Way back at the beginning of January, when the Christmas tree was still up I set my challenge for the month: to clear all the crap from our house. We have a LOT of crap. The plan is to start decorating the house this year, and in order to be able to cope with the [...]

January 31, 2012 - 1:13 pm by tiddlyompompom
It’s been two months since I checked my progress on my day zero challenge. I blame Christmas. Given that this round up should contain two whole months of achievements, you’d expect it to be chock full of things I can cross off my list. I hope we’re not sorely disappointed… *deep breath* 2. Use our [...]

Christmas 2011 was possibly my favourite Christmas of all time. I haven’t had time to write about it yet but I expect I will bore you soon. Anyhoo, if you’re into resolutions it’s time to make them. And/or break them by Friday. I don’t do resolutions, but we have decided 2012 is the year we [...]

I’m a day early with this because I’m a keener. Actually I’m just trying to make up for my tardiness with setting my personal challenge this month. But let’s just gloss over that… Way back, when December was just beginning I set myself the challenge of surviving. I had three concerts to get through (24 [...]

When I saw the theme for this week’s gallery I knew exactly which photo I would use. That is me, aged 9 months, with my Grandpa. I don’t remember that christmas (hello, I was 9 months old…) but it looks like fun, doesn’t it? I was the first grandchild, so I expect I was spoilt [...]

I’ve never been any good at geography. I can’t even fold a map properly. I blame my the teacher I had at school. We didn’t get on, and I learned nothing other than how to write a 100 word essay on “Why I Should Not Waste My Time And That Of Other People”. I should [...]
