Month: January 2010

Hiya, How’s things with you? All good I hope. Dirty stop out that I am, I was out once again! That’s once a week for the last 3 weeks: I’m feeling rather spoilt. With all the fun and games of late, and to be honest, I was in two minds about going through the whole rigmarole of getting changed. With Little Miss dropped off at Granny’s house, I wasn’t far away from Chameleons, so off I went and got dressed up. The evening outfit was boots, sparkly cardy and the mini-skirt I got last month. Not my usual length, but I thought I’d give it a spin. 🙂 I’m glad I made the effort as the evening was one of […]

Hi folks! Two posts in a week? Gadzooks! 🙂 I nearly said ‘a double entry’, but that would just be wrong wouldn’t it. 😀 Tonight was very much a contrast to the previous evening. Both nippers are bathed and the bedtime routine is almost done. Wee Man is curled up with the Ever Lovely Mrs Jones watching some Saturday night TV. Little Miss has had her bottle, a bedtime story and, of course, a cuddle before being tucked into bed. Those of you with a strong aversion to kids may throw up now 🙂 All done? Let’s move on… 😀 Skip back 24 hours – or as they say on TV: previously on YATGB… 🙂 – it was a very […]

Hi folks, With apologies to the Blues Brothers: It’s 85 miles to Milton Keynes, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of mints, it’s dark and we’re wearing dresses. Hit it. 😀 Film quote damage aside – and what a film that is… Hell, I’m thinking about putting the packing to one side and starting up the DVD. Oh the dilemma! 🙂 *ahem* Where was I? Oh yes. It’ll be a scheduled post tonight as – with a little luck – I shall be winging my way along the M1 towards the Angel’s 10th Anniversary Bash. I sort of know where I’m going, although my map reading skills are not the best in the world. I think […]

Hello gentle reader, Do you get that feeling where you want to make time for something – like writing a blog entry or email to a friend – and when you finally do, your brain just goes ‘meh’? Because I’m getting that right now. Maybe if I keep bashing away at the keys it’ll slowly rev back into life. 🙂 Thursday night has (obviously) been and gone (Ed: like, duh!) and the slight worry over the snow putting an end to an evening was unfounded. Yay! So, thanks to the hard work of the Centre managers and some winter sun, we were on for an evening of conversation, witty banter and beverages. Sandi mentioned that the Centre may be putting […]

Hi there, In true Brit fashion, I can’t stop myself from mentioning the weather. We’ve had a lot of snow… for Britain, I should add. Those of you from more Northerly climes will no doubt be muttering lightweight and chuckling. 🙂 To be accurate, *some* parts of the UK have had a lot, but by some small stroke of meteorological luck, our neck of the woods got off lightly. (Ed: don’t speak too soon!). Sure, the roads have been a bit scary in places, but in the main, it’s not been so bad. Ummm… Not too much to report this time around… heh: now I’ve said that, maybe the Muse will strike and I’ll be off on some lengthy post […]
