Ow, my head hurts

Posted on April 17, 2007 by jenny

Yes, my head hurts and I haven’t even gone to bed yet. I am so busy at work at the moment that I justwantocry! Yes, really. Oh well. Tonight we went to my second favourite pub in London, the Lamb and Flag, and met up with Ollie and Dafydd, which was fun. But I drank…

Feeling proud

Posted on April 15, 2007 by jenny

Tonight I managed to install twitterific on my laptop – no stopping my tweets now! We’ve had a really busy few days with my sister and three nieces staying with us.

We are enjoying spending some sunny days by the sea in Devon. Today I purchased a lovely Lloyd Loom chair which is in desperate need of some tlc. It just about fits in the boot (along with all my other lovely purchases) and I am looking forward to getting it home and covering it with…

Cleaned out!

Posted on March 31, 2007 by jenny

hedgehog

Posted on March 25, 2007February 19, 2011 by jenny

We found a lovely hedgehog underneath our rotten old shed today. He was curled up into a ball around some old plastic bags. We scooped him up and deposited him in the park at Ally Pally this evening. Robin spent the day pulling down the old shed and rotten tree with the help of some…

Newbie swap: Pick 3 items, originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. I received my first swap today – all the way from Tasmania! The package was great, lots of stickers, a cute bookmark and notepad. I’ve sent three swaps off to my partners around the world. I hope they like them.

My 30th birthday

Posted on March 21, 2007February 19, 2011 by jenny

Hooray, almost the end of my first day being 30. I had lots of presents including a nice new Orla Kiely handbag and necklace. I had lunch with my workmates and saw Spamalot this evening. Exhausting but lovely.
