Hi... *peeks round corner*  It's me!

Poor little Livejournal, you must think I forgot about you.  Well, the truth is, I've been cheating on you with another blog...  Gasp!  I'm sorry, please forgive me :(

So much stuff happened last year and, as one of the things was me deciding I wanted to get back doing creative type things, I set up a blog ( Read more... )

Ah, little livejournal, how I have neglected thee.  It has been six months since my last confession...

My plan was to start this journal as a record of my mid-life crisis/freakout about turning 30, but said crisis (as promised) has involved me taking every opportunity that comes my way to do stuff.  This has been so successful that I spend so much ( Read more... )

Robbie Williams has gone on strike and is refusing to release his new album according to news reports this morning.  Omigod, how will we all cope? 

 I think I am over my previous wibble.  I am now less prone to adopting the foetal position and sobbing quietly, and much more like my usual bouncy and annoying self, hurrah!  Well, hurrah for me anyhow, however those who know me well may perhaps prefer the more subdued and less squeaky version, but that's just tough I'm afraid :)  I have not even ( Read more... )

 So, I very recently found out that my cousin is pregnant.  She is six months younger than me and we've kind of grown up together since we were kids and always been close.  I am, obviously, incredibly happy for her, especially since she has had a truly awful few years and I can't think of anyone who deserves something good to happen to them more ( Read more... )

So, tis now 2008.  Scary.  I have not yet decided on any resolutions, although I did keep last year’s, which were to embrace randomness and meet new people, both of which I did, yay!  Perhaps this year I will resolve to get back into making jewellery and become a better skater, although both require a large amount of time, so I may have to choose ( Read more... )

It was indeed quite stressful.  I was sat next to a very posh medical expert and his equally posh wife.  I mean posh as in live in a completely different world to me.  Luckily, the boy was an absolute star and charmed the wife with talk of the NHS, private health care, university education etc and told her of my jewellery making background, which ( Read more... )

Well, apart from failing to find any Brussels sprouts in Brussels, the boy and I had a lovely time.  The architecture is incredibly beautiful, the people are lovely and the chocolate is really rather good.  I also discovered that Brussels does not like vegetarians at all.  Booo.  I had a devil of a time trying to find a restaurant that had ( Read more... )

I am going on the Eurostar to Brussells tomorrow.  And I am intrigued as to whether they will have brussels sprouts in things on all their menus.  Hmmm... I am rather suspecting not.   But I have never been on the big train before so I'm way more excited than I should be about a visit to Belgium ( Read more... )

I have accidentally begun a little picture.  I am entitling it "UK Civil Justice System" in honour of the amount of time I spend on the telephone to various Courts, Funds Offices, etc, who never, ever answer their phone, or keep me on hold for an hour assuring me that I am 29th in line to be given some attention, honest.  As I spend this time ( Read more... )
