{Sleepless in Suburbia}
From the monthly archives:
I have a confession. I’ve fallen into a lazy parenting trap and I’m struggling to climb out. I once blogged about how well my children slept. Like proverbial babies, they’d slumber uninterrupted all night long. Even though sleep escaped me regularly, at least when they slept I could cope with the long waking hours. Then, [...]

I’m not exactly known for my fashion prowess. In fact far from it. Ask me what the latest trends are this season and you’re more than likely to be faced with a non-plussed, blank, glassy eyed stare. You see, my name is Ellie and I’m a shop-a-phobic. I actually hate shopping. I’m rubbish at it. [...]

I’ve come over all broody. Earlier this week one of my most special friends gave birth, 3 weeks early, to a beautiful 5lb 11oz baby girl. I am totally over the moon for her and her husband, so much so the excitement may have contributed to a bit of a tumble I had. Having hoarded [...]

The more savvy among you will notice that I’ve defected from Blogger. I finally bit the bullet and migrated to WordPress.
Hurrah?
Sort of.
You see, for a girl like me from a non techie background, everything I learn about the web is pretty much gleaned from Google. It’s my life manual. If you can’t Google it, I’m pretty certain it can’t be done, or at least hasn’t yet.

My boy isn’t in the best of spirits of late. Aside from his current nasty bout of conjunctivitis and fever, he’s been sleepwalking, screaming and shouting in his sleep. On Wednesday and Thursday nights I slept on his floor under a blanket just so I could be on hand when the ‘fun’ began.

You may notice that the blog looks a little odd today. That’s because I only went and defected to WordPress! It’s still a work in progress but I’m hoping to have it looking something like respectable shortly. In the meantime, please bear with me…..

It’s that time of the week again where you pop by in the hope of finding a bit if light-hearted Friday fun! Last week poor old David Duchovny was not received with open arms. In fact, he was the least appreciated candidate so far! He did nothing for me but I have to say I [...]
