Something I quite often shout up the stairs to Neil in the morning as I fly out of the door to work, mostly when a decision needs to be made about when the electrician should come, whether we should have sausage and mash when Amanda comes round for dinner, or if I should buy some…

A Promised Post
If I achieve nothing else in this life, I shall at least try and keep my promises. On his wedding day, as I sat lounging on a chair – a free glass of his bubbly in one hand and the remains of a chocolate torte in the other – Chris Maguire mentioned to me that it had been quite a…
Halfway update and a new obsession with root vegetables
Well here I am, at the half way mark of when my dissertation needs to be written by, and needless to say half a dissertation has not yet been written. Still, this was to be expected as anything even remotely related to me always takes the most unlikely of courses, so I would be a…
404 Error: The person you requested was not found
There is nothing like having a busy head to make you feel completely useless. In the past week I have managed to fall on butt twice from not looking where I was going (one instance I was particularly grateful for being female as it involved a bollard), I have almost driven all the way home without remembering to turn my lights on,…
Merry Christmas
Even though I’m a ‘grown up’, Father Christmas doesn’t visit the way he used to, and my current school doesn’t do nativity plays, I still get childishly excited around this time of year, and now it is Christmas Eve the butterflies have already started! It is true what they say though – I’m starting to…
Totally beeping awesome!
Today is Friday, a joyous event that I would have been celebrating later with a generous gin-and-not-so-much-tonic if I hadn’t donated a pint of my blood today, but at least the nice tea lady was there this afternoon with an offering of chocolate orange ‘Club’ biscuits, that were so nice I would have given up…
Cut above the rest
Not wishing to be rude about the individuals to which I am referring, but isn’t it refreshing when you meet someone genuinely a lot thicker than you? For me this is a fairly rare event seeing that I am blonde and from Reading, but a trip to the hairdressers today left me feeling almost on…
Wedding of the Year
As mentioned in my last post, Neil and I were fortunate enough to attended ‘Wedding of the Year 2007′ at the weekend, as Gary and Marie-Claire became lawfully responsible for each other. Admittedly Marie-Claire did look the most nervous at this prospect, but having seen Gary’s outlandish antics (including diving on the lawn in front of the Greek…
Sunny Shiny Happy
‘It’s all happening’. It really is. 2007 seems to be another one of those years where everything appears to be moving and rearranging, a new door is teetering on its hinges waiting to be opened onto a new chapter, a new episode in this thing called life. What next is in store is anyones guess, but for…
Outside these four walls…
There are times, as the other half will confirm, when I need to escape being indoors and go out somewhere. Often it doesn’t matter where, but it would seem that I do not possess the ability to spend a whole day inside and not experience the world outside of our four walls. I feel trapped….
