Summer... Oh, I do like summer. I tolerate the heat much better than the cold. In fact I find it hard to believe I grew up in England and survived.... I was constantly being told off for sneaking the thermostat up on the central heating. I just couldn't help myself, if I'm cold I'm miserable (who ... [ Read More ]
Blog Hops I Like To Participate In...
Blog hops are a great way of exploring other blogs and of getting your blog out there and recognised.
Scrubbed…
Scrubbed... Just had to be my Word of the Week (although hurting came a close second!). This week I started my job managing a holiday villa for the summer. The word 'managing' is just a posh word for looking after the villa and guests who will be staying there. After the villa owner left, it ... [ Read More ]
Soft Toys And Teds Everywhere…
And Barely A Place To Sleep... Children love soft toys. I myself still remember having stacks of soft toys on my bed (yes, Catherine I can still remember back that far!), and my two were no different. They grew up with a room full of soft toys, which seemed to spend more time on the floor than ... [ Read More ]

My Recent Upgrade... For the past six years I my mobile phone has been a ... [ Read More ]

ARGH!
ARGH!... I know, it's probably not a real word, but it's my Word Of The Week! It's been one of those head shaking weeks. If it's not been one thing, it's been another and it's left me feeling ARGH! Why?... It all started on Monday when after sorting Greg's medical books out (he's recently ... [ Read More ]

My Favourite Blog Hops…
What Are Blog Hops? When I first started blogging I had no idea what Blog Hops or Linky Parties were. I know that just the words Blog Hop and Linky party sound pretty self explanatory, but they still left me feeling more than a little confused. I suppose that when a person is new to something even ... [ Read More ]
