I became a parent in November 2009 and, as the cliché goes, my world turned upside down. PHP posts turned to pregnancy, midnight gaming turned to midnight (and 1am, and 2am, and ...) feeds. Here lies documented tales of poop, boobs, toddler tantrums and the nitty gritty that goes with being Mum.
Remember how back in May last year I told you all that I thought that the Madeleine McCann kidnapping was neglect? Apparently the majority of you agreed with me. I’m sure there were others around the country who felt the same; others in positions of power who could do something about it. Yet, no, the… read full entry »
Some of you will probably remember that last month, I posted about the upcoming property searching that Karl and I would have to do. Well, shortly afterwards we went to see a small cottage about a mile and a half up the road. It was pretty, had a lovely garden and a shed. However, it… read full entry »
The contract on the flat (apartment) that Karl and I have been renting since October 14th 06 ends in April. I can’t believe it’s been nearly 18 months since we moved in, but more importantly, I can’t believe we’re deciding to look for somewhere new. The ‘problem’ as it stands is that our current area… read full entry »
I decided to put the Christmas tree up last night. I’m not sure why; I usually wait until at least the 12th to even consider it despite my love of all things festive. To be honest, I wish I had waited now… cats and Christmas trees, even fake ones, do not mix. First, Hex insisted… read full entry »
I had no idea what to blog about but — not wanting to break my record and the run I’ve been having because of NaBloPoMoLoDoFo (or you know, whatever) — the girls at Snark (i.e. Rachael and Aisling) suggested I post about Karl. So, here are 5 things you may not have known about Karl… read full entry »
After the hours Karl and I spent cracking our ribs laughing at the various hilarious scenes in Raving Rabbids for the Wii — the game that got Karl playing with a console for the first time in years — I decided to invest in Raving Rabbids 2. I have to say that it was a… read full entry »
Sorry, I know some of you avoid Christmas like the plague, but I have to mention it at least once before December otherwise I’ll positively burst! Christmas, it’s my favourite time of year (and if you didn’t know before, you do now). I love the conversations, the food (oh! especially the food) and seeing peoples… read full entry »
My Dad has been over since Saturday so I’ve been spending time with him. Not enough time/energy to blog, but will update ‘properly’ or at least with something interesting later on this week. Probably Thursday, after I’ve got back from work and the piles of client correspondence and e-mail that has been collecting in my… read full entry »
One of the questions I get asked most in life — aside from “why are you so brilliant Jem?” — is why don’t I drive? Apart from the obvious, in that I can see my work front door from my front door, I really don’t think the world needs another maniac on the road. On… read full entry »
You can see me elsewhere this evening, hehe :)
