I mentioned on twitter the other day that having to sit down and write a meal plan once a week was getting to be a bit of a pain the arse, and that I was considering making it monthly. Presented with no overriding cons, that is what I’ve done. Below is my meal plan for… read full entry »
This was my front room this morning (complete with half naked baby):
In July 2007 I outed Jamie Timbre for conning hosting customers out of hundreds of dollars by claiming they owed charges on DDOS attempts that had never happened, e-mail spam that was not the customer’s problem, etc. Shortly after, Timbre shut down his hosting ‘business’. Fast forward to 2012 and I receive an e-mail from… read full entry »
Remember my post on the Breastfeeding: Stories to Inspire and Inform book? Of course you do, you all read every single word of every post here! :D Well, the lady who put the book together is very kindly letting me give away a copy of her book. Entering is simple… comment on this blog post… read full entry »
In 2010 I blogged about buying our Britax Multitech from Volvo. Lots of people find my post daily looking for “volvo car seats”, “volvo rear facing” etc. Finding extended rear facing car seats in the UK can be difficult enough as it is, finding them for a good (read: cheap) price is next to impossible…. read full entry »
I found myself on a blog entry today that sent my blood pressure sky high (I’m getting old, I can’t help it). It’s @MumsnetBloggers fault.

I imagine the cow it came from was probably reared in… read full entry »
Isabel has officially turned into a threenager. A little premature, given that she’s not 3 ’til November, but I can think of no other explanation for the epic strops we’ve had over the past fortnight. Last week we had the Worst Day Ever (oh so worthy of capitals) in which every SINGLE thing was a… read full entry »
I recently made a decision which will almost certainly change the course of my life forever. I quit my job. It wasn’t in my long term plan — with 2 kids I’d previously dismissed working for myself as impractical and risky — but thanks to the government arsing about with tax credits I realised that… read full entry »
I went against last week’s meal plan and bought a chicken for yesterday so that I could incorporate chicken into several meals this week (penance for splurging on Domino’s). In case you missed the last entry, the chicken turned out to be a weird, mutant bird with dangly neck bits, but was fairly yummy all… read full entry »
