…and I have 2 multipacks of Smirnoff Ice queued up to celebrate! :D

I am back from my grown-up glamping adventure. I did not get (too) lost, eaten by insects, die of food poisoning from eating undercooked BBQ food or indeed go stir crazy about being on my own like I thought I would. So here’s what happened, with some pictures: I left on Monday, already running late… read full entry »

I’ve been so preoccupied with introspection & navel-gazing recently that I’ve completely failed to update you all on various Real Life happenings that don’t directly relate to me. Isabel recently had her ‘induction’ day things at the school she starts in September, which consisted of a ‘stay and play’ type afternoon with the other parents… read full entry »

I had a great idea for a blog post today but got home and couldn’t remember what it was I have a new phone that I cannot work I have seen twittery acronyms three times today that I couldn’t figure out I’m taking the morning off tomorrow to have a haircut and I might also… read full entry »

The reason why — and the most popular result in el Goog — is a pisstake entry I posted in 2006 about someone defacing the… read full entry »

But I did write a bit of a ranty post over at WAHMweb (on “having it all”) if you’re bored… I would say beware of swear words but if you read this blog you’re probably used to it by now. P.s. I’d quite like a full night’s sleep for Christmas, if anyone wants to ply… read full entry »

So much for NaBloPoMo. Oliver’s poorly, and that threw me for six over the weekend (honest guv) because he was un-put-down-able. You know, as kids do when they’re full of snot and all gross and sticky. Normal service will resume tomorrow. Maybe.
