sorry it's been a bit quiet around here recently - I've been a bit busy... (both sets of parents visiting...)I've also been digging the garden (though I think I might have over done it a bit...)Have a nice week!

We are in the culture of "non-binding decisions". What I mean by that is that, at this moment, you can measure the hallucinatory experience of living in the US according to a range of decisions that don't matter. For instance, who is the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby? Who will win American Idol? Will Barry Bonds take over the home-run record of Henry Aaron? How high will the sea level rise

From start to finish we have been so blessed by how the house move has gone. I was thinking about this the other night when I was trying to work out what I was going to write about Heppenstalls.I realised that even though it all went pear shaped we have been blessed in the midst of it all. So I'm not going to have the rant I'd planned, I thought I'd tell you all about what a blessing all of these

Two engineering students were walking across campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?"The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, "Take what you want."The second engineer nodded approvingly,"Good choice; the clothes

I've been doing lots of reading recently. Lizzie has been working nights and I've had lots of time to myself. Two books that I've come across that I'd make a point of recommending...The historianThink of it as a similar kind of story to the Da Vinci code, only not crap-(well written and not trying to convince the world that fiction is fact...) The plot is largely rubbish - but it is entertaining

[queue: fanfare] Now the moment you've all been waiting for! The legend that is the bucket story. (Sorry to those of you that have heard it before) One night just before Christmas I had just finished reading the riot act over the phone to the appallingly, unbelievably, bad estate agents (more of this later.) when Lizzie shouted from upstairs that I needed to "get up here now!" Upon sprinting

We signed today! So everything should be running smoothly. We're hoping to complete (actually move) on the 16th and 17th, though I can't actually book the van until it's all confirmed. In the mean time the letting agent has sold the house we're renting. The only reason we know this is because there's a sold sign outside - they haven't yet bothered to tell us. Nice of them.

We should be signing a contract on Thursday if all goes well.I expect I should be pleased.The process has been such a faff though that I think I'm just relieved.Honestly after hearing about the trials other people have had with the whole thing, I think we've come off quite lightly!I'll wait until we've got the signitures on paper and give you a full (and frank) tale of some of the ups and downs

Right.In response to plenty of enquiries.The house situation.....The estate agents are crap (you know who you are) and keep messing us about and trying to stick their oar in when it isn't wanted. Real "computer sez no..." territory.In contrast Mr Matthew Lee is a legend. Really fantastic support - would recommend him to anyone. Oh and Taylor and Emmet are brilliant as well - very professional
