It looks like I’m going to travel with my new job. I’m looking forward to it. Rumour has it, my first ‘real’ trip will be Seattle. There’s some big software company there, a big partner of ours, that I have to go meet.
I’m a wee bit excited at the prospect of travelling again. And, a [...]

Mean & downright narrow-minded

Been Tweeting this morning and have noticed a plethora of Tweets from a group of very mean individuals about Jade’s passing. How very narrow-minded of them.
Meanwhile, Lisa Lynch, (aka AlrightTit), lies in a hospital bed after having reconstructive surgery following her battle with breast cancer.
Even if you can’t see past your own ‘narrow-minded’ opinions, just [...]

Unfortunately, Jade Goody lost her battle with cancer and died in the early hours this morning – Mothers’ Day. Her legacy will be to save the lives of many women previously unaware of the dangers of not getting screened regularly for cervical cancer.
Whether you loved or hated the reality star, you have to admire her [...]

Last week saw us venturing out, onto the train, the tube and into the O2 for the Snow Patrol – Take Back the Cities tour. Having seen them before, we decided not to get tickets for the (rather steep) auditorium seats, but to go for standing tickets. It’s all about the atmosphere and in those [...]
Reality TV – where should it end?

One of the most talked about characters from the early days of ‘Big Brother’ is the subject of Lisa Lynch’s latest blog. It’s an interesting take on reality tv and how we view the people we are exposed to. Reality Bites is definitely worth a read – especially if anyone out there has had any kind [...]
Weekends away

With February being a bit busy, I’m really conscious that my boyfriend and I need to get away. We need to get away from home, from work, from our day-to-day lives. We really need to spend some time just being us. A couple. No homes to tidy, no issues to sort, no outside pressure – [...]
Blog rations

I haven’t blogged for a while. In fact, February was very sparce in blogging terms.
It’s the job. It’s the commute. It’s adjusting to a change in lifestyle. Eek.
I get up at 6:20, I’m in car an hour later, another hour later I’m at the office. Between 5:30 and 6:00 I leave the office, drive for [...]
