Making the Best of Home.

March 22, 2010

I’ve got a bit of a love hate relationship going on at the moment…. One minute I can think of a million things I love about this house, the next it is driving me nuts. It’s all compounded by the fact that we are supposed to have begun renovations by now, but we haven’t. It [...]

Ten Years.

You are supposed to get tin, lead or aluminium on your tenth wedding anniversary. Are you serious? I’ve been married ten years… ten long years, and all I get is a bit of worthless metal??
