The removal men are in the process of packing us up, and my house is slowly disappearing into a lorry!!
Of course, I’m not letting them get their hands on my router and laptop! LOL

Preparing For Moving Day
Posted in General, tagged Moving on September 20, 2007 | 2 Comments »
When we moved down from London, we paid extra for the full packing service, and it was fantastic! We hardly did anything.. we’d already had a bit of a clear out, so we sat back whilst they came in, packed us up, then moved us.
This time, we’ve gone for the same service, but it hasn’t [...]
The trouble with bunkbeds…

..is changing the bedding!
To do the top one, I have to climb up there, then try to come down the ladder without losing my footing. To do the bottom one, I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve hit my head or back!
The things we do for our kids! LOL
Change Of Address – Who To Inform?
Posted in General, tagged Moving on September 14, 2007 | 4 Comments »
Ok, so finally, we’re moving..and I’ve started thinking of all the people and places that need to be informed of our new address; and I’m sure I’mgoing to miss some.
So, aside from the obvious ones, such as banks, gas, sky, broadband etc.. who else can you think of. I thought if I grabbed the ideas [...]

We’ve just exchanged, and we move house on the 27th! I now have LOTS to sort out!
Kids and Reading
Posted in General, tagged Books, reading on September 12, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I love to read, and always have done. I am really hoping that my girls will be the same. At 3, Amy is very keen on books.. she loves going to the library, and will happily sit with someone whilst they read to her. I hope it lasts.
Bethany certainly has no problem with the ‘mechanics’ [...]
Still Nearly…

The confirmation never came.. the people above us in the chain are NOT happy with next week, and want the one after.
In a way, I’m happier, because it gives me more time to organise everything. However, as I type, a day is still not agreed on, and until we have one, my stress levels feel [...]
Nearly…

It would appear we’re nearly there.. we should be able to exchange contracts very soon, and move towards the end of the month.
Everyone cross everything please.. fingers, toes, etc!!
Added: We’re waiting for confirmation in the morning, but it looks like we may be moving NEXT WED! (I’m going to spend the next few weeks having [...]
A little note about my forum..
Posted in General, tagged Books, forum, reading on September 9, 2007 | 7 Comments »
A couple of years ago, on a health forum I ran, we started chatting about books, and someone mentioned we needed a book club. I promptly started a yahoo group, moved it to a hosted forum, then quickly moved it again, this time to a phpBB forum.
I’ve always liked reading, but my tastes are pretty [...]
A Lament..
Posted in General, tagged myspace, web design on September 8, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Some years ago, when I first got involved with web design, many pages on the web (especially personal sites) were poorly designed.. they had garish, clashing colours, text that was hard to read, and a gazillion flashing, jumping graphics.
Thankfully, things have settled down, as many people are becoming more skilled, and services such as blogs [...]
