Year: 2009

Hey all, How’s it going? Well, it’s pretty much the Bank Holiday Weekend in the UK. Those extra few days off make all the difference. Talking of days off (Ed: seamless link, Lynn ) I had some time off this week to help look after the kids. The Ever Lovely Mrs Jones was away on business, so it was up to yours truly to play house-husband for a bit. To honest, I really enjoyed it. No computers, no mobile telephones; just me, Wee Man and Little Miss (when she wasn’t at nursery) having some quality time together. We had some good days out together, he got to play with his toys and we even managed a bit of tidying up. […]

Hi folks, Or should that be ‘hi friends?’ Crikey. What a week that was eh? Storm in a C cup 🙂 (Ed: Oo, a smiley, is she on the mend?) All flippancy aside: I’d like to thank you all for your kind messages and advice; those sent through the blog, via email or by PM. They really did mean a lot and helped move me from the dark cloud I’d been sat under. Sometimes I guess you gotta clear the air… no, not like that… and get it all off your chest. I had a good old ponder about what the underlying issue may be, but I still can’t put my finger on it. Still, I took your suggestions at […]

Hi, Those of you with a nervous disposition or who have no truck with…. personal sh**…. look away now. Still reading? Can’t say you weren’t warned. Last chance…. There’s a rush of thoughts pulsing in my head right now; a flock of black shadowy creatures that swirl around. Mad fluttering with yours truly, The Queen of Drama, at the epicentre. At the mo, I’m just not with it. As I type I am both simmering with anger and on the edge of tears. Trouble has been brewing for a few days; no, weeks if I’m honest, and each time I’ve pushed it aside hoping a good day at work, some family fun or even… ( Now my fingers hang over […]

Hey all, I hope things are going well your end. It’s been a right f***ing slog over here on Planet Jones: the start of the week was just a right mare (Ed: mare as in nightmare. Not it was a horse. :P). Although, looking on the bright side, the week’s jollymetre – the official UK device that measures happiness – plotted a graph like a wedge of cheese. Starting off thin and getting better each day… which was nice 🙂 Monday and Tuesday were complete non-starters: very much the thin end of the proverbial wedge. Do you have those days where you just don’t get anything done? That you get get stuck between tasks and you can’t start anything new […]

Hi, This week’s been a bit all over the shop. Parts of it have seemed to drag as if someone was holding back the second hand, while paradoxically, certain bits have zipped by in the blink of the proverbial. Blogging-wise I like to have something in mind by Thursday at the latest. I know that Friday’s are generally pretty busy and while some nights I can fly by the seat of my pants, I find with the passing entries, that I like to put a bit of thought into them. Anyone who says otherwise gets a Paddington Bear Hard Stare 🙂 Crikey, the nostalgia’s flying thick and fast this time around eh? A bit of Roland Rat and now Paddington […]

Hey folks, Is everything going well? I hope so… Right now the UK seems to be under a monsoon. Seems the jet stream’s got the hump (Ed: translation – in a bad mood) and it’s chucking it down. Put away those cute pumps and drag out the daisy print wellies. 🙂 Not that I have been, but heavy weather can be a part-time girl’s best friend. Wrap up warm and use that brolly to hide away from the negative elements! 🙂 Kerching! Anyhoo, I was lucky to get a spot of shopping in earlier in the week. I’d been building up a list of things to look into. I’d seem some fabby suede heels in New Look and I’ve been […]
