A Positive Approach to Cold Sores

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: November 11, 2009

Reading through a few of my recent posts, you must all think I’m a right old Victor Meldrew, who grizzles and groans about anything and everything. I suppose it’s because it’s always easy to criticise things in a negative way. It’s really not the case because I’m actually quite proud of being very positive in [...]

Those Pet Hates

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: October 25, 2009

It’s a while since I had a good rant about anything.  Anyone who really knows me will vouch for the fact that I’m generally quite a tolerant person, and it takes a lot to rattle my cage.  However, that doesn’t mean to say that certain things don’t stir up my grumble bugs from time to [...]

Messing About on Narrow Boats

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: October 10, 2009

Given a choice of activities for a wet October weekend, how many of you would choose a sedate cruise through the canals of Staffordshire and Shropshire on a Countrywide Cruisers Narrowboat? Not many, I bet! Mind you if we hadn’t done something similar ourselves a couple of years previously, then we wouldn’t have [...]

Michael McIntyre in Cardiff

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: September 26, 2009

We’re occasional visitors to our local comedy club, The Glee Club, where we have seen a few good acts and had a chuckle along with a few drinks to let our hair down.
Last Thursday we decided to do things on a slightly larger scale and went to see Michael McIntyre at the Cardiff International Arena.  It [...]

Round the Roomba

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: September 18, 2009

In my last post I started enthusing about technology and its many benefits.  Not only can I fit my life story, with illustrations, into a chip the size of my little fingernail but there’s more.
I was once told by an old friend about a time when his work commitments didn’t allow him time to be home [...]

The time is right

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: September 9, 2009

I often marvel at new technologies.  I remember being absolutely fascinated by the introduction of digital media in the form of Compact Discs and, in the early days of computing, I can actually remember using my portable cassette tape player to save computer data.  This evolved into floppy discs, named after the wishy-washy 5 and  [...]

Lucie Jones Has The X Factor

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: September 6, 2009

Sad as it may be, I LOVE The X Factor and watch it without fail every Saturday.  This week our household was slightly more excited than usual about the prospect of watching it as one of the girls from Maddie’s class all the way through school was going to be in it! We’d already heard [...]

Sportage revisited

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: September 4, 2009

Last post saw ‘er indoors singing the merits to the Mum of the Kia Sportage.  Most of what she says I have to agree with, but for those who either know a little about it or want to know a little about it, here are my thoughts:
I had the pleasure of driving the Sportage both [...]

Kia Sportage

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: August 31, 2009

TheBabyWebsite has been trying out a Kia Sportage this week and I was asked for my comments.
Last year Nigel wrote about the Sportage but try as I might I find it difficult to think of more than about 2 sentences I can say about any car.
Basically a car gets me from A to B and [...]

Premier Inn – Our First Choice at Gatwick

Posted by: thebabywebsite on: August 14, 2009

That lovely time of the year, when we set off for our annual summer holiday, is one of the most exciting times in our calendar. I don’t subscribe to the view that holidays are stressful.  After many months in TheBabyWebsite offices I can switch off from the moment we close our front door.
However, [...]
