I must not whinge. I must not whinge. I must not whinge. Oh, and the raised beds are in – now just need a bit more compost/soil.

One of the hardest parts of reading ‘mommy blogs’ is resisting the urge to leave comments about how ugly other people’s babies are.
The Great Car Hunt
If you’ve got me on Facepoop or twitter, you’ll have seen my recent car-hunt adventures. It’s surprisingly hard to find a car that is both small (physical size and engine) but also big enough enough to hold a rear-facing car seat. In 2010, we made the decision to keep Isabel rear-facing for as long as […]
What do you want to do?
Just saw an interesting thread on one of the forums I visit, “what do you want to do?” So I had a think about it, and here’s my list (in no particular order): Have more children (at least one), keep chickens, become more self-sufficient, work for myself, ride the world’s biggest rollercoasters, visit Egypt, finish […]
Weird Dream of School ‘Chums’
And by chums I totally mean the assholes that tormented me for 5 years. I wasn’t a “popular kid” at school (I know you’re not surprised by this). I was different before it was cool to be different. Short boyish haircut, knackered old Doc Martins, purple tights and mismatched socks. I didn’t listen to the […]

This means that my dear readers could be sat there in mental turmoil about what the hell is going […]
Weird Food Aversions
I guess it’s hard to sum up my food aversions with Isabel, as I had problems with all food. This time it’s different though… I’m having some particularly odd cravings and, at the opposite end of the scale, food that turns my stomach just thinking about it. I’ve already mentioned that I’m eating a lot […]
Ultimately failier than you
So, I had my second driving test yesterday. Perfect drive – probably one of my best. Remembered all the mirror signal manoeuvre crap, pulled off a perfect parallel park, avoided several knobbers driving over my side of the bloody road, wasn’t affected by the rain. All going GREAT. And then it’s the independent driving part, […]
Dear Skechers
Hello there, my name is Jem. About 6 years ago I bought my first pair of Skechers. They were amazingly comfortable. I’d never before had a shoe (trainer/sneaker/whatever) which had been such a great fit straight from the box. This was the beginning of what I hoped to be a lasting, fulfilling relationship with your […]
