Mother and I have decided to go to Edinburgh for her birthday weekend – a girls’ jolly to the most beautiful city in Britain. Excellent!!! Staying at a gorgeous little boutique hotel, 7 Danube Street, and shopshopshopping – Jenners, to name but one establishment! Champagne Afternoon Tea at the Palm Court at the Balmoral Hotel, [...]

Jogging along

Posted in Baby Musings, Family, Feeling Blue on March 31, 2007 | 2 Comments »

…so we continue, some days are better than others between us. Tonight is our third night off since R was born, we’re going out for dinner and a movie and then home to an empty house – my mother and father have R tonight. It’s unlikely to lead to <anything> as we’re both so beat [...]

Spring

Posted in Happiness on March 23, 2007 | 4 Comments »

The 21st was officially the first day of Spring, and also the Spring Equinox, and for whatever reason I woke up with a load of energy and it hasn’t stopped since.
Husband and I have had one of our periodic ’state of the nation’ discussions and theatmosphere has lightened – several points which were opaque have [...]

Milestones

Posted in Baby Musings on March 21, 2007 | 4 Comments »

R has had a new pair of smart walkie shoes bought for him at vast expense by his doting Nana – because he took his first steps on Sunday!! He promptly fell over but just laughed, he was so taken by his own magnificent walking prowess. Along with the conversationally-inflected burbling, this is one of [...]

Mothers Day

Posted in Family, Presents, Rants on March 18, 2007 | 4 Comments »

Husband is in the dog house. I got nothing. Not even a ‘Happy Mothers Day’! I was really upset, more because it seemed to say to me that he hasn’t appreciated all the effort I’ve put in and all the work I did on myself to get myself into the frame of mind to have [...]

Well, my job review was a total anticlimax. 5 minutes. I went in. They said ‘Whaddaya want?’ I said what I wanted. They said ‘…ok!’. I went out!

One already!

My gorgeous leetle mouse R was 1 yesterday, and I simply don’t know how he got from being a tiny, floopy baby who weighed almost nothing to a strapping toddler, who eats everything, talks near as dammit and has a blinding sense of humour. It’s truly a miracle; an everyday miracle and a quiet one [...]

Hmph!

So much for getting myself into negotiation mode – I even had the thumbscrews, bright anglepoise lamp and a cocker spaniel ready for applying pressure – but as always, meetings run late and when the directors came back, I was just leaving. Next week cannot come soon enough for me *cracks knuckles*.
Meanwhile, the weekend has [...]

Shifty-cush

Posted in Money, Work on March 9, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Today is the great manoeuvring day – I’m coming off contract and onto employed status with the company, so there’s room for negotiation. Unfortunately, my bosses are both ex-military and their idea of negotiation is to provide name, rank and number.

Secrets weigh heavy

Posted in Feeling Blue, Rants on March 5, 2007 | 5 Comments »

I’ve been abjured to keep a massive secret and I feel completely drowned by it. It’s so portenteous that I can’t even hint at the content. Suffice to say it’ll blow the cap off a couple of people’s happiness for a few months when it comes out.
I’m in the position of being a certain person’s impartial [...]
