Before Christmas I was invited along to a special blogger evening at Rush Hair in Birmingham, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it. Instead, they invited me back to get my hair cut & blow dried, and eventually I made it in to get my almost waist length hair chopped off. The staff at …
This weekend James and I are headed up to Manchester for the Blog On Conference. I am going to be speaking on Sunday to a roomful of bloggers about WordPress. I’m not quite as terrified as last time I did this, because it’s no longer my first time, but I’m still pretty nervous. My slides …
Lydia is going to be four on the 27th Feb… in just one week. It seems a bit unreal that our youngest girl is almost four! She is really looking forward to her birthday party, which we are doing for the weekend after her birthday. It’s just going to be a small group of little …

The last week of school was cancelled for her then & there, so no nativity performances, no Christmas disco, class party, Christmas lunch, or classroom visit from …
I love film adaptations of children’s picture books, and the news that *We’re Going on a Bear Hunt* has been adapted for Channel 4 this Christmas had me very excited! The girls love this book, and the adaptation of it looks like it’s going to be really good.
On Saturday we headed to Cadbury World to check out their Christmas Celebration Weekends, and we all had a great day out at the chocolate factory. For Christmas, Cadbury World have a Santa Show and a Pantomime on, as well as a special festive menu.
