particularly rough days, just keep it in a sports bottle with some lemon slices – nobody can tell it’s not water, right?
