About Me

Ok well I first got here because my oldest friend Joy posted some photos from her wedding, which I missed (well gutted...)Lately I have been reminiscing a lot about old friends that I've lost touch with. I blame Corinne as it all started when I heard her voice again on the radio.It seems I have a bad habit of launching myself into new stages of my life and the past gets a bit neglected.Maybe it's something to do with settling down into motherhood but I've come to realise how much I have lost by not keeping in touch with old friends.So if you remember me and would like to get in touch, please do - I'd love to hear from you!

My Interests

Food (hubby reckons I'm obsessed) Oh ok also films, books, languages, computers, travel, just getting into photography, oh and anything to do with babies (occupational hazard)

I'd like to meet:

Old friends

Music:

Haven't had much time to sit down and listen lately but a few that come to mind are Nina Simone, Corinne, Nora Jones, Mamas & Papas, Andy Williams...

Movies:

What Dreams May Come always makes me cry Xmen, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Mummy films are great for a laugh

Television:

Eastenders, Doctor Who, BBC period dramas, although these days the telly is permanently switched onto CBeebies

Books:

I love books but sadly haven't read for ages. Can anyone recommend a good pick-up-and-put-downable book, as my little boy keeps me too busy to sit down and read for a long stint.

My Blog

Blog moved

I don't know if anyone ever reads this as I never get any comments. Anyway, I've started using livejournal instead so this blog is continued at http://burdski.livejournal.com...

To work or not to work

Actually thats a bit deceptive. If you ever suggested that a stay-at-home mum is not working youd be landing yourself in a whole world of trouble!But its such a minefield. From what I can see mums who...

In a state of flux

Note to toy manufacturers

If a toy has more than one on setting, please put off setting furthest to the left or right, not in the middle. You have no idea how infuriating it is when you've just got your child off to bed and yo...

All of a sudden

Funny how babies seem to spend ages contemplating and not doing much and then all of a sudden it's as if something's just clicked into place. After spending the last few weeks shouting at the bottom ...
