And there we have it. Back to work and already knee deep in University assignments. It is here I turn to you dear reader, for your help in my quest to make it through to August without spending time on a ward wearing a long sleeved overcoat that fastens at the back… My latest task…
The Tipping Point
Game of Festive Twister Happy New Year and I hope you had a very nice festive break!Despite the week rushing by far too quickly, Christmas at our house was a jolly affair with lots of friends, chips, dips, games of twister, silly films, paper crowns, walks, evenings out and even an extended visit from the Plumber after our hot…
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…
Christmas Silliness
Well – it didn’t take long! Litres of neon yellow paracetemol laced lemony liquid, a dozen naps on the sofa interjected with the American Pie trilogy, a comforting dinner of pasta and sausages – and I’m feeling fit as a fiddle! Just as well seeing as it was our Christmas Lunch in the Development Plans Team…
Cold Christmas
This week I got a cold. Quite disappointing seeing that I had been doing so well up until now, avoiding anyone with a sniffle or a sneeze, taking my pre/probiotic omega 3 packed multi vitamin ultra sonic make-you-go-faster-or-your-money-back drink religiously every morning, I have been eating all of the vegetables that have been put on…

It had started with the flower arranging evenings, then planning my Christmas shopping well in advance, then checking my car’s levels of screenwash at regular intervals, and I had…
A random jumble of things
It has been so busy lately that this afternoon has arrived and I have found myself quite lacking in steam! In an attempt to recover the situation therefore I have decided to take respite in ALBD, hoping that punching out a few words here may help restore some sort of productive momentum (although it is likely I will finish writing this and just…
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…
Outside these four walls
Well, its been an eventful time of late as my ‘not so busy’ job has turned into a ‘not enough time in the day’ state of madness, university deadlines seem to forever loom, the washing/ironing/tidying/cleaning point blank refuses to do itself, and with only one member of household staff to help carry the load, it…
