Be Our Guest 2008-10-07 16:11:58 So, in the summer, while you lot were all swanning off on your holidays, we were too skint to do anything. Our best idea involved a trip up to Scotland but we needed a car, and as mum and dad weren’t going off on holiday there was no way we’d be able to borrow theirs [...] Read more:Guest
Just Because I Love It! 2008-10-06 10:17:06 This one’s my current obsession, kind of. I much prefer the acoustic version with Pitty, but as there’s no video of that one (unless you count the millions of cobbled together self-done image videos that litter youtube) this is the best you get.
Denim in the City* 2008-10-03 10:53:26 Yeah, it doesn’t quite have the ring that sex does.
But back to the point, it’s Jeans for Genes today. That formal dress code, the one that relaxes on a Friday to say that you can leave your jacket at home, turned super slob as hoards of us marched out on the city wearing our denim. [...] Read more:Denim
A Few Simple Rules 2008-10-03 05:44:47 We all want to get to our destination as quickly and as pleasantly as possible, but we all realise that the public transport experience is far from pleasant. To assist you in your journey, after careful observation of our fellow passengers*, we have drafted the following rules for using the tube.
Have your ticket ready when [...] Read more:Rules

The Darkness And The Light 2008-10-01 04:33:52 I’ve only been to the gym once in the past two and a half weeks. That’s what being ill does to you. In that time I was enjoying sleeping in till 7 (and sometimes later) each morning, getting up with the boy and getting him ready and off to school with Y.
Yesterday I was sure [...] Read more:Darkness
Common Ground 2008-09-30 10:55:00 My lunchtime phone call to Y* started out something like this:
“Have you seen BusyDadBlog’s post today?”
Because we both blog, and we both read blogs. In fact, we met each other through our blogs. He read mine and got in touch (in the days when I ICQ‘d and would happily share that information on the front [...] Read more:Common
Flight 93 2008-09-30 05:41:18 Burgh Baby Mom is having one mammoth giveaway at her site. It’s all in aid of the end of September, or more specifically, the end of the month in which the entire advertising revenue from the site goes towards the Flight

I’m Hooked On Your Blog 2008-09-29 10:52:08 Sam at Temporarily Me has kindly bestowed some bling upon me, the I’m hooked on your blog award.
Clearly it was my wonderful attempt at the Rookie Challenge that swung it for me.
Of course it was a good job that I posted the better of the pictures, and not the ones with my beer belly hanging [...] Read more:Hooked
Rookie Challenge: Week 4 2008-09-27 07:48:20 Temporarily Me is issuing some weekly challenges as part of Being a Rookie

Activity #28: Drink a beer
If you’re nursing this can be a great way to help with milk production (so They say) and if you’re not nursing? Well. Enjoy!
Activity #84: Wear your baby
This may not be [...] Read more:Challenge
Keep Your Cool 2008-09-26 10:17:57 So, Boris has decided that there’ll be aircon on the tube from 2010. All us Londoners (and a couple of tourists) will be able to breathe a sigh of relief come summer (or more importantly for the politicians just in time for 2012). I invite you all to join in a moment of appreciation of [...]
Suburban Mum Takes the Stage 2008-10-30 03:00:28 Suburban Mum is the oldest blog in my blogroll. Ok, maybe I’m not explaining myself very well, because it sounds like I’m saying she’s old and she’s not. Well anyway, before I dig myself into an even deeper hole I should probably just tell you to go check out her blog. Cos she rocks!
There [...] Read more:Stage

Milo’s take on classic meat sauce 2008-10-29 02:00:10 This is the second time I’ve known Milo, because he used to be someone else. Nowadays you can find him at Milo and the Year Zero. We both live in the same city, but unbelievably we’ve never met. That might have to change once I’m back, cos I fully expect him to bring me this [...] Read more:sauce
Bordering Sensible – The F Word 2008-10-28 02:00:59 Something nutty for today (you’re not allergic are you?). Mrs Nutty Mummy from Little Nut Tree Blog were she writes about life with her two beautiful girls and tells some really awful jokes!
I weighed 136lbs when I met BN. Tiny really.. Not skinny. Not supermodel tiny. But slim and healthy. But I didn’t see it.

