Dear Dr Appointment System

You only release GP appointments at 8.30am each morning. On ringing at 8.30am each day I have been “too late” by the time I get from 30th in the queue to actually speaking to someone.

This morning I was only on hold for 20 minutes but yup – “Please ring back on Monday”. I’ve been trying to get an appointment since Tuesday folks.

The system needs tweaking!

Her who is getting a little miffed now.

Dear half term.

Bloody fantastic, I can’t say any more. It’s been great having both boys at home together.

Lego, painting, laughter and general silliness.

Good for the soul (bad for the soles of feet mind!).

Roll on Easter hols!

Love, Mummy who will miss the madness next week x

Dear Ex-hairdresser friend.

Suggesting I wash my hair every now and then in washing up liquid to get rid of any build up of hair product.

Pure genius!

(Oh and Apple Fairy really does smell good doesn’t it!)

Thanks, her who has squeaky clean hair x

Dear Self

Well done! You remembered everything in your Aquafit bag this week.

You even managed to shave all of your legs, not leaving a hair strip down the front of one like you did last week.

AND you managed to keep going all the way through.

Getting cramp and jumping about like a fool with a face like a chewed toffee wasn’t quite so good but hey-ho.

Next week should be good fun 🙂

Love her who is actually enjoying exercise! (Wierdo!).

Dear Google +

Still not convinced to be honest, although your Hangouts are still pretty brilliant. This week I’ve caught up with Jay and Kat, both of who are blinking wonderful and had a good natter so I’ll not sack you yet but I could do with you coming up with some new exciting features for me, ok?

Her who WANTS to love G+ but who is struggling.

Dear Reader.

If you’ve got this far, thanks 🙂

I have a question for you. I write about anything and everything but I want to know….

What sort of stuff do YOU want me write about?

Answers on a postcard (or leave a comment).

Have a good weekend all!

The lovelies at Tots100, supported by Bright One are calling out into the Blogosphere and asking Bloggers to give an hour or two of their time (in March and April) to volunteer with some amazing projects and charities. The sign up information was launched yesterday and by early evening no fewer than 50 bloggers had registered to help with local charities which mean something to them.

Why bloggers?

Bloggers write best about their personal experiences. By volunteering for a couple of hours a blogger then has first hand knowledge of the issues a charity may face and what the work they do involves. Giving this time not only helps in the short term but by sharing the information gained with their blog followers they are raising awareness in a very powerful and personal way.

No time left to share?

If you don’t have time to volunteer (I don’t), do your bit by sharing information about this great project. Blog badges and full information about the scheme are available from the Tots100 website. Add a badge to your site, share the scheme information with your social networks and perhaps write a brief post like this one.

The blogosphere can be a powerful thing. By pulling together there is no limit what we can achieve.
