Hi folks, How’s tricks? It’s been a bit quiet on the blogging front this, my apologies for not replying to the comments some of you where kind enough to leave. 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 […]

Hey there, Coo, a midweek post. What could this be about? Luckily, nothing scary. Tomorrow is the Chameleons’s Christmas do. Yes, I *know* we’re not into December just yet, but beggars can’t be choosers can they. I have my outfit planned – I even managed a quick dry run – and with a smile from Lady Luck, yes Cinders, you shall go to the ball. Bring on the poptastic MP3s and heels you can just about dance in! 🙂 For those about to (f)rock, we salute you! Hope to see you there, Lynn x [ Lyric: Girls Aloud’s Long Hot Summer. I begin to wonder if in fact the Girls Aloud lyrics are in fact some type of belief system […]

Hiya, How you keeping? Good? Charity For those of you outside the UK, tonight is the annual BBC charity, Children in Need. There’s a lot of folk asking for money these days. For Africa, for the homeless, for the elderly. The list of people who need help seems to be endless. I don’t give to all causes but I do when I have an emotional attachment to (if that makes any sense). In my 20s I’d find the whole TV charity + entertainment thing a bit cheesy and I had little time for it. Fast forward a few years (Ed: you mean a decade and the rest) and life has given me a few curve balls. Life is precious and […]

Hi non-specific genderforms, 🙂 How’s you? All good I hope. Life seems to be picking up speed at the mo. Lots of things happening at home and at work at the moment. It’s making the days fly by. I’m sure Xmas will soon be upon us. I’m surprised that the year has gone so fast. Poor Mrs Jones wasn’t 100% yesterday, so loving husband that I am, I bailed on my trip out to Chams and stayed in to keep an eye on her. It’s funny how the ‘drive’ takes you really. Some weeks you really need to get dolled up and go out with the girls. Other times, like yesterday luckily, I could take it or leave it. I’m […]

Howdy y’all, Good week? I hope so. Customer Service Earlier the week I returned some shoes that I’d bought from a well known high street shop (they just didn’t fit right). I’d had them in the cupboard for over a month, so really they didn’t have to give me my pennies back – just a credit note. Anyhoo, the young lady behind the counter and I got talking – just about complete nonsense while the supervisor rang her back. A polite manner and a smile seemed to do the trick and she was kind enough to skip on the credit note and splash the cash. That was rather handy as it went towards some new foundation from Boots. BTW, no […]