The old stomping ground 2008-10-27 16:20:58 For once we actually made it out of the house on time. We’d said to Nan that we’d pick them up just after nine and we were there at ten past. They may have been waiting since 7:30 though.
We’d agreed to meet the others down in Gatehouse of Fleet: C1 drives like a lunatic [...] Read more:ground
The truth shall set you free – or lock you up… 2008-10-27 02:00:16 Kicking off the guest posting for this week is Emma, of Where There’s a Willer… She’ll try to convince you that you shouldn’t go visit her blog, but she’s wrong - you should.
Not that I have written one before, but my understanding is that guest blog posting protocol dictates that you put a little [...] Read more:shall
We’re here! 2008-10-25 15:56:49 So we made it, and in the absence of an Internet connection Y’s iPhone Is just about doing the job, even if I will have RSI by the end of this post!
Once I’d managed to find Y the journey to Derbyshire was uneventful. Got inside the house and immediately wished I’d not got out [...]
Brain Storm 2008-10-21 10:19:23 So, I run the risk of being accused as politically incorrect (as apparently the term is offensive to those with brain disorders) but I feel like there is s storm whirling through my head, running the risk of blowing everything away in it’s ferocity.
You see, since I decided to enter NaNoWriMo my thoughts have not stopped [...] Read more:Brain

The Own-Up Challenge 2008-11-17 09:43:50 Over the past few weeks I’ve been carefully watching my statistics. I’ve not been looking at numbers, or what you’re here for (because honestly, I don’t care to know how “dr. who” pink shoes or chan pie gnon brought you over here). What I’ve been interested in is where you’re coming from.
So I figured I’d issue [...] Read more:Challenge

Fragile 2008-11-09 14:14:24 For this week’s search engine story our main prompt was candle in the mist. Seeing as the desert doesn’t seem to be a particularly misty place, I’m not sure if I can pull that one in anywhere. Maybe if I get back to the crystal towers before the end of the week.
The ‘Just One’ prompt [...]
Because of you 2008-11-07 06:50:01 This week’s prompt on Search Engine Stories was ‘because of you‘. Well in fact, this week we were lucky enough to get two prompts. Because of you was the main one, but we were also provided with the idea of a prompt to write a perfect paragraph, that one being ‘road’.
I struggled to incorporate road [...]
And why are we blogging today then? 2008-11-06 08:16:51 So that’s it then, I’ve finally hit that mythical writing stage: procrastination.
You see, I’ve come to the point where although I can see the end of the story, can reach out and touch it, I just can’t arrive at that magical ending. There are points along the way, and they will all make amazing installments [...]
Because I damn well feel like it 2008-11-05 05:36:21 Kelley has inspired me! I solemnly swear that I will NOT post every damn day and only post when the mood strikes. I promise to love only me forsaking all other blogs for as long as Al Gore allows the internetz to live. Because I have sleep to catch up on, and missed Portuguese classes [...]
I’m never ill, unless I force myself to be 2008-11-04 10:01:36 You’re out with friends, you go to a bar, buy drinks, pick up a souvenir pack of matches, you don’t smoke but for some reason it comforts you to keep them with you.
You go to the toilets - look for a cigarette machine on the way, you’re craving. There isn’t one.
You go to a club, [...] Read more:myself

The rest of the holiday 2008-11-03 10:47:19 Tuesday we decided to head up to Edinburgh and wanted to see the castle and Mary King’s Close, a warren of streets beneath the Royal Mile where plague victims were rumoured to have been quarantined. We went to the castle first, but after climbing the hill up and noticing the price (£11 per person) we [...]
Friday night is the time for… 2008-12-12 14:08:28 I went upstairs for some peace and quiet so I could phone Nan. When I left, TB was eating dinner and Y was at his desk working. It being nearly 7:30 when I was done, I came downstairs shouting that TB could have five more minutes before bed, only to find this:
So I called to [...] Read more:Friday
