“Doctors have been banned from wearing ties in an effort to contain the spread of superbug MRSA.
An NHS trust has told hospital staff, including senior consultants, that the wearing of ties and “other superfluous clothing” could result in disciplinary action.” Guardian
Hmm.
Sounds like something from “Carry On Nurse”.

Let’s see, I stayed up late last night trying to work through yet another box of stuff from under the table this time. Then I was reluctant to rise when the alarm rang, despite us having plans to head to Wales within an hour and a half of getting [...]

Yes, you. You control the Information Age. Welcome to your world.
Interesting.

OK, I know that isn’t the title
Great morning – I didn’t get out of bed. Love my lazy days with breakfast brought to me and children wandering in and out to chat. Big was particularly good this morning – she started another fairy book in her reading time, asked permission to [...]
I could rant about the government, idiot car drivers, colleagues who appear to think the boss going on holiday is sufficient excuse to give up for the next week, terrible tv all around and so on and so forth.
What would you rant about? Please feel free to rant in your own space and leave [...]
Diplomat’s suppressed document lays bare the lies behind Iraq war
“at no time did HMG [Her Majesty's Government] assess that Iraq’s WMD (or any other capability) posed a threat to the UK or its interests.”
It shows Mr Ross told the inquiry, chaired by Lord Butler, “there was no intelligence evidence of significant holdings of CW [...]
Fathers no longer needed under fertility law overhaul | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited
Dr Harris, a member of the Commons science and technology select committee, said the existing act was “unjustifiable, discriminatory and vindictive. It was also unsustainable in human rights and equality terms. The evidence suggests children do very well brought up by lesbian [...]
may have noticed a slight difference about me in the photo I posted below.
Just in case you didn’t: that was then.
This is now.
Great response from my manager when I walked in this morning – better than Small last night, who just kept saying “that’s not your hairstyle”
to a “come as you are” blogparty by Jen.
Accordingly:
What was I doing? Still wearing my coat, having arrived home half an hour ago from work and peeled clothes off sleeping smaller offspring, then I’d sat at the laptop to drink tea and read blogs while thinking calming thoughts about the latest letter from the [...]

the assertive way
Driving down the road to take the kids to school I spotted a builder walking towards the site on the other side of the road. He then took the lid of his styofoam coffee cup and chucked in on grass verge he was walking along.
I stood on the brakes (didn’t [...]
I can find all sorts of ways to waste use up time online. There’s blogging, but you already know about that
I mentioned amazon’s astore the other day, and yes, I have added another page on parenting books to my offering very recently. There’s competitions, and yes, I’ve entered another 30 or [...]
Forgot to blog that recently I’ve been doing quite well in competitions. There was the day of raffle prizes , plus a cd from songpeople (can’t find the post where I mentioned that, but I’m sure I did). I’ve also had a copy of Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management (Oxford World’s [...]
and I’ve just managed to register our new oven. Why do they do that? Put a url on the register now card, which directs you to another, you then have to search that (once you’ve bypassed the bit that tells you they don’t support your browser! ) for a link which [...]
Tonight, while I was warming up the oven for pizza, there was a clunk and the plug circuit went out. When Tim flicked the switch to put it back on, although the oven made hopeful noises, it got cooler instead of hotter. One ex-oven
So I checked my email to see when [...]
Most notably me and Small actually. In fact really only me and Small, think Big and Tim would probably be slightly agrieved if I said they were short tempered.
Small is being very three. This morning he belted Big over the head with his torch because she was pretending to be [...]
Crocodile Hunter Meets His Match
del.icio.us will eat itself
The internet is shit.
No, I haven’t managed to sort out the dining room. Just don’t ask, OK?
Instead, I’ve been playing some more with amazon’s astore. If I could get the navigation to work, I’d embed it in the site, but it just doesn’t fit. I might sort out a page all of its own actually, [...]
I haven’t quite decided what I am going to award it for, but there will be a MIU Rubbish Christmas Award.
There is a mystery prize.
Do I have to let the children join in when I play with it?
I’m dead chuffed. It looks great. I’ve skimmed the 96 page manual already and now I’m rereading in detail.
Thanks darling.
