Not MY dress  Posts might be a bit thin on the ground for the next three weeks or so, as it turns out that planning a wedding – even an extremely simple and, above all, cheap wedding like ours – takes both a lot of time, and a lot of mind-space.  The ceremony is now less than three weeks away, and the tasks are stacking […]

No post on here today (well, not a real one, anyway) but if my absence is making you desolate (and if not, why not?) then you can catch up with my ramblings in a couple of other places.

Sudocrem, that staple of many a bathroom, is bringing out a handbag-sized tube, and to celebrate they were offering “handbag readings” by Debbie Percy who has made a career out of Bagology.  Apparently, what you carry around with you every day – both your bag and the contents can be a lot more revealing about you than you think!  Here’s my bag, and its contents: […]

In my spare time – you know, the time I get in between working twelvety million hours a week, and the time I spend blogging – I also moderate a debate forum.  I know, I’m a sucker for punishment. There was a debate recently about women in positions of power, and someone suggested that the only reason women wear makeup is to attract men.  And […]
