Resolutions
I wrote some resolutions last year, but to be honest, I didn’t hold out much hope as I’ve never had much luck with them before. However I’m looking back at that post and realise I did do quite a bit…

2011 – A Review
I like to do these year in review posts each year because it makes me look back properly at what I’ve done over the past 12 months and think about how they’ve improved things. It doesn’t look like I did…

Merry Christmas!
After last years craptacular non-Christmas, I was determined to have a good one this year. Alex and I drove up to Chester on Sunday morning, arriving about half 12, when the pub was quite busy. I helped myself to drinks…

Trick or (Doggy) Treat?

Raffle Time!
Raffles! When I think of a raffle, I think of the ones at school fetes, where random tins of food have a ticket sellotaped on and people get way too excited over winning a dented tin of peaches. This raffle…
