Firstly, CSSbake was very recently featured in a Smashing Magazine post on 40+ Helpful Resources On User Interface Design Patterns, which is a huge boost to CSSbake as a website and growing resource for webmasters. Huge congratulations to Ben, obviously, and to Melissa, who’ve both been putting in all the work lately to keep it… read full entry »
Seem to have caught a sicky bug again, so not feeling up to much recently. Just posting so that if you’re waiting on an email from me or anything like that, you know why it’s delayed. Will get through everything as soon as possible. :)
One of the only downsides I’ve found so far about the new flat, is that the TV signal is total toss. We’ve spent evening after evening tweaking it, poking it, moving it, extending the pointy metal bits, turning it up and down (it’s got a booster thing) and it’s still buggered. We have a satellite… read full entry »
Melly was talking earlier this week about Toad in the Hole, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it all week. I love the stuff. Normally, I buy the ready-made zap in oven stuff by Aunt Bessie’s, but I’ve gone off it in recent years (I can only assume they tweaked the recipe or something.) So… read full entry »
Aisling pondered pizza in her latest entry, listing her favourite toppings, crust, etc. Not wanting to ruin the chance to advise you all on my favourite pizza — should we ever meet and you feel tempted to buy me something to eat — I have decided to blog on the subject too. Firstly, it has… read full entry »
After the last time Karl and I moved, I vowed not to leave the packing until the day before again. True to my word, I started packing things up at the weekend and did a little more today as I was off work with a funny tum. So far, I have packed about 4-5 boxes… read full entry »
I bought myself a new bag for my birthday earlier this month, but only realised this week that I was yet to blog about it (of course you all want to read every minute detail of my life). I’m not really a girly “bag” person and so the fact that I now have three(!) shames… read full entry »
I am, generally speaking, a non-drinker. I tend to go months and months without anything alcoholic in my system. This is partly because I don’t really have a social life, and partly because I am aware of the downsides to drinking (who wants a dodgy beer belly?) That said, I consumed my fair share of… read full entry »
As I’m sure many of you have already heard, the sexy Amanda of Jingwen flew over to the UK this week. After having trained it in to Telford with Rachael and Ben, she was met by Amelie, Sarah and myself for a day of jollies. Much conversation was had about penises (and whether or not… read full entry »
I just wanted to say a quick thank you for all of the birthday wishes yesterday. E-mails, facepoop messages, the thread at Snark, the thread at the q*bee bbs.. it was quite lovely. I had a nice day, got some great (geeky) books off Karl and a hot chocolate mug set and maltesers from the… read full entry »
