I don’t know how to drive yet, but my fiancé and I would both like to learn sometime soon.
So, with Summer coming we’ve decided that this year we’re going to learn to drive. There’s never been much cause for us to learn, as public transport in this area is perfectly fine, but at some [...]

Lately it’s seeming like a good idea to pay more attention to this issue.
So, in our quiet neighbourhood there’s been a bit of an issue with things being taken from people’s yards or sheds. Thankfully nothing of ours has been taken, but it makes you think about the possibility. There isn’t really much in [...]
It’s past time I did another theme post, so here’s a new one, on elephants!
I personally love elephants, and I’m not alone in this. My family crest has three elephants on it, which I think is pretty damn awesome. There aren’t as many elephant themed patterns on Ravelry as I would have thought, but [...]
I do like to know what’s going on in the country, but so much of the news is sad!
So, today I had a look at the BBC News site to see what’s going on in the world today. I noticed the story about the horrible fire in Buxton where a little five year old [...]
It’s like that, isn’t it, when you find a new time sink? The Tek Tek Dream Avatar site isn’t new for me, but whenever I get back into it it has that effect.
To give an indication of what I’m talking about here, here’s a few I’ve made…
I mean, are they [...]
For the perfect banana smoothie for my perfect fiancé!
So far I’ve not had any success in finding just the right recipe, either, so I’m going to make it up for myself, I think. I’m thinking it will go like this:
1 banana broken up into large pieces
1 cup of no-fat milk
1/2 cup of no-fat vanilla [...]
He always, without fail, guesses what I’m getting him!
I was out shopping today and decided to pick my fiancé up a surprise… He loves smoothies, so I was going to pick up a cute little blender I saw on sale. A short while later, he called me, and I told him I had picked [...]
In my daydreams I’ve thought of having a little yarn shop sometime in the future… but then I think of the outlay for such a thing and shudder.
I think about this little daydream in terms of my fiancé and I being much older. We’ve spent a great deal of time working in the IT industry [...]
I’ve recently gained a new level of respect for my crafting. I’m very happy about this!
It may sound silly, but really it’s not. I think it came to me when I realised I’d finished a few knitting projects all very recently, a cowl, a hot water bottle cover, and a new bookmark for my fiancé [...]
I’ve actually managed to accrue around £1000 of super!
The other day I got that little notice in the mail of how your superannuation is going. I’ve not worked for the last year because my old job was cut due to finances, so I really didn’t expect to see much in there. Because I’m still [...]
