Well this is the beginning, and I am trying this out to see how I get on with my online diary, or just spouting useless opinions on the world and the day to day meanderings that make up my life. Post one I suppose should be about me and what makes up my life, two children, a husband and a dog, which is probably the same as a million other people out there so we should have a lot in common. My interests and other exciting things will come out as we go along so I won't make a list of how I like gardening or watching sunsets as I don't suppose that would make very interesting reading. Day one starts here with the kids in bed with a variety of childhood winter illnesses and me searching the internet to see if I can come up with a job or something newsworthy to interest me, I have had enough of browsing ebay and trying to sustain my flagging shop, and the only thing which has raised my interest is the fact that Jeremy Beadle is no more and that Sky One are bringing Gladiators back, these two pieces of information combined are enough to send a person of my age back to a simpler time when mum cooked tea etc and we were free to spend saturday evenings awoogaaaahing at the tv and hanging around the local telephone box, instead of struggling with the decision of whether it should be fish fingers again (well fish is good for them) and doing a six o clock count down until they are in bed. I will spend the evening mourning the Beadle's untimely demise and looking forward to the (supposed) snow avalanche we are due for in the next couple of days (hooray for reliving my childhood, I'm sure I can get a sledge from somewhere even if it will only be for 1/2 an hour before we all get too cold and fed up, then it can languish in the back of the garage until april, when it will be thrown in a skip, along with the rest of the rubbish, so it can be converted).
