Bought a big Christmas stocking /bag thing and one of those cheap temporary Christmas shops that are in the High Street. Since we got Tommy we daren't put up a proper Christmas tree (the temptation to make his mark would be too great) so I put all the presents in a stocking. I notice last year it had...

Years ago I used to buy stuff on E bay. that was in the days the Robbos only had one computer between them (how did we manage?) and I used Steve's account. Then after a drunken episode bidding for shoes (the shame and don't ask) I kept away from E Bay. For years.Mum announces that she would like a small...

Wouldn't it be nice if today was the last day people let off fireworks until New Year's Eve? What do you think the chances of that happening?When I was younger I thought it was really sad that married people didn't bother with special Christmas presents. My Mum would explain to me that when you're spending...

As one of the local radio stations has taken their breakfast presenters off air, in what I presume is a publicity stunt. The main story on the news is currently Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross's treatment of 78 year-old Andrew Sachs (in what was a recorded show). Questions have been raised in Parliament...

At the moment I'm reading "What rhymes with Bastard?" by Linda Robertson. I find her story touching because Linda is very honest about her own short comings. How never feeling that you quite belong, that you're not good enough led her to put up with so much rubbish. Saying that I find the pair of them...

A few points:This morning I'm sitting reading the paper, drinking a cup of tea. The door bell rings and it is a salesman from Eon. Now I hate people trying to sell me stuff at the door. But I'm polite, I appreciate the man has a job to do. I told him I was happy with my energy provider (stupid term)...

At Center Parcs there is a Playzone/arcade thing. Steve and I had an enjoyable game of air hockey. Then Steve suggested we go in this car simulator thing. Like street racer but you are in this car. I said "ok". We squeezed in (having bulky coats and bags with us - and don't forget this game is aimed...
