Anyway, they interviewed someone from the eurosceptic thinktank Open Europe. Open Europe is an......Read More

Now, while my husband is ok at DIY he is a bit inclined to the Eeyore when he's caused the problem that needs fixing. And......Read More

Singing Ocado's praises
Again just a brilliant service from Ocado today. I put in an internet order yesterday evening, chose a delivery slot about an hour after my baby's bedtime which had a "green van" logo. That means a van's going to be in the area so it's better for the environment if you go......Read More

Why "Make me a Christian" wouldn't
Anyone watch Channel 4 on Sunday nights? Tucked in after the news (definitely the best TV news in the UK) and before "Wife Swap", "Big Brother" and "The Perfect V*gina" (yes really) was a show called "Make me a Christian". The show features a group......Read More

More teething troubles...
One for all the parents out there. Had to take my baby son to the doctor's again this morning after more screaming, vomiting etc. over three days. Turns out it's the second lot of tonsilitis in three weeks (first time we took him to A&E as he couldn't even keep down water. ......Read More
