I had to give way to a sofa today.

So, if you’d not noticed already, I converted my blog to WordPress yesterday. I know, I know, I told WordPress to suck my balls. Apparently things change, not least because of a half-dead install of Habari thanks to me installing an unstable night-release (don’t ask why, I don’t know). It was actually quicker to migrate… read full entry »

This is Kim Kardashian: She thinks breastfeeding in public is only OK if you use a cover1 2 Riiiiight. Let’s just say I won’t be taking tips on modesty from her.

Yes, you. Firstly, for this: …and then for the “I Don’t Support Breast Feeding in Public” Facebook group. But, let’s assume for one second that you’re simply an ill-educated fool who doesn’t have a clue about babies feeding, and break down every single word of your stupid Facebook group to give you a little education:… read full entry »

In 2008 I blogged about a site displaying adverts disguised as browser-style yellow bars and the risks associated with this shady tactic (especially if something a little more sinister than an advert were linked!) Clearly nothing has changed in the past 2 years, because it’s still happening. I clicked through to an article in The… read full entry »

What the hell is it with software companies thinking it’s OK to bombard you with additional junk packaged up with their programs already?

I am seriously without words at the moment at the way some people choose to parent. I thought forcing early weaning was bad enough, but then I found this thread… I wont let her grnadparent put pillows behind her when she is sat on the floor saying “the more she falls the sooner she’ll learn”… read full entry »

So, clearly being one of these crazy rambling mummy types now it’s only logical that I browse a few of those crazy rambling mummy type forums. The first baby-oriented site I joined was babycentre. It’s shite; loaded down with adverts and full of total muppets who shouldn’t be allowed to breed. However, that aside, there… read full entry »

AKA what a bloody ridiculous week and a half. First off, my Internet dies and nobody seems to know who’s at fault. BT says it’s not them (phone line/exchange) and Plus.Net say it’s not them and everything is fine at their end. We change cables, test alternate router, etc. End up having to make several… read full entry »
