I just read a blog post over at Murry Newlands.

His advice about blogging is blog about what you want.

So what do I want.

More Massage Clients is the answer.

If you live in the Downham Market / Kings Lynn area call me and give me what I want 🙂

Also available in Cambridge on a Saturday or Monday.

Now its your turn…  what do you want ???

Better late than never..

A bit late I know but I finally got round to baking our Christmas cake tonight.

For some reason I really wanted to make a square cake this year but decided i could not afford a new baking tin.

So its the usual round cake again,next year i will have that square tin though.

Will feed it with Brandy for the next 2 weeks before I marzipan and Ice it .

Lets hope it tastes as good as it smells  🙂

Final Batch of the year

Yesterday I made my last batch of Jam for this year.

The Damsons had been a gift from someone at work.

They have been sat in the freezer just waiting for me to find time for Jam making.

My friend was pleased with her Jar of Jam and I must say it is rather delicious.

Lets hope I have time to make some Scones tomorrow to go with the Jam.

Next I have to find time to bake the Christmas cake 🙂

Wet,Windy and Wild

That best describes our week-end in Brighton 🙂

Oh and lets not forget expensive 🙁

It was Great to see Emily though.

We also got a fab, if very wet walk over the South Downs and a very nice Sunday pub lunch so all was not bad

Disappointing BT Internet

Recently I changed Internet providers.

I changed for 2 reasons…

a) to save some money
b) for a better connection so I could stream BBC Iplayer.

I am disappointed to admit that I have failed miserably to achieve either.

Within a week I had used over my months download limit so had to upgrade my package.

No matter what time of day I try BBC Iplayer and ITV catch up they will not stream with out constantly having to re-load.

To keep my custom AOL offered me an unlimited package for 15 pounds a month.

If I had stayed with them at least I would have saved some money.

I also wonder if I would have been better off with  02 broadband  But I suspect my problems are more to do with where I live 🙁

New experience ..

Over the weekend Geoff and I went looking at houses, no not for us but for him 🙂

It was a totally new experience for me.

I have always had no choice about where I live or about the actual house, never even seeing the house till I arrive with the furniture van closely behind 🙁

Out of the 5 we looked at there was 2 we liked, one was more my style of house and the other was more Geoff’s style.

We looked at 2 amazing flats, I never actually believed people lived in these kind of flats, they had a very sterile feeling though and I felt they could never truly be a home , they felt more like hotel rooms:-(

The problem is trying to decide what to do.

The house which is more my style offers Geoff everything he needs for now and is so much cheaper.

The house that is Geoff’s style is beautiful ,although it could be a cold house and have car parking problems, it could be better longer term.

Will be interesting to see what happens over the coming weeks.
