My friend was telling me the other day how she has a crush on a man at work. It has got so bad that when he speaks to her she turns the shade of a sunblushed tomato. This friend is a happily married woman and felt very nervous telling me about her crush. In fact, she finished the sentence with, 'is this normal?'
'Of course!' I reassured her, and then listed three men at work that I used to fancy. I suggested we should start a Married Ladies Secret Crush Club where we could talk openly about men we thought were worthy of a long slow swoonsome sigh. Anyway, my 'aren't they just devine' sighs are dedicated to McDreamy, Christian Slater, a carpenter we had round to do some work and Gary Lineker (sorry!!). We are safe in the knowlege that nothing is ever going to happen with our crushes. But isn't it nice to know we still have blood running through the veins and we are in fact alive and breathing? Because some days, when I have been climbed upon, pawed at (by every member of the family), wiped yet more poo off a toddlers bum and stacked the dishwasher for the billionth time, I seriously wonder...

Yay! my crush is on Peter Jones - Dragon's Den. This probably isn't an obvious choice, i do not know what it is about him. Perhaps because he has 10 million pounds in the bank? That, and he is always so kind and charming to the wannabe entrepreneurs. Swoooooon. oh and sooo tall.
Oh, my celebrity shag list needs doing again, do you think David Tennant is too young for me to be lusting after ?
Elsie B - Hmmm, yep, Peter Jones is a strange one, but hey, it's your crush! I can almost see you looking dreamily into the distance when you mentione his name...
Auntie - You are allowed to lust after whoever you like (within reason). So yes, David Tennant is quite acceptable.
Either we have the same friend, or this is an extremely common problem - one of my close friends recently confessed a similar tale!
David Tennant would certainly be on my celeb crush list, along with Louis Theroux, Jamie Theakston (yes I know - sad isn't it) and Ben Miller (of Armstrong and Miller)....
QUICK! Someone pass me the popcorn, this is going to be a good one!
HANDS OFF DAVID TENNANT. End of.
What about that lovely Mark Foster, the swimmer that carried the British flag at the Olympics? His body! His face!
Patrick Dempsey is mine. Alright! Back away...
There's a dad at Cheeky's swimming class who makes me go all wobbly-kneed. So much so, I find myself putting make-up on and actually doing my hair to go sit and watch class. Ridiculous because the humidity in the pool makes my split ends fuzz, mascara run and foundation leak onto my neck.
We've had a little chit-chat, but I find myself unable to hold a normal parent-to-parent conversation with him. Ridiculous. So I think he thinks I'm a little odd. Which is fine. I am! (But he did say he loved my accent, so am quite clearly, in there!)
Oh, yes. So many:
1. The headmaster. It's wrong, especially since he looks like a malevolent pixie, but I can't help it.
2. 2 guys at work, thankfully one left and one is in London.
3. Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Simply the loveliest looking man ever.
4. Back in pixie corner, Lieutenant Daniels in The Wire. Small, but oh so muscular when he takes his shirt off. Actually, pretty much everyone from The Wire. Omar. Mmmm.
5. Byron from the Storymakers.
6. Makka Pakka. He loves cleaning! He sleeps with a stone!
Need a lie down now.
I knew this would be good.
Makka Pakka has really got it going on. He’s hawt!
Hahahaha. Makka Pakka! That really killed me.
Sorry. I'm going away again now.
He so is. He really really is. One sexy sexy little pile of felt. Grr.
The constituent parts the Makka Pakka crush…..
Makka Pakka
Felt
In the Night Garden
It’s just too funny! Hahahaha
Jaywalker, that is sooo cool having a crush on Makka Pakka.
Sorry it's taken a while, but have finally answered your call to be tagged

I once had a friend whose celeb crush was Kevin Bacon. Clearly she's no longer a friend of mine . . .
Kevin Bacon looks like a gerbil on acid! Glad to see McDreamy is at top of list! Have you had your Foxy Five List laminated yet like Ross did?!
McDreamys on mine and talking of Friends...Chandler Bing! Could I BE anymore serious? Ooohh..lets not forget Joshua Jackson who was Pacey in Dawsons Crack...sorry... Creek! Sunday morning hangovers just aren't the same without him!
Errmm...McDreamy alert!! did you know that Greys is on Living TV tonight at 10.00...it's series 4 - first episode!!!
I remember Gary Lineker and his seven goals at the 84 World Cup.
I used to be a globetrotting sportswriter.
Gary Lineker? Geek!! Now, David Dickinson, he's worthy of that slow swoon...
Now look. I’ve been waiting patiently for ages. Would one of you PLEASE say Nigella Lawson!
That Girl - Thanks for McDreamy update. I only have a wind up tele. No sky TV for me...Have to wait until he comes back to channel five. Hmph.
Everyone else - Thanks for your varied crushes. I think I could be onto something here, especially if I start charging entry to this club and a pound per crush...
It's so funny I should find this post. I just did a post about this on our blog....mine is Pierce Brosnan...saw Mamma Mia twice and can hardly wait to go a third...I can count on one hand the number of movies I've seen twice. Feel an urgent need to listen to SOS...later ;D
I love Gary Lineker!! Wish we could get more of him over here, but alas! Anyway, can I join in? I have an excellent laminated list that could maybe do with updating!
If we don't let ourselves enjoy the views and flushes of our senses then we rob ourselves of the simple joys.
A crush, a fantasy, a chance to imagine ourselves as hot as the hotties that make us sigh.
What could be wrong with that??
