Squash was a bit of a disaster on Wednesday - I drew with Pete 1-1 (with yet another marathon game which finished 18-16 to me but left me pr...
Last night we were all handed a lesson in squash by Jimmy, who played with us for the first time. Despite his protestations that he 'was...
Noddy Holder has said so (heard him saying it yesterday) so it's now Christmas. The Christmas tree is up, most of the shopping is done, ...
For now, things seem to be going OK, apart from the usual lack of sleep caused by the young master. Last night I received an email from my m...
Last night we went out to the cinema for the first time in 20 months - the last film we saw in a cinema was Watchmen, just before Nicky was...
I meant to say yesterday that it would have been Dad's birthday. I did think a bit about him yesterday. I rarely get time to think these...
X Factor just becomes even more of a joke as the weeks go by. However the saddest thing is that I still watch it, although most of the time ...
If that's the case, why am I aching so much this morning after playing squash last night? I guess one explanation is that as we all impr...
Now, I've known for ages that the X Factor is quite unlikely to unearth some genuine music talent, but I still watch it for the entertai...
There's definitely something about being a parent that makes you annoyed at things you previously didn't mind too much. This weekend...
I played squash last night, and I'm really aching today - I thought as I played more I'd feel less achy but last night was the tough...
I don't know if it's the weather, my lingering illness or just generally now being old (30, I still can't believe it!) but I'...
Last night reminded me why I loved the Manics so much in the first place. I don't know if it's just because I'm getting old (t...
Last night we went to see the filming of Mark Watson's new ITV4 programme, Mark Watson Kicks Off. It's basically a TV version of Fig...
One thing I wanted to mention in my previous entry is that we went to see Rhod Gilbert at the Cliffs, doing his show 'Rhod Gilbert And T...
Yesterday we had the 20 week scan on the new bump (Fernan-dos? We can't think of a good name, and if we did it would probably confuse Ni...
Had a good time, but still quite tired! Will write more when I'm feeling a bit more awake... In the meantime, see some pictures at http...
Only two and a half more days of work before I can down tools and prepare for our holiday! I've never looked forward to a holiday so muc...
I've had a dodgy stomach for the past week and a half, which seems to come and go as it pleases. I don't think it was due to the bar...
Last week was a very long week. Nicky had his bottom two pre-molars coming through, which meant we had three sleepless nights. Thankfully he...
It seems that the solution to me feeling so tired is to go to sleep earlier - I went to sleep at about 9.30pm last night and didn't feel...
This week seems to have dragged on and on. The main reason for this has been Nicky deciding that 5am is a good time to wake up, and as Anna ...
As I mentioned last week, I went to see my Uncle David on Saturday to talk about my Dad. I was really nervous and anxious about it, but I th...
After how ever many weeks of sun we've had, I've never been so happy for it to rain. It's finally cooled down and the humidity h...
As it's been so hot recently, Nicky hasn't been sleeping well at night, meaning that neither of us get any sleep too. It's alm...
Whilst I've probably not fully recovered, it's better to get things written down whilst I can still remember them. For once, my memo...
Just back from Glastonbury. Very tired. Will write more here when I've recovered, might be some time!
As usual we sat down to watch the first show, which we've done for the past few years before realising we hate all the housemates and we...
Last night I went to Rage Against The Machine's free gig in Finsbury Park, which was set up as a celebration of the successful Christmas...
It's getting close to Glastonbury now, so starting to get slightly panicky about what we'll need to take, especially as we'll ha...
I've finally almost cleared my 'to-do' list - for now, all that remains is 'do online tax return'. It's taken about ...
I'm sure one of the definitions for 'middle-aged' must involve something about willingly going to Ikea on a bank holiday, yet th...
We've got most boxes in the correct rooms now, and have started unpacking, things are taking shape. I've spent the past two days try...
So, moving day is confirmed as Friday, and along with that comes all the additional stress of packing, redirecting post etc. More stress is ...
For now, my stress levels are slightly reduced, as I finally seem to have a working car again, although I have had to pay around £600 for th...
I'm still not really dealing with the news of my dad's death. I've cried occasionally but I feel that I really need to let go pr...
I normally wouldn't write something like this in something so public, but I feel like I need to write something down and this is the bes...
Fairly typically for me, I get a blog and don't bother writing anything for a month! At least with Twitter it's only 140 characters ...
