Doom and gloom

Financial matters and the way they are reported, advertised, or generally talked about, I mean.
I’m not one to stick my head in the sand, I know that the economy in the UK, hell, the world economy is still pretty much broken, but what I don’t get is why so many different groups think they [...]

Downloads gone too fast

It’s quite amazing, too, given the download limit we pay for!
We’ve got about the best internet connection you can have short of fibre optic cabling, which is just awesome. It makes you not consider just how much you’re downloading, because usually it’s so damn fast. We do go through a UK ISP, however [...]

Housing prices seem to be… well… not great for sellers, that’s for sure, but is it going to get even better for us buyers next year?

It’s war!

On snails! My little plants haven’t had a chance to really get going because it’s Winter, but the snails are still eating them!

My new garden

In the past few weeks I’ve accumulated a variety of pretty little plants, all ready for next Spring!
I got quite excited about having a garden, so enthusiastic was I that we ended up with many more plants that I’d initially thought we would get. We got a little lemon tree, as my fiancĂ© loves lemon [...]

Christmas shopping

Most people go a little crazy when it comes to Christmas shopping. My mother, for instance, used to start Christmas shopping right after my birthday, in the first week of September! @_@
