Today Madame Munki is one year old! Her first birthday in her final metamorphosis into a fully fledged blog and website. Although I started my blog probably a little over 18 months ago, a year ago saw my final transformation into the BoPo butterfly we see today. I was so nervous when I tentatively, pressed […]
Shame on you, Avon, for Body Shaming!
Slow Clap For Avon… This week I was saddened and extremely disappointed by Avon Canada’s decision to advertise an anti-cellulite product in a such an insensitive and, quite frankly, ghastly way. My attention was drawn to the Avon issue, by women on social media who, like me, were quite frankly shocked and disgusted. The advert […]
Fancy Furniture is not for Fat Bums
On holiday in Majorca recently, I had the pleasure of staying at a very nice resort. However, HOWEVER, the lovely resort, did not think through their rather fancy and expensive terrace furniture (we couldn’t help but Google them!). There were these really weird sofas and chairs, that looked like stones. Could I get my fat […]
Best Laid Plans
As I came away for my lovely holiday to Majorca, to get away from a house in disarray and the last lingering memories of being at school, before I start my new job, I packed several activities. A few books, that I’d been saving (“The Power” … Highly recommended, a thriller and a couple of […]

My Uncle Colin
My Uncle Colin wasn’t my actual Uncle Colin, he was not blood, or my uncle by marriage. In fact he was my Step Great Uncle But I always considered him my uncle, he never made me feel that genetics were an issue. My uncle Colin was there for a lot of Christmases. He didn’t mind, […]
Life Laundry
Hoardy McHoarderson I am a hoarder, like a proper Hoardy McHoarderson. I keep letters, toys, photos, make up, clothes, books, newspaper clippings… The lot! And not always the most pleasant of reading material, not only did I find a rather unpleasant recounting of Kurt Cobain’s suicide courtesy of The Sun, but an article about […]
I said I was going to eat an Easter Egg this year…
Well I get to eat FOUR of them!!! Hurrah! Husbandface did well. DRAGON EGG!!!
Hence the expression as greedy as a pig…
One Orrible old C Word Brick Top, one ‘orrible old “c-word”, kindly explains to Turkish (and us as the audience) how he brutally murders and then feeds his enemies to pigs. Painting a gloriously grim image of ravenous pigs going “through bone like butter”. Perpetuating the age old adage that pigs are fat and greedy, […]
