The Year of Me

I’m declaring 2014 to be the year of me.

It started in January, when I chopped my hair off again because that’s how I like it.

It continued into February when I put my kids back into nursery every day and I took on a new role as senior developer (or old role, depending on how you look at it) because I needed the company of grown up people again.

In March I started running again and have made quick progression with a recent run of 4 miles which is twice what I was managing last year (and I attribute to running with company).

This month I have started seeing a counsellor in an attempt to finally bury the past.

I have no idea what May will bring, but I’m looking forward to it anyway.

nappies on washing line

I haven’t had the time (or money) to obsess about cloth nappies recently — they go on Oliver’s butt and then they go in the wash … nothing new or exciting there — and I’m hoping that Oliver will want to start using the potty/toilet full time come summer (we’ve had occasional potty use but […]

Live Dev: So far…

Despite the fact that you’re all sat watching — refreshing regularly — to monitor the progress of my blog’s live development (you are, right?) I thought I’d give a run down of what’s happened so far, and what’s yet to come… New search bar across the top so you can easily search from anywhere (and […]
