Year: 2007

A big festive hi! I hope you’re enjoying the holiday season. The last few days have gone by in a blur of visits to friends and family punctuated by too much yummy food and the obligatory gift exchange. Xmas I’m not one for New Year’s Resolutions; really, if it’s that important, just do it (Ed: today’s sage advice is sponsored by Nike). That said, I think I need to start back on doing a bit more exercise and (maybe) cut down on the mountain of chocolate we got for Xmas. Talking of getting things for Xmas – wow, was that seamless or what? – what did you get? I got some cool things. A couple of nice ties (clearly a Dad […]

Hiya, All sorted for the big event then? Here at Jones Towers we’re pretty much done – except the fun that is the wrapping up.  🙂 However I have booked off pretty much all of the festive period on leave (Ed: “which was nice”), so this year it hasn’t been much of a chore. Actually I better remind myself of that when I’ve got sellotape stuck to my fingers and I’ve just snagged the last bit of paper. Honestly, how many trees – ney, forests – must we got through as a nation? Good job we have a recycling bin for all the bits and bobs. We’ve put a limit on the family stuff this year. Mainly because there’s so […]

I’ve got a good excuse tho – even better than “my dog ate my router” 🙂 Earlier in the week we (the Jones crew) had a new arrival. Little Miss (no real names, it’s faker than stick on nails in here) joined the world. Mum and little one are all well. Wee Man seems to be coping with the change in household activities – bless him. Little Miss is very cute (but then I would say that) and is currently asleep on my knee. It’s funny but when I look […]

Hey y’all, Short Version Xmas party. Good company. Good food. A bit of dancing. Obligatory photo shoot. My feet hurt. 🙂 Long Version What an excellent night last night was! I arrived a bit late, but not before the do was in full swing. Handing over the party music CD, I also got to hand over a few Xmas cards. After that it was upstairs to get gorgeous (personally, I blame Boots 🙂 ). Unusually for me I’ve actually got some photos of the night and thanks to Sandi for being ‘Davina Bailey’. Accordingly to Val, I was doing a very good impression of a goth in a bin liner…. which made me laugh. It was a toss up between […]
