It's taken four weeks, a lot of cursing and the last remaining shreds of my sanity, but at last - at long, freaking last - we have a fully functional, ...
So, it turns out we COULD actually fit more kitchen stuff into the living room after all: Kitchen sink: not even visible under all that MESS. The rest of the kitchen stuff ...
I really thought the whole kitchen situation couldn't get any worse. "It totally can't get any worse," said Terry, cheerfully wrenching a cabinet off the wall with his bare hands. ...
Remember that whole, "Hey, I am totally not bothered by the renovation of the kitchen, and the fact that I haven’t been able to use the ground floor of my…
Dear Self, Next time you decide to make Terry drive you to Asda at 10pm at night, just because you suddenly realised that you couldn't live for ONE MORE SECOND without ...
Ever wondered what you'd feel like after a body pump class? Well, wonder no more, folks, because I tried one so you don't have to... A long time ago, in a ...
Actually, a better title for this entry would probably be something like, "Being so nervous she almost threw up on her dressing gown killed the radio star" but that doesn't ...

It hasn’t been the best of weekends. Friday morning kicked off with a comment on one of my blogs from someone informing me that I “deserve to be shot” because…
Because I'm still aiming for that "most boring blogger in the whole wide world" award, this week's Friday Photo depicts the new radiator in our wreck of a bathroom. The ...

So, on Sunday evening, we broke the house. This is, of course, the latest chapter in the never-ending-story that is our attempt to redecorate the bathroom. Sunday night's installment started like ...
So, we are spending January re-decorating our bathroom. And with that single line, I do believe I may have already made myself a serious contender for the “Most Boring Bloggers…
I had planned to write a couple of posts here over the holiday - one about Christmas, one a kind of "year in review" type thing maybe. Then I ate ...
