Center Parcs Rocks Part I

Tuesday, January 15, 2008

It rocks. It truly does. I have proof. We spent every evening at the kids disco. No, not all night, are you mad? Just till it finished at half eight. The kids danced, the adults drank, well, ok, we danced a bit too. And everyone was happy. Miss E was a funky monkey, and Miss M shook her thang [...]

I got tagged by the lovely, and very busy, Kitten, at Kitten’s homeschool to do this short and sweet ‘7 things about me meme.’ I did the seven random things, but this one is just seven things, so I figure I can do it again, right? That’s not to say the things won’t be random though… The “rules” [...]

Hooray, my PC is now much better after some TLC from Mr B, so I can at last bring you the competition winners… Six of you lovely people found the time in this mad month of novel writing, NanoBloMo, Thanks Giving, and Christmas shopping, to work out my semaphore message. The answer was, “Get your coat, you’ve [...]

Mr B came home last night laden with gifts. It wasn’t our anniversary. We hadn’t had an argument. He just saw something and thought of me. Isn’t he nice?? (Well, sometimes anyway.) You’re all excited now aren’t you? What is it? Wine? Jewellery? A holiday? A new car? (OK, you’re getting a bit too excited there if you think he’s just going to go out [...]

Mr B is in Notts rehearsing with his old band b-movie as they have a reunion gig in November. We’re eating lunch in the dining room. It’s nothing special, just sarnies, carrots, cucumber and grapes. Suddenly Miss M gives a squeal. Miss M: “Dare’s a fy, dare’s a fy.” I look up at the bay window and [...]

I love this. On Friday, BBC News 24 published a lit of ‘46 words women might say, men probably wouldn’t.’ They’ve taken this idea from some US research that has discovered, “female subjects get through an average of 16,215 words a day, compared with their male counterparts’ 15,669, a difference of 546. “. The US team then apparently quizzed [...]
