Another day, another blog.

I’m still hoping that http://www.aboutmylife.net will be able to recover my blog from uJournal, but in the meantime I’ve migrated over to moveabletype, just in case. We’ve had an adventure packed time of it of late – our house is going on the market next week cos we’re moving! We’ve had an offer accepted on

Oh dear.

Oh dear. I’m not doing a very good job of keeping things up to date, am I? A bit of good news is that all the entries that were previously hosted by ujournal should be recovered later this week. The ujournal database has been taken over by aboutmylife.net, so I should be able to dig

I apparently don’t know what date it is.

Last Friday has been the 24th until I came in today and discovered it was only the 23rd today. Anyhoo, much silliness aside, let’s get on with the job in had. Which is MOANING. I have many things to moan about today, but here’s a few to get us started: Banks are gits. They charge

Bah humbug

uJournal appear to have vanished up their own unmentionables in some form of freak accident (no doubt involving a leopard). After the world-famous Nelefa Blog (or Neleblog as we at Nelefa Towers fondly refer to it) being unavailable for over a week, we’ve decided to replace it with something we do ourselves. If you see

WASP!

One of my children was stung by a wasp at the weekend. That sentence, on its own, paints quite a vivid picture, doesn’t it? Sort of. You see, the thing is this: a sting exists in nature as a defense mechanism, allowing small delicate insects to defend themselves against much larger predators. So, how does

Spamming Fucktards

NO! I do not want an eight foot long penis. I do not want to look at cavorting cheerleaders. I do not want a herbal alternative to viagra, and I most certainly do not want to see “Hot naked barely legal chicks getting off with giant octopus people from the third void of Quarg”. What

Made Up Biscuit Names

Alright, so I was in a shop the other morning, cruising for a nice chunk of biscuity goodness. I was perusing the shelves in a fairly nonchalant kinda way when my eye alighted on the straw that broke the camel’s back. Fox’s Sprinkle Crinkle Crunch. Sprinkle Crinkle Fucking Crunch, ladies and gentlemen. Apparently they’re sprinkled

Packing Assistance

“Would you like help with the packing?” Well, let me just check what I’m actually buying here. Hmmm. A bottle of milk. A bag of apples. Let me see – do I need help packing? Do I need help picking up a little bottle of milk and a small bag of apples, and placing them

A Ripper Wheeze

What a pile of nonsense. Apparently, the playground politics in Mayfield is getting more petty with each passing day. God, you’d think these people had nothing better to do with their time! Anyhoo, we watched an utterley amazing movie last night – goes by the name of Bubba Ho-tep. Essentially, the premise is that Elvis

Twiddle-de-dee

Not a lot been going on recently. Things have been fairly quite on the Dow front. We had a lovely day at the beach yesterday – Harmony was going mad with excitement – she’s never seen the sea before. The weather has been lovely (for Scotland).
