So close I can taste it

It’s now only just over one hour away from N-day. I can feel panic rising in my throat and all the ideas which have, for the last week been humming busily in my head are at the moment making a speedy exit out of the nearest ear. It’s not that I am incapable of writing [...]

I am officially a musical genius

Your Dominant Intelligence is Musical Intelligence

Every part of your life has a beat, and you’re often tapping your fingers or toes.
You enjoy sounds of all types, but you also find sound can distract you at the wrong time.
You are probably a gifted musician of some sort – even if you haven’t realized it.

Half term activities!

Yesterday I went to Hobbycraft (one of my favourite shops which don’t sell chocolate!) to stock up on all the craft items I will need to entertain my son through half term. I’m determined that it will not pass in a whirlwind of dvds as so many other holidays have, so we are DOING THINGS! [...]

N-3!

What was I thinking? 3 days until mass hysteria, tantrums and panic breaks out in the Powell household! And I’m not even thinking about half term right now. Oh dammit. Just remembered that for most of the first week of NaNoWriMo I’m going to be looking after both boys full time, as it is, indeed, [...]

Woohoo! I’m officially not a nerd!

                                                       
I found this at Tim Roll-Pickering’s blog – which I found via Jo’s website! Sorry sweetie, I really do go to other websites now and again, you just have so much stuff in your blog!
But anyway, Yay! I’m not a geek! I plan on making hubby take the test though – sure he’s going to [...]

Energy consciousness

Recently, Cardiff Council have been implementing a city-wide initiative to encourage us to recycle – this involves two bins and a green recycling bag – which has met with mixed responses. My local residents association objects most strongly to the wheelie bins (although the strongest objection I can find is that they think them ugly!) [...]

Probs with WordPress

Now, I know I’m not the most technically aware person in the world, but even so, I seem to have had quite a few teething troubles with WordPress. First off, I had real problems trying to install my bloglines button (as I mentioned before) as the code that I was given over at the Bloglines [...]

A really good idea for a present!

I absolutely love this idea for a present that I found on the Cancer Research UK’s cards and gifts website. It’s a gift set, available by mail order, of a bottle of Gordon’s Gin and a lemon tree! My mother-in-law does enjoy a gin and tonic from time to time, so I’m so tempted by [...]

Is that common?

I know that I don’t actually live in America, but it’s interesting to find out how many people have the exact same name, isn’t it! Now, before I got married I was far more common – there were 765 Jennie Williamses! Hubby still comes off worst in the common stakes though – 4395 of him. [...]

New stuff

I’ve spent a fair bit of time twiddling with this website since I acquired it all of three weeks ago (addictive, isn’t it?) and I’ve now decided to add a couple of pages to the site.
Albeit in fits and starts, I do a fair amount of craft activities. It’s mainly knitting, crocheting etc, but I [...]
