If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!A very strange morning. I had a press meet at half nine. Inevitably it didn’t start until 10.20 to allow for latecomers. That wouldn’t have been a problem if they’d laid on a nibbly breakfast, and had I not […]

Dinner in Galleywood tonight so I could meet a financial advisor. As was pointed out at work, that’s a very ‘grown up’ thing to do (or, as it was actually put, ‘oh, very 31-year-old’).
Turns out, apart from moving my mortgage, I’m pretty much doing it all right at the moment, which was a relief (and […]

My arms ache. My legs ache. Two days spent walking up and down stairs with heavy boxes full of stuff. I have thrown so much away. I wish I’d done it years ago (not move - clear out). Apart from the fact it has made me very unpopular with my ex-neighbours because I have filled […]

So, skipping that, the reason for losing […]

… I have no broadband.
… I have moved house.
… I have been sent presents by various companies.
… We celebrated Christmas on Friday.
… A new computer.
