Broady, apologies, - I haven't done yours - will do, will do! I'm tagging (as their real selves, of course!) Libby at 'A Study of Schoolbooks and Shoes', Rivergirlie at 'Down By the River' and lovely Mel C. Morris.
Here we go:-
Three Things That Scare PoshMum
1) A meteor landing on Montreux
2) Developing an incurable allergy to hair dye, (she’d sooner shave her head bald like Britney than reveal the grey).
3) PoshHusband mingling client and firm funds by mistake (and being struck off the Roll by the Law Society).
Three People Who Make PoshMum laugh
1) PoshHusband.
2) PoshHusband’s mother.

Three Things On PoshMum’s Desk:
1) A pile of engraved invitations from PoshHusband’s public school pals

3) Silver framed black and white photograph PoshMum and Hubby on their wedding day.
Three Things PoshMum is Doing Right Now:
1) The Beyonce maple syrup, lemon and pepper diet (only five more pounds to lose and she’ll be a size two!)

3) Watching
Three Things PoshMum Wants To Do Before she Dies:
1) Gate crash Puff Daddy’s summer party in the

3) Wear smaller jeans than Posh Spice and Nicole Ritchie.
Three Things PoshMum Can Do:
1) The splits, both side and Japanese (she was very popular in college!).
2) Nought to ninety in five seconds – even in her massively heavy Volvo X90
3) Flatter and beguile boring older men – handy at tedious office parties.
Three Things PoshMum Thinks You Should Listen To:

Three Shows PoshMum Watched As A Kid:

3) Charlie’s Angels – Farrah was her idol (that hair! Those flicks!). Farrah! What happened?!
Three Things PoshMum Regrets:
1) Slathering herself with coconut suntan oil and sitting in the sun for eight hours a day on holiday.
2) Coming to Botox late in life (prevention is better than cure!).
3) Her carefully concealed non-public school, working class origins.

I love that you know PoshMum so well that you can answer these so effortlessly. And I can seriously envision just what her desk must look like. Now, tell me, was Nelly Olson that horrid little blond girl?
Yup, that's right - you youngster you! Nelly was the horribly spoiled brat with the ringlets. (I'm showing my age now!)
"1) Little House on the Prairie – she totally identified with Nelly Olson
2) Dallas – Everyone at school liked Bobby, but she preferred JR."
Ha ha ha! Oh, dear, *are* we showing our age? Nellie Olsen was the terror of my fourth-grade (age 9) nightmares! Anyway, I grew up outside Dallas, and a lot of us thought Bobby was a little too goody-goody, you know (personally, I loved Ray and, I must admit, that naughty Cliff Barnes!).
And I have to admit, from across the pond, a bit of a crush on floppy-haired bomb-thrower Boris Johnson (though I think he treated his old boss Lord Black shabbily) - PM can have Rod!
oh gawd, just when you think you're growing to like someone you find out they're working class, sigh
If you think you are showing your age by remembering Nelly Olsen how about the following conversation I had recently with a Bright Young Thing:
BYT - "What's her name - the blonde one from Charlie's Angels?"
DM - "Farrah Fawcett"
BYT - "No,no, more recent than that..."
DM - "Cheryl Ladd"
BYT - "Good grief no - Cameron Diaz!"
I hobbled back to my rocking chair and slippers in embarrassment.
Now, now, Rilly Super, that's naughty! Ooh behave! (wags finger).
DMummy - I am honestly flabbergasted.
Cameron flippin' Diaz!? Words fail me. Actually, they don't. Just beware brightYoungThing, your time will come! (lightning, thunder, evil laughter!).
I've taken care of children who don't know who the Backstreet boys are...so of course when I was playing Styx while cleaning they asked me who was singing the funny sounding music.
"Instigate a discreet affair with either Prince Charles or Rod Liddle." I didnt know PM was on the market!! Good to know.
By the way I very much doubt PM gets 0-60 in 5 seconds from her Volvo 4X4. According to the manufacturer, even the V8 AWD Geartronic 8 cylinder petrol version with its 4.4 Litre engine and 5850 rpm max output ECE, packing 3900 rpm of torque only delivers 0 to 62 in 7.3 seconds so unless those last two mph were tested through some sort of syrup wall, I think PM is over-compensating for something!!
Achh!! To misquote Thomas Dolby 'He blinded me with science!'
Aren't you chaps supposed to laugh a girl into bed?! ;-)
Vanish powder and elbow grease for the stains, PoshMum. Honestly. What did they teach you in school a million years ago? :P
Thomas Dolby! Whatever happened to him?
I feel I know PoshMum a whole lot better now although am intrigued about the Rod Liddle thing...why, PoshMum, WHY?
Did you know that the gal who played Nellie had a favourite practical joke? She loved to cover the toilet with Saran Wrap, put the seat and lid down, then listen for the screams!
And btw, it was such an honour to have a mere suggestion from Annacond responded to by PoshMum herself! Thanks! :)
oooh you little scamp! ok - will play - and am honoured to do so! actually i've built up a head of meme - i've got three others to do, so will do a mega meme all in one go. x
LOL! You are much too clever!
LucyD - I cannot explain my fatal attraction to The Liddle...but he clearly has a way with women!
AnnaCond, I am very tempted to try this trick on my husband - except that I know who will end up having to clear up the mess!
Rivergirlie and MM - I am a scamp (and i really wish I was clever!)
Please, I beg of you... Never wear a size smaller than Nicole Richie
Do you regret your 'working class origins' or do you regret concealing them?
Lovely Duane - this would be an impossibility for me - I live to eat, not eat to live!
Anonymous; interesting question! Just a quick clarification (again). I am NOT PoshMum - I watch them at the school gate and they amuse me immensely. So I write what I see.
I am however extremely posh. . . or am I?
