And the award for most popular Mr Darcy goes to ………… Colin Firth!  Thank you to all those who have left a comment regarding their favourite Mr Darcy.  My choice is still Matthew Macfadyen and I urge you to get the latest version of the movie on DVD, it’s great.

While we are on the subject of […]

A few posts ago I talked about my list of jobs to do on my holidays and one of them was getting that draw full of phone and game rechargers organised.  Well I’m pleased to say I came up with a pretty solution that I think you’re going to like.  Here is a quick reminder of what […]

Misery and degradation and death and nothing that God or Satan could inflict would have parted us, you of your own will, did it. I have not broken your heart - you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.

A few years ago I noticed that my two boys had become very spoilt.  It was quiet embarrassing at times like Christmas and birthdays when there was nothing they wanted. Lovingly my Mum commented how great it was that my boys never asked for anything, well if only she knew it was because they were so […]

The weekend was perfect.   I got to sleep-in, scrapbook, do a little family tree research, watch a great movie and spend time drinking tea and catching up with my sister. It just doesn’t get any better than that. 
I have a hundred things on my list of holiday activities and first up is a trip to the library with the […]

 I’m on holiday yeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!  And my first day couldn’t get any better, a 12 hour marathon scrapbook workshop from 10am till 10pm.  I also plan to spend a lot of time at this table once the boys have gone back to school and I get a couple of days to myself.

So […]

Thank you all for your encouraging comments about my addiction, I feel much better now.

I have three and a half days at work this week and then three wonderful weeks of annual leave.  It’s going to feel like such a long week!  Before I start my holidays I always like to write down a list […]

For Christmas Santa brought Nicholas a 1000 piece puzzle, it’s an unusual one that doesn’t have the image to copy from, your guessing all the way.  I thought it would be nice for the boys to do over the holidays, on those hot days when they can’t go outside they could sit under the air conditioner […]

The 6th of January, for me, has always been they day my family take down the Christmas trimmings and pack away Christmas.  But why?  This morning I went looking over at my favourite source for information, Wikipeida, and as it turns out there are two reasons that the 5th and 6th of January are traditionally the days we take our […]

I’m so frustrated with my web site at the moment.  I’ve spent hours and hours trying to get the side bar to be a certain size, the text area to be full width and the bloody colours to be the same shade.  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHh!!!!! I am soooooo frustrated I just want to scream.  So let me just […]
