If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I’ve been doing a bit of thinking lately. I’ve been really struggling to cope with Mr H’s job situation. But why is it affecting me so much? I was in tears this morning over it.

Is it that I’m such [...]

A house warming that is! Welcome to my new home online! Come and pour yourself a drink.
Huge thanks go to Suburban Mum for the fantastic template. She’s worked hard and I absolutely love it. She is a complete star.

I’m still trying to catch up with my Bloglines posts as well as try and sort out my new blog host. I’m working on moving over to a wordpress blog I host myself. It’s ok, I’m learning a lot but it’ll take more time and energy to get going.
I know I’ve been tagged by Vic [...]

I’ve returned to a rather cold Essex and I’m back to blog again…or not!
Posts for the next couple of weeks may be short and sweet. I’ve spent a lot of time reading blogs and writing here over the past couple of months and for the moment the house needs me more! I might manage a quick update [...]

For the first time (I think) I’ve been given a bloggy award!
 
Thank you Chris!
I’m going to pass it on to Suburban Mum for being my first bloggy friend and always making me smile either here, on her blog or on Facebook, and to MissBliss for letting me reminisce about Cambridge through her posts and giving me [...]

I found this on Roz’s blog while I was browsing the other ornament exchange participant’s blogs (it’s 4:30pm here and I only got the munchkin to sleep an hour ago, she’s teething - again! - and was so tired but fighting it like anything).

Not quite sure what it means by purist though…

Earlier in the month Julie started organising a Christmas ornament exchange. I was very slow about doing it, but I signed up on Wednesday (the deadline day!) and this morning I picked up an email from her telling me who to send my ornament to.
