Seriously, cull radio one if you want to save some money / not duplicate what EVERY OTHER RADIO STATION is doing. Where do I go now... 2010-02-24GMT08:06:10Moving dayMoving day went well yesterday. Not really a great deal for me to do, so spent the morning at home. Tried to go to lunch at Chambers but it was shut, so we ended up in Papa's fish and chips, clearly not as good but OK. Took some pictures of Clare in ... 2010-02-13GMT07:25:42Escaped the snow todayWent to water babies as normal this morning despite my cold. It was good, three under water "swims" from Harry. Only two other parents and babies in this week, two more were out through illness. So lots of space in the pool but less voices in the sin... 2010-02-12GMT01:16:21Snow joke getting in todayNational Rail said there were no delays on my route between Folkestone and Westenhanger this morning and BBC Breakfast were obviously fed the same lie. Got to the station, earlier trains had not yet run, no danger of one running soon either. Guard on... 2010-01-12GMT05:11:43Don't cross me today!Was rudely awoken by my howling banshee of a son at 2.30 this morning. Just a bad dream I think, nothing was up. He was as cute as you like when I picked him up but each time I tried to put him back down he started again. Hard work. Plus mental busy ... 2010-01-07GMT10:26:10I'm in work todayCold is better today, still would rather not have come out though.

Cold, but no sign of snow here.Watched Hamlet last night, one of 75,000,000 programmes that David Tennant was on over christmas. It was quite good. I had never seen any Hamlet before, we did Ma... 2009-12-14GMT02:10:39High Speed rail link is live todaySo look out, all the timetables from Folkestone have changed... Does this mean there will now be a surge of interest in buying my flat, from moneyed London types? More likely just that the kind of houses we want to buy in the area will be priced out ... 2009-11-08GMT04:41:42Happy birthday HarryWell sort of, Harry is five months old today. He seems to have been here forever. He's a bit peaky today actually, his head felt hot yesterday when we got in, so took his temperature on a digital thermometer and it beeped and flashed red. Not a good ... 2009-11-06GMT01:52:16Someone's using my amazon greasemonkey script(my amazon greasemonkey script I know because errors get posted to twitter), and Harry's had all his proper naps today, and it's lunchtime already, and it's Friday! Things are looking good! Life could probably only be better if someone was delivering... 2009-11-04GMT07:45:10Kicking and screaming into the '90s!Yeah my new DAB radio turned up today. Got a text from Clare to say she'd gone to pick it up, and then convinced myself that it was actually the high chair instead, but no, it's here and it's great. All tuned in automatically, the marvels of modern ... 2009-11-03GMT09:28:56http://bit.ly/DktM5 will my payday radio purchase arrive today?
