If you’d have asked me lately what browser I’m using, the answer would have varied on an almost daily basis. I’ve been trying to find THE perfect browser for me but each one has pissed me off in varying degrees of time… Firefox – my browser of choice since about 2005ish (possibly longer? it was… read full entry »
Last week I decided that I would finally learn to drive. It’s something I’ve avoided for years because I haven’t been desperately in need of a car of my own. I catch buses, walk places, and if desperate my mum gives me lifts. Still, with Isabel now getting older and starting nursery in January (which… read full entry »
Yes indeedy, I need guest posters. I have a multitude of projects which I’m desperately trying to get off the ground but don’t want to launch as empty websites; I also have a couple I want to boost with traffic before I go back to work (as I’m expecting Nov-Dec to be bloody busy).

The… read full entry »
It was decided at about 9pm last Thursday that a short holiday was in order, last minute booking of a family style resort in Wales ensued. Date to leave? The morning after! Nothing like forward planning… ;) Isabel seemed to enjoy herself, and got to experience lots of firsts. First holiday, first swim, first beach… read full entry »
I know, you may find the title of this entry a tad obvious given that Isabel is 8 months old now (holy shit…) but I am just sat here evaluating my day and it occurred to me that I am a mum. I do mummy things. Today I went shopping for ‘responsible’ things and didn’t… read full entry »
After posting about my favourite layouts in June I figured this is something I could keep doing! And so here we are, my favourite layouts this month… Rainbow Stuff Ashley has added a personal touch with her cartoon representations of herself, husband (I think!), and cats. Skylish I love the splash navigation detail in this… read full entry »
Juggling so much at the minute. Constantly teething baby (she’s currently on her 4th tooth) coupled with crawling, dropping feeds and reverse cycling, plus she bit me for the first time last night :( / surprise visit from my Dad / work pressure (do I return or not? I have no choice, I can’t afford… read full entry »
