Another year has now come to an end. Here is a brief review of some of the major things for me during 2005. The most significant event for me was the birth of our baby daughter Amelia. She is now 5 months old and is well. Quite possibly the biggest change to my life ever, […]

It’s now Christmas. I’ve finished work for a week and I am looking forward to spending our first Christmas as a family of three. Whilst opening your presents have a thought about those less fortunate than ourselves. In particular as we will be spending the time with our baby, it makes me think about all […]

The websites www.watkissonline.co.uk – this website and www.firstaidquiz.com – The first aid quiz website, have both been unavailable for a day. This is because NTL has changed the IP address that I am allocated on my cable connection. It doesn’t happen very often (a few times a year), but the process of getting my DNS […]

The famous eBay auction site can now be used to raise money for charities. Using eBay for charity sellers can nominate some or all of the final sale price to give to charity. This was first launched with the BBC Children in need appeal, but can now be used for any charity. The auction range […]

I will start blogging again soon, with pictures of my Christmas Decorations as well as more on Disneyland Paris, and my latest holiday at Center Parcs. See how this holiday checks out with respect to it’s baby […]

Since my earlier posts about holidaying with two month old baby I have now updated part three of the review. The final section is still to follow, but I will post the details as soon as it is complete. The holiday to Paris, France was a bit more of a challenge than usual as we […]

I’ve been using the Firefox web browser for quite some time now, and was pleased to see that version 1.5 has been released. This new release builds on the already great browser with an improved user interface, and improved performance. The one feature that is most visible is the ability to reorganise website tags. If […]

We took our baby daughter to Disneyland Paris during September 2005. Whilst the park is intended for children it surprised me how non-baby friendly it was. We drove to Disneyland from the Keycamp camping and caravan site. They do run a coach service from the site, but out of season this was at an inconvenient […]
