Mad ramblings whenever I feel like it….
Things have been very quiet on here lately, mainly because work has been nuts and we’ve been prepping for our honeymoon. Unlike most couples who head off for a few weeks on a beach, we’ve decided to do things a little differently.
Tomorrow at 6am we set off on our European Odyssey for the next three [...]

All evening I’ve been doing everything I can to put off writing this post… reading RSS feeds, catching up on twitter, emailing people, even housework, just ‘cos I didn’t want to put these words down on the screen.
A few weeks ago, the hubbie George acquired himself a new car. We’ve had a few issues [...]
I’ve been himming and hawing about whether I should write this post or not - the last time I opened my mouth to stand up for girl bloggers (choosing of categories for the las Irish Blog Awards) I was shouted down quite vociferously!
