Re-posted from Feb 1 2010, if only because I'm so delighted she won! More step-mum nonsense to deal with this week. Bloody annoying. I've organised for the boys to watch Question of Sport being filmed in Manchester this week and am really hoping that isn't ruined! I've (willingly and happily) cared for Mr Moregeous's 11yr...

Life: Never mind the Priory, Hedgehog therapy is all you need
Much of this week has been, in equal measures, stressful and boring. The latter because I loathe doing accounts. The former because I've more deadlines than any human should have to cope with.

A little like this, in fact, although there is the added ingredient of overwhelming stress here: 2. For the work-from-homer, there is no... Continue Reading →
Business: The January Blues, sorry, Accounts
Deep in the January Blues Accounts at the moment. Oh. So. Dull. I wish I was one of these people who could put everything in a black plastic bin liner and dump it on my accountants desk with a dismissive shrug of 'sort that lot out, and fast'. But I'm not. I want to be outside... Continue Reading →
Design: What would you expect to find in a shoe box?!
Minus 15 last night in parts of Manchester, quite ridiculous! The heating was fired up through the night, rendering us all dormice incapable of getting up at an early hour. It was only the postie knock which got us up, ok, got Mr Moregeous up, and when he came back upstairs, he tossed a black... Continue Reading →
