Oh dear....


Anyone who knows me will appreciate that I’m sooo beyond being a ‘yummy mummy’. 
I'm neither young enough, slim enough or attractive enough. However, I've just found myself overwhelmed with a feeling of yuppy, yummy mummy-ness that a trip to Waitrose was only just narrowly avoided.
I have a new (to me) car. I had, previously, a black & pink striped Suzuki Swift. It was me! Modest enough yet cheeky enough to shout (quietly) ‘look at me, look at me’. 
Totally useless for transporting a 6’ table, 3 meter gazebo & 20 crates of jam and their associated display hardware.
The new one is perfect – it has no personality – but its perfect. And, my goodness, it’s got a magnificent boot space!
But...as I drove to work , past my neighbour walking his dog, he failed to recognise me and, at that point, I realised that I had become a ‘grown-up’.  Not only a grown-up but a Volvo driver too.
Now...where are my wellies?

  1. Ah I never liked the term 'yummy mummy' anyway, prefer grown up any-day.
