It happened two weekends ago now, but if you want more details of Heather’s flying visit she’s done a lovely post over at Life In A Nutshell. We really did have fun before we both fell ill!
This weekend I slowly rejoined the world, starting with a quick chat with Liz and Simon followed by Laurence [...]

Christmas Lists

Christmas lists. I’ve got them coming out my ears.
Not being able to leave the apartment and losing this entire week has not helped.
I’ve got multiple grocery lists, a chemist list, present lists, baking lists, an errands list and a “miscellaneous” list for everything that didn’t quite fit on the others.
Watch out Dublin, I’ll be a [...]

25 Christmas Questions
Posted in Uncategorized on December 15, 2009 | 3 Comments »
Ruthlessly ripped off from Pass The Potatoes and It Be Liz.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper for square/rectangular gifts, gift bags with tissue for anything else.
2. Real tree or Artificial? Artificial. Too much upkeep with a real one, not to mention no place to put it.
3. When do you put up the tree? [...]

Sorry about that. After my massively social week last week I truly thought I’d pop back in on Friday and let you know about all the fun things I did.
Then I got sick.
Yes, Saturday around 2pm I came down with what I can only describe as a “bad bug” (well come on, I could give [...]

I was changing bed sheets so I didn’t watch myself on The Morning Show, but I listened. I’m very pleased with how I sounded, now I just have to gather my courage to watch the video and see how I looked/acted!
And now I’m really over and out until the end of the week!

Just a few quick notes.
To watch me on The Morning Show on TV3 you can go to the website and use the video archive to find the streaming video. It’s today’s show so look for 7 December in the archive. I am not watching though, so I won’t be chatting about it!
We got our little [...]
A Little Adventure II

I’m home again from the TV3 taping and, surprise, we weren’t just a little segment on the show but the entire show! I was the last guest though which meant my part was still only about 5 minutes long which is what I had expected in the first place, so I got to sit back [...]
A Little Adventure

I’m going on a little adventure this afternoon, down to TV3’s studio to tape a segment for The Morning Show (With Sybil and Martin). Apparently they tape a day in advance so the segment will air on Monday morning’s show.
I’ll be talking about blogging along with Mummy Mania and Hot Cross Mum, among other bloggers.
I’ll [...]
