I’m not what you might call a great sports fan. As a child I didn’t really excel at any sports, although I do remember almost getting picked for the school hockey team once. I was one of ...
The geekdaddy and I have always tried to be very honest with our kids. When they ask questions we try to answer as truthfully as possible in language that they will understand. Several times we’...

Frankie & Bennys in Crewe I must admit I have a bit of a soft spot for American-style diners. I am fortunate enough to have enjoyed some amazing (pre-children) holidays in Florida, where we got r...

geekdaughter and geekson - June 2010 Recently babies have obviously been on the geekdaughter’s mind. A couple of times she’s said to me “I wish we had another baby Mummy. I really l...
My regular readers may have noticed that I didn’t publish my meal plan for last week. That is because there was no plan. I was away in a hotel all week doing some very intensive study followed ...
A couple of weekends ago we had a family trip out to the Lego Show at Event City in Manchester. I had found out that it was happening a few weeks before, and booked us a ticket, despite having no ide...
Things might be a little quiet around here this week. I’m very busy preparing to do something I haven’t done for 20 years. I’m about to sit a three hour exam. A three hour written e...

Oh, what a week it’s been. I’ve been under a lot of pressure at work as I’m out of the office on a training course for the whole of next week, and have a number of balls I am trying...
I don’t know what went wrong last week. The whole meal plan seemed to go to pot, and I ended up putting more stuff in the freezer than I had planned. It seemed to just be a catalogue of errors....

I will never forget the release date of the first iPad, because it was the geekson’s due date – May 28th 2010. The geekdaddy had pre-ordered his iPad, and there was serious concern that t...

It was a great relief to hear the news at our recent consultant’s appointment that the geekdaughter is showing no signs of having Rheumatoid Arthritis, and that her night wakings are simply ...
It was the Sandbach farmer’s market on Saturday, and for once I managed to drag the geekdaddy along with me and the kids. This was good in one respect, because it meant I could share the child-...
About a year ago I asked you the question “do you like what I’m doing?“, and it was the start of a real rollercoaster ride for me. I had no idea when I asked for your nominations fo...
