Remember all those stories in the news about family tax credit being RUBBISH?

Just registering for family tax credit, well Clare is. Had to phone up to get a form, the guy on the phone asked our income now taking into account the fact Clare is on maternity, and we'll get about twenty quid a week probably. That's just the estim...

Is Chambers Easter Ales festival on this year?

Just realised it's Easter weekend (yeah, I'm a bit slow) when I saw a lot of hockey players in town carrying crates of beer... where are they all going? Is there an easter ales festival at Chambers this year or not?

Big old fire in London

The fire is in the Immigration and Appeals Commission building in Bream Buildings. BBC has more, though they're probably lacking behind what you can find on twitter....

The Year's At The Spring

An anthology of recent poetry, recent in 1920 anyway. Fully illustrated by Clare's great grand uncle Harry Clarke, and an introduction by him to boot. Complete with dust wrapper. I want this, buy it for us! 6 days left to bid...Hmm, Who is Mary Evans...

Clare had a midwife appointment yesterday while I was at work, everything is good, Clare and the baby are healthy. I have mentioned we have been trying to hear the baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope I bought, no joy. By some modern technological MAG...

You missed out that adding meat step.

Clare's hotpot recipe

Making this for tea tonight, thought I would share the recipe with you...* Heat the oven to 180.* Chop a biggish onion into thinnish rings and start to fry gently in large pan.* Meanwhile make a start chopping up your veg - 2 or 3 large carrots, some...

Has anyone seen Clare?

And I assumed she just headed off to Barcelona as planned! Someone's got her! Can you read that phone number?I'm posting a lot more this weekend. Can you tell I am bored? I've even done some cleaning and some DIY, and for TWO walks around town....

And we're half way through the week already!

Well I am, don't know about you, I've got Thursday off too.

Quiet and lonely night in tonight, Clare is off to the OPERA! What is going on?

You'd better go and buy another card now...

Have you seen Clare's family anyway..?

ONLY JOKING!

I see you are updating records, and so am I! So, I will stop now.

Yes, and Clare's cat since she was ten years old

He died overnight and we buried him today. Apart from that, we've had a great weekend, planting vegetables and eating and drinking. Bit hungover today.

RE: Clarendon Inn

hello pauly, the clarendon is one of the best Folkestone/environs pubs. In my youth c. 1992-1994 the place to be for the indie type crowd in Folkestone however was The Sandgate Hotel down the hill. It was a proper scruffy dive bar/pub with a cracking...

I have a dream

No not a good dream at all, I dreamt that I sold Clare's engagement ring, not just for less than it's worth, but the money I got for it all turned out to be fake. When I was half awake this morning I thought it was true and was so upset and confused....

RE: Clarendon Inn

tried to have lunch there this (May) bank holiday.Despite getting there 5 minutes before the official food last orders they refused to even give us a sandwich.I know it was a busy time for them - but that is not what I call hospitality!...

Clarendon Inn

Glad we made the effort to visit this place, after reading about it in More Tales from the Tap Room, it's a great pub. Bit of a walk from Folkestone, being just past the Sandgate Hotel, but worth the effort. It's quite a small Shepherd Neame pub, but...

This is from Clare's family tree

Joan Pentony is Clare's grandmother, there's a link to this message board from her page... I'll make a new board for this, it's confusing......

Clare's not keen and neither am I

We've had other people's weddings the last two years on the 27th, so our birthdays got totally sidelined, so not keen for that to happen again... it's like bein Jesus, the poor mite being born on Christmas Day, he only got one lot of presents.

Clare has a relative called Maime Mahon I think
